Ok, it's not magic, but it's really cool. I have just released version 1.0 of the OpenShot Build Wizard on LaunchPad. It is a python script which downloads, builds, and installs all of the dependencies that OpenShot Video Editor requires. Download the Build Wizard Here!
However, I should warn everyone, I have only tested it with the following OSes: Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10, and Ubutu 9.04 (both 32 and 64 bit CPUs).

Although this makes it much easier to install OpenShot, this is not a general release of OpenShot. This is a primarily a tool to allow interested developers an easy way to jump in, evaluate the project, and hopefully join our team!
If you follow the instructions in the README, and OpenShot still doesn't work, please file a bug on LaunchPad.

I found your project on sf.net and have seen it uses GTK. The GTK is also available for Windows, so I was wondering if OpenShot could also be used in Windows and if so, are you planning to support Windows (sooner or later)?
Of course I encourage you to do so! :-)
Currently I use avidemux, but it has only very limited video editing capabilities. :-(

Nice name, Mr. Windoze. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that OpenShot's UI can be run from Windows using GTK & GooCanvas (which both support Windows). The bad news is that our most important dependency (the MLT framework), currently only supports Linux (although I think a Mac port is in the works).
I initially was developing back and forth between Windows and Linux... so I know the UI works in Windows. But, now I have MLT references everywhere... so I imagine it will just break now.
If and when MLT supports Windows, that will enable OpenShot to be run on Windows. Thanks for the comment!

I installed on Kubuntu 9.04 64bits. Same "Segmentation Fault" mentioned in https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+question/72475, chosing "1" in FFmpeg question. Choosing the second option did not work either. Chosing the third option everything work fine.
Are all base program files installed under ~/openshot?
If not, Where can I view the installation location of each file?
Thanks!

It might be easier to see where everything goes if you crack open the install.py, and see what it installs.
In general, it creates 4 folders in your home director:
~/openshot
~/mlt
~/frei0r
~/ffmpeg (depending on the option)
Once it configures and builds these programs, it installs them into your main /usr/bin, usr/lib, etc...
The rest of what it installs is from the repository (lots of -dev packages).
To be honest, it's a bit of a mess right now. Once we are done with version 1, we will revisit the packaging and deployment areas, and hopefully improve this.
Thanks!

Awesome software (and i mean it). I currently study Computer Engineering, so i know how hard it is to build software like this one (not to mention the lack of "official" - comercial - support).
I really encourage you to dig deeper into the capabilities of this project. One thing I noticed is that in my first video (several months from now) pictures resizing in motion, like zooming in/out moved awkwardly, kinda "yes... no... ok, yes" (i now, it's a mess to understand me -.-, working on it). But i "used" that "effect" to make the movie seem an old film, so it was ok actually, hahaha. Really, guys, keep up the good work and cheers!
