this is openshot 1.4.3 for precise puppy



OpenShot Video Editor is a free, open-source video editor for Linux licensed under the GPL version 3.0.

OpenShot can take your videos, photos, and music files and help you create the film you have always dreamed of. Easily add sub-titles, transitions, and effects, and then export your film to DVD, YouTube, Vimeo, Xbox 360, and many other common formats.

only tested on precise puppy. (requires the devx)

Note: the help file doesn't work as it requires gnome i think... i'll look into it.

i haven't tested everything, so please let me know if something isn't working and i'll try to fix it.

you can download it here.......

HI 666philp !
Thank you so much ....seems working on Precise . But did not test further .

Tried on Dpup Exprimo 3.6.2.1 openshot in terminal
" openshot sh: /usr/bin/openshot: /usr/bin/#python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory "

How could one get it working on DpupExprimo .
But nevertheless thank you .
Is there any chance for Kdenlive on Precise or DpupEXprimo ?

hi backi. I'll have a go at getting it working on dpup tonight

HI 666philb!

Trying your openshot pet now with python 2.7.3 .

In terminal i got

" openshot

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: No module named openshot
----------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------- ERROR 2 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot.openshot import main'
Error Message: No module named openshot.openshot
----------------------------------------------------------------

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries
required for our application to run. Here are some trouble shooting
tips:

Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the
following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get
an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.

$ python
>> import mlt
>> mlt.Factory().init()

Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is
to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more
help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new
bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!

Any idea?

[666philb]

hi backi, is this in dpup?

if so .. can you follow the instructions at the end.... type python in a terminal, then type .... import mlt and see if there's an error.


( i did have a go at getting it working on dpup and failed, but i do have another idea if i get time)

Hi 666philb !
I am using dpup .
In terminal "" python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

in terminal

>> import mlt
got
>> import mlt

got

in terminal
mlt.Factory().init()

got

Then i put in terminal the whole

and i got this message

tested in clean frugal install of precise to edit together a video for my dad.
Worked flawlessly! (the first time openshot has ever been able to complete a video for me). I used a fair amount of effects/chromakey and cuts and it all worked.
Thanks so much

sorry backi, i've had no luck with getting it to run on dpup. what i need to do is get a blank dvd and burn a debian live dvd, install openshot on that, then look at the differences between that and the dpup install.

i'lll do it when i get some time

[backi]

Hello 666philb

Thanks for your interest !!!

[666philb]

hi backi,

i'm having to give up on getting openshot to work properly on dpup. Whilst i could get openshot to start-up it wouldn't import any of the plugins, rendering it useless.

i couldn't figure out the problem sorry

666philb - good job

Just use the devx (for Python)
and installed your SFS
(no need for xfce or Nvidia drivers for me)
so far so good . . .

. . . however . . .
I of course want to use the animated titles
. . . for this you need Blender
Downloaded from the Puppy Package Manager with all dependencies
missing dependency libpython3.2mu.so.1.0
could not find it/download from the PPM

. . . OK then tried this blender
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=514221&search_id=1762321933#514221
Seems like it could be working . . .

Remember to add the location of Blender and restart Openshot
. . . 3D rendering is slow of course . . .

Really appreciate this as Openshot gets more stable
and it is an awesome bit of open source

We are Puppy
and we have videos to prove it . . .

Hi Lobster !

Did you do what you did on Dpup or on which puppy ?

Hi 666philb !
Thanks for your goodwill .But if i need openshot i can use my precise puppy installed on Usb stick .
But nevertheless i would like to see it run on Dpup too .

Have a nice day !!

my first test with this openshot was with my sons p4 system 3ghz single core processor with only 1gb of ram.
I only edited sd quality on this and had to be patient but it worked fine.

My second test was on my wifes dual core 2.7ghz system with 2ghz of ram editing 720i hd footage. Everything was nice and smooth.

The important thing with openshot is to add all your footage to tracks then SAVE! I've read that openshot tends to grab memory with every action taken so I think that is why it crashes. Saving regulary and occasionally restarting (quick cuppa break?) seems good practice.
