That looks very interesting Aitch.

Are we going to be able to get it to run in Puppy is the question. It seems to have a lot of dependencies. Some work has been done with Mepis but as far as I know it hasn't worked yet.

I'll be watching developments. I really don't want to install Ubuntu.

Yes, I don't know the answer to that, John

I merely put up the link, figuring if people thought it usable in Puppy, someone would make a.pet

1st post now edited with request, thanks

Yes I think it might be quite an undertaking.
I unfortunately wouldn't really know where to begin but it won't stop me trying.
I downloaded AVLinux today because it has openshot included. I've tried it from the live cd and it seems quite good. Now I need to have a look at it in AVLinux and see if I can figure out what needs to be done.

I know the folks over on Mepis managed to get it to install and found the dependencies but last I looked there had been no success with getting it to run.
Here are a couple of comments I gleaned from that forum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"You need a restricted ffmpeg to export to most video formats
Python-mlt is needed
When I tried the .debs from the openshot site, the openshot-dependencies debs installed without error. For the openshot.deb the only dependencies I had to install were python-pygoocanvas , libgoocanvas3 , libgoocanvas-common and then it too installed without error and put itself in the multimedia menu. However it does not run.

I have subsequently tried the install.py script but it is written specifically for gnome/ubuntu and as you say fails at the first hurdle.

It appears that it needs python-gtk2 (>= 2.16"

So looking at the above comments it may not be a simple process.

I made pets for openshot 1.0.0 and the latest openshot 1.1.3 specifically for lucid puppy. Might work in other versions of puppy.

Check the following thread for details:

Success porting Openshot video editor to to puppy

Great tutorials from Aitch - I posted them in a similar thread
Highly recommended

I am now using Openshot in Puppy Fatdog 64bit
- but also had it working in Lucid.

Here is a film - not perfect but I am still learning and explring

I found that if I don't use the markers
the program is more stable.
However it does crash but is still very usable
and easy to produce results

Woof woof
