I don't say anything definitive on my part, but the "some crasher issues" are pretty severe. My main feeling is that GStreamer is a mature and very widely used framework, while the MLT framework used by OpenShot is not so widely used. Similar crasher issues I've experienced and heard from anyone given a try at Kdenlive, which also uses MLT. There is also possibly a similar situation with PiTiVi <-> OpenShot as with Shotwell <-> GIMP. If PiTiVi is able, thanks to GStreamer, to give on average successful small scale video editing for someone "just trying it out", I think it's good. OpenShot though has simpler UI than eg. GIMP comparatively. But similar to GIMP, OpenShot would most probably an application everyone more serious about editing should know - a case for Software Center or even installer / post-install. I've been thinking that Software Center should have some post install welcome thing for a couple of times, suggesting "first steps into Your Ubuntu" kind of functionality, offering installing GIMP / OpenShot / Inkscape / Scribus / Ardour / some top games. 2c, -Timo -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
