Basically, the latest version openshot-qt increases file size, which does not have any advantages. I have a lot of 2-hours length mp4 video, which were cut from 2-3 hours plus F1 downloads. The original files are in mkv or mp4 container with approximately 8-12GB size.

Using the old openshot 1.4.3-1.2, I was very happy with the small file size and quality at 720p 25fps using xlib264 and AAC which outputs 1.4GB file. However, the latest version increases the file size to 3GB.

So I uninstalled openshot-qt and installed openshot_1.4.3-1.2_all.deb. It had missing dependencies, but worked perfectly. But Ubuntu 18.04 keeps uninstalling and installing the latest openshot-qt. I used Synaptic Package Manager to mark this as locked but, Ubuntu keeps updating openshot. All I want is to use the old Openshot Video Editor without self auto-updating to the latest version (which does not always work with audio and increases file size).

Is there any way to lock the version of old Openshot Video Editor?

Im trying to edit some videos in Openshot but there's no sound in the preview window. Sound works when I play the videos on VLC however.

The videos play with melt but they also have no sound. Im running Ubuntu 12.10. Spent a good two hours on Google searching for a solution with no results yet.

I checked out the questions with similar titles and didn't find anything that I thought would help. I am attempting to convert a video into an avi, preferably xvid. The video file's Video and Audio Properties are as follows:

Video
Dimensions: 1280x544
Codec H.264/AVC
Framerate: 24 frames per second
Bitrate: 774 kpbs

Audio
Codec: MPEG-4 AAC audio
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 32 kpbs

I have tried numerous times to convert this into an Xvid codec AVI but I have had no luck successfully getting the audio to sync properly. I am using Openshot to attempt conversion, using the libxvid codec and AVI format, but I am unsure of the proper audio settings I should use. What settings should I use to convert this video with Openshot? If it is not possible with Openshot, or if there is a better application to use, I would be grateful to know that as well.

I recorded my desktop with quicktime (for a tutorial I am making) on an iMac and the output was a .mov file.

I edited and deleted scenes with openshot and know I don't now how to export it to a .mov file again.

I know the video format is supposed to be .mov but the codec I am not so sure about that h263, h262, libvpx?

Openshot stopped working on my friend's laptop. Running it in a terminal produces this. I suspect a python library it needs was removed.

------------------------- 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: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_cursor'
----------------------------------------------------------------

Tried:

  • Reinstalling openshot
  • Searching for the error reveals this bug, but I don't have the locale problem.
