Hi all! I'm using Shotwell compiled from Git in Linux Mint 10 (based on Ubuntu 10.10) and I had the same problem with GStreamer. To solve it I simply added this PPA [1] and installed GStreamer from it. Note that that is a PPA for developers, so it could break your system —I didn't notice any change since I installed it, but I watch all clips using VLC, so don't trust me here...
Hope to help. Cheers!!
