Openshot first test : well !

#31 Post by Pelo »

There are a lot of tutorials on the web. Look at them first. But Openshot is easy to work with.
OpenShot is nice (joli)
You define first the video format you want to use and where you are going to publish (You Tube). OpenShot choose the adequat parameters (with some choice from yr own, nevertheless).
I suppose you need RAM large enough to allow it to manage all the MBs.
The result in not so heavy, 14MB for 4 minutes, it's correct, the same as Avidemux.
It was my first trial.
It's OK. I transfer the video to YOU TUBE, and i will add the address later. My comment is in french, frenchies are so poor on the web in tutorials ( a lot of spanish, well !). Click on the blue :
Demo Openshot made with ? Openshot !

My Slacko 5.3 based 1.4.0 OpenShot works great. Have Blender, full Inkscape (for editing animated titles) ... etc all working fine.

The only thing I've never used/understood is the MELT preference. IIRC when I first installed I had to run some mlt python commands, something like import mlt and then factory init mlt or suchlike. But I've no idea what mlt or MELT actually is or does.

What is MELT? / What is it used for?

I have in mind that its some kind of fade (melt away) type function/action that I've never used (that I know of).

Thank you 666philb for building this! However, I tried both the .sfs and the .pet that you linked at the beginning of this thread, and when I type "openshot" in a terminal, I get the following message:

Code: Select all

Added /usr/share/openshot to system path

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------

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

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!
This is what I get when I do the suggested test:

Code: Select all

# python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jun 22 2015, 19:43:34) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mlt
>>> mlt.Factory().init()
<mlt.Repository; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'Mlt::Repository *' at 0xb72a2968> >
>>>
What's wrong here? Where can I get the missing modules, and how do I install them?

thank you

Use Openshot with thin Slacko 5.3.3 ! that is the feedback on the forum.
Not only openshot installs well, but it edit movies, incredible :)
What about Openshot with Wheezy, for our Debian Lovers. You shall know later. (pupjibaro wheezy is a non British Puppy, it's a pupjibaro de America del sur, for speaking spanish people (USA too, New-York and others towns, i'm sure)
