Any 2012 activity re. Openshot, please?

Anyone tried it with Exprimo 5x14?

Is there a preferred alternative?

Thanks!

Hey edoc,
hope you've had success with Openshot in Exprimo. Normally for this sort of thing I'd relapse back into XP and use Virtualdub, but I've been using Exprimo and LH64 for months now without having to even think of using MicroSoft.
I've got Open Movie editor working in pemasu's 5x14, but noted sunburnt writing that Avidemux has ongoing sound management problems, so I gave it a miss completely. I then saw that online forums rank Openshot much higher than Open Movie so I haven't given it much time (rushed assignment deadline). I tried to download Openshot via the Debian repositories and as you may have found, it is dependency hell for us noobs who can't get around missed python dependencies etc it is a bit of a show-stopper. Loading Openshot from terminal results in reported "mlt" errors - despite that package already being installed - so I have heart that the problem might be solved with some well-placed symlinking (that I wouldn't have the first idea of solving).
RSH provided an Openshot+python dependencies SFS on his German forum - compiled in Lucid and works also in MacPup528 but not Slacko. I found it didn't work in Exprimo (some sort of file call issues re subtle directory structure differences I'll wager) - but seems to be fine in my frugal-install of MacPup528. I'll have to migrate to there to get this job done...
I'm really rushed for time next two days, but I see Openshot (rather than cinerella etc) would be a really valuable asset in the dpup repositories, as a pet or SFS. Perhaps you might pm pemasu or post a request in his forum?
I just remembered seeing a great page darkcity posted in the wiki (I think) about Openshot and dependencies - perhaps you could search there to solve dependency hassles? Sorry I haven't been able to include links etc as I'm at work and under the pump, but I HTH...

Sorry for my delayed reply and thanks ...

We just returned from a 16-day, 17-state, 7,000 mile family trip ... quite an adventure!

I have forwarded this to our 17yr old son as he's the video editing person in the house - tho I think our daughter is learning as well.

I suppose I should fix his laptop power supply so he can read this!

Hi edoc -
good to see you had a safe and happy journey. I've migrated to Exprimo 5x15 (on a laptop I'm not currently working on) and despite downloading as many python dependencies as I could, I couldn't solve a MLT problem (codecs not being called correctly, from what I understand). Went into MacPup528 on the same machine and found Openshot a delight to work with - mixed audio and remastered a video production with no troubles.

Do you have the devx loaded?

It is supposed to contain all of the dependencies.

[Puppyt]

No, I didn't try the devx, and I really should have started there to avoid getting strangled by python, post-hoc. I had thought I could use the deb repositories to hunt down and install the dependencies - from memory there were many leaks in the cross-dependency checks (naturally enough) and my main bugbear in Exprimo+Openshot was "MLT Python bindings failed to import". But if you manage to get it working in Exprimo, would you mind posting a pet? Perhaps? No rush for me - "done deed" in MacPup.
Cheers

anyone... please if you have unstable openshot, please check
did you see :

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/displaylink_drv.so

or instead

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/displaylink_drv.so.not
???

please check if deleting ".not" will make your openshot work properly.

btw
blender-2.56a-beta-lucid52 + Openshot-1.3-Lucid + Python-2.6-Lucid
work nicely in 528

Thanks to smil99

openshot-1.4.2.sfs : 50 M
nothing on the screen, unknown via terminal.
With Pupos 511, openshot was only crashing after opening a video file, it was better.
Enjoy, Precise Openshot does the job, until the end.
Pour faire des vidéos avec openshot, utiliser une Puppy basée sur Precise.
