Compiling OpenShot is a big project, I have the same itch but I can't pull myself doing it yet
I have been using Openshot in Ubuntu
Nothing else - well maybe kino
is simple, obvious and just works
Openshot was compiled for Puppy but did not display properly for me

It makes perfect sense that more modern Puppy OS
should be running more demanding software
