my bug description was the output of trying to install openshot under xubuntu 12.04. the only way i could resolve it was by upgrading to xubuntu 14.04.
now openshot installs ok, but when in use, it crashes all the time. i will try upgrading MLT as your faq recommends. openshot+xubuntu11.10 used to work fine. i miss xub11.10; in my view it was a more usable product than xub14.04. oh well... whilst i'm here, i have an openshot feature request: i would like to be able to take a snapshot occasionally, and "convert to image sequence" is messy because it creates so many photos. i can get around it by exporting, taking a snapshot with vlc, and then adding that to the openshot project, but this is rather timeconsuming. inserting two cuts around the area i want to snapshot and converting to image sequence is also possible, but that too feels like an unsatisfactory hack. if a snaphot feature were to create a .png or .jg file with a filename the same as the openshot projectname appended with the video time that the snapshot was taken, that would be perfect. of course, it could happen that later on, after some more editing, another snapshot was taken with the exact same time, but in that case a "do you want to replace?" box could popup and give the user the chance to change the filename in a "Save As.." dialogue. hope you like my videos, all of which are produced with openshot. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4y5WtsvtduooErlxg7h5dxQ2h2UALN0h -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Bugs, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391008 Title: openshot: Depends: python (>= 2.5) but 2.7.3-0ubuntu2 is to be installed Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: Architecture (64 bits or 32 bits) : 64 Operating System & version: xububntu MLT/melt version: melt: Depends: libmlt4 but it is not going to be installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/1391008/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
