Funktioniert inzwischen einwandfrei (nach Deinstallation aller vorherigen Versionen von OpenShot (incl. Entfernung der OpenShot-PPA) und Neuinstallation beider OpenShot-Versionen (hier 2.6.1)) - Meanwhile working quite fine (after uninstalling all the previous versions of OpenShot (incl. removing the OpenShot-PPA) and reinstalling both OpenShot versions (2.6.1 here))

This one does not work for me. The sound is not smooth and video playback stops and runs. For those having troubles with this one, please try "Openshot-qt" which works all the time for me and never have problem. Yes, looks for the one with "-qt" after "Openshot" which works much much better than this one. I feel this listing should be removed as it bears the full name but does not work as good as "Openshot-qt". Why got it listed here and confused people?

It's basically unusable, video playback stops randomly and won't resolve itself. Hangs and freezes all the time even when just starting a project. I didn't mind using it in the past when it worked halfway decent, but for some reason it just don't seem to work after reinstalling it.

I'd give it 5 stars for being easy to learn and use, but because it crashes so much I give it 1 star. I recommend not trying it until you read it is crash safe. I tried it with Linux Mint 19 and 20 on two different laptops.

Flatpack is too unstable and so many crashes. It even refused to open it after a crashed: "Process 108285 (openshot-qt) crashed and dumped core. This usually indicates a programming error in the crashing program and should be reported to its vendor as a bug." Trying the appimage.

Download direct from Openshot`s site (Linux 64-bit AppImage) search YouTube on how to install an Applmage, both versions say its v2.5.1 but the one from their site has all the buttons (top left) in full colour & the program seems more stable, i just done a 4K UHD without a crash. LM 20.1 Cinnamon

Basically unusable, constantly hangs and freezes for no discernible reason. Sorry, I prefer not to leave bad reviews for open source projects for obvious reasons, but Openshot has been like this for years and was just as unusable the last time I tried it. Hard pass.

Not working on bigger files, like HD movies. Simply hangs up and one needs to 'Force Quit. LM 20.3.

Used to use this for several years. But the developers have forgotten one important rule: "if it aint broke don't fix it". V2.5.1 flatpak is useless (can't find libmp3/mp3?!! etc etc): uninstalling & reverting to an older version

Can't install it through the LM Software Manager on LM 19.3 Xfce. Installed fine through the terminal though. Someone... pls fix the Software Manager version.

I had an icon problem with this version of Openshot on both LMDE4 and LM Mate . The icons do not all show up (eg. under video preview window and also above the track bars). I installed the standalone program from the website after that and all the icons work as normal. It's a great little program that gets the job done, and has special effects that make the video making fun. Recommend it. If you use the LM software manager version and the icons are barely visible, just head to the website for the standalone (all dependencies worked in). You just need to open the file properties and make it executable (it's not by default) and it works great. I'll post a screenshot of how it appears on LMDE and LM Mate versions.

Équivalent (et meilleur) que Movie Maker, utile pour faire des montages simple et rapide. Je le recommande!
