I've got the same error on Manjaro (an arch derivated) and on Linux Mint. I've identified and informed Jonathan since the beginning of November about this bug in Libopenshot. And with any kind of files (audio, images, videos) and even a file created with the animated 3d title.....................
At first look, the bug with swig seems to came back and despide several update of Libopenshot he is still present. Now we must be patient and wait the good update....... Thanks a lot to help us to improve Openshot especially this version. -- 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/1522780 Title: ...is not a valid video, audio, or image file.
