"I have a simple mission: To create an open-source, non-linear video editor for Linux. Many have tried and fallen before me, but for some reason I feel compelled to try myself. I am documenting my journey in this blog for all to read. It will be a dangerous journey, and I might not make it back alive. Hold on tight, and enjoy the ride! By the way, I'm calling this project OpenShot Video Editor!"

PPA Instructions  

What in the world is a PPA you ask? It is an acronym for Personal Package Archive.

This is now the preferred way to install OpenShot for Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. If you use an older version of Ubuntu, you will still have to use our .DEB installers. Also, I highly recommend un-installing any existing version of OpenShot (and it's dependencies) before you install via the PPA.

Using this PPA is simple! Just enter the following commands, and that's it. You
should now be able to launch OpenShot!

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and 10.04 (Lucid)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc

Now that OpenShot is installed, you should be able to launch it from your Applications > Sound & Video menu, or from the terminal ($ openshot). Every time we update OpenShot, you will now be prompted to update to the newest version. It's a great way to test our latest features.
