,

Here is a quick status update on OpenShot. Things are progressing nicely. The code is really shaping up, and I am making very good progress. Here are few of the recent changes:

  • MLT framework has been integrated
  • A threading framework has been setup to work with MLT (so OpenShot doesn't freeze while playing videos, creating thumbnails, etc...)
  • The Gstreamer based thumbnail code has been replaced with MLT code, and as a result, is much faster and more stable.
  • It is now possible to easily drag 'n drop video clips into OpenShot, add them to the timeline, trim and arrange them, and watch your creation inside OpenShot. Not ready for primetime yet... but getting close.
I wanted to share a few screenshots of the development version, since we all know a picture is worth a thousand words. So... enjoy!

    Hi I found randomly your software. I would like to test it. But how to download the whole sourcecode in Trunk ? Wget download just a small part of the files.

  2. Jonathan Thomas  

    Assuming you have bazaar installed, this command should get the entire trunk:

    bzr branch lp:openshot

    It will create an "openshot" folder, and download all the source files. The README has instructions on how to run the program.

    I am impatient to see it in PPA

    Under Mandriva it's baz... Well.

    bash-3.2$ baz branch lp:https://code.launchpad.net/openshot
    branch: could not determine source revision from directory: /home/kawada/data/Divers

    argggh... 20mn to try to understand the man :) Sorry I don't understand how works bzr/baz.

  5. Jonathan Thomas  

    Are you sure baz is the same thing as bzr? It seems that bazaar has gone through many different naming schemes. Maybe you have an older version of bazaar.

    Maybe you could compare the version of bazaar you have with the newest version at http://bazaar-vcs.org/.

  6. X-Or  

    Yes, the last revision dated from dec 2008 for Mandriva.
    Is it possible you create a snapshot tarball ?

  7. Jonathan Thomas  

    I don't have anywhere to store a TAR of the project right now. I just have this blog (which doesn't let me upload files) and bazaar with my source code.

    As I get closer to a release, I will provide many ways to easily install, I'm just not there yet.

    If I were you, I'd contact the bazaar mailing list, and see if anyone can offer some suggestions for Mandriva. Good luck!

    Note: the Mandriva package is 'bzr', not 'bazaar'. Bazaar is in the 'contrib' media section (see http://easyurpmi.zarb.org) Packages are maintained for all current releases. Backports for stable releases are made available later. Currently bzrtools, qbzr, bzr-gtk and the python dependencies for loggerhead are all packaged.

    On 64Studio / Debian Etch.
    I am getting the below error when it is time to download openshot.
    After this error the install continues to build, and at the end there is no openshot directory.

    How do i fix this?
