I'm running Lucid pup and i can't get Openshot to work. I've tried so many different downloads but i can't. It shows in the menu but doesn't open. When i type it in the console i get bad bash command. lost tom newbee

Did you install the one from here? : lupu news.
That should work on any Lucid Puppy.

Cheers.

Bad news.
See the screen cap...

OpenShot has been working in Ubuntu Studio: "Puppy Edition" since day one, long before there was ever a pet.

Simply download the iso, and you will have OpenShot running on Lucid Puppy out of the box.

Some (most?) recent puppies have a bug in the package manager, so they complain that dependencies included in a package aren't found.

Yes.

Try starting from the console with the following:

/usr/share/openshot/openshot.py

Report any errors here if it doesn't start.

Cheers.

I just downloaded OpenShot Pet, puppy 511, using Quickpet Newspage .... which does not even indicate what kind of program it is.

After the install, system told me to look in menu, multimedia.

I opened Openshot up a few times, then it refused to close, frozen and all I saw possible to get rid of the hanging prog was to reboot the computer.

So, I know now that it is a(nother) Linux Media Encoder, traditionally missing functions Microphone and Webcam ..... no replacement yet for good old windows n00bfriendly stuff (Moviemaker; Windows Media Encoder) thus meaning I have no use for this and will uninstall.

Very sorry indeed.

Never check that pupplet... I'm running Puppy Studio 3.1 (Openshot included):
It crash every time that you want to use a simple effect on any clip, like 'distort' or 'blur'...
And it gets even worst if you add the FX, save the session and then you play the partial render : your session is goint to crash every time.

Anyway it work, but forces you to pay attention.

This is the version Openshot 1.1.3 based on python 2.5
it is stable for me with all the effect. in diaboluq
but if you install or run, scribus, Gimp-2.6.8-Lucid, Gimp-2.6.8-Lucid
lupu_devx_511.sfs etc... who are build with python 2.6 they replace the link
/usr/bin/python whith a symlink to python2.6

you have the simple possibility to replace this symlink to python2.5
(right click on /usr/bin/python2.5 symlink python)
Or to build the application with Setting Up a Virtual Python Environment.

the new version Openshot-1.2.2 is not yet stable.

Papos

how can i get it to work ? That is the question (not install only, easy, but work !)

2016 : people who practice openshot choose Slacko 533thin to run it (Slacko 533thin will run laptops with only 512MB RAM, fluently, even with openshot SFS 1.4.0 loaded on the fly
rendez-vous here topic Openshot compiled for Slacko Click the blue, please.
Newbies should verify format they need before launching Openshot. Read a little bit about it, before starting.
the best way is to watch tutorials, isn'it ? often tutorials show how to load Openshot, but are poor how to use it (linuxians tutorials always show the install 75% of the video length, you can skip this). Not sure that they used openshot once )
