I apologise if this I am saying is a bit redundant. I have similar problems in ubuntu

Here are some trouble shooting tips: Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT. NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below. $ python >> import mlt >> mlt.Factory().init() Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!
