Ubuntu Karmic Koala. Application exit's when apply an effects on a clip and reproduce it

[Roberto Clemente]

I upgraded from oldest versions of ubuntu. I've just installed openshot and it's delicious but i can't add effects, as if i do it, application hangs when i reproduce it. I've just created my launchpad account and i don't know so well how to help, but i'm very interested in it. Downloaded the .deb from the web.Thanks in advance,

Ubuntu: Linux ubuntusrv02 2.6.31-16-generic-pae #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 05:20:21 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
Openshot: OpenShot 0.9.54

Which effects did you try to add? If it is the audio effects, check you have SOX installed on your system.

Sorry for the lack of information. I mean the video effects like blur,
for example.

As you are using Karmic, you should consider using the PPA to install Openshot. First of all remove Openshot and any dependencies you installed from the.debs, then follow the instructions to install from the PPA:

http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4

Hopefully then you will have better results.

I am having exactly the same issue using Ubuntu lucid 10.4 Release Candidate. I just installed Openshot from the PPA as instructed above, and it still had the same problem with some effects. Openshot just completely crashes back to the desktop without error when I attempt to 'play' the clip with the effect applied.

I am applying the effect (one at a time) to a single clip (avi file converted from mpg using ffmpg, I had to convert due to the bug where Openshot screen goes blank (white) after using the razor tool on an mpg...).

Here are the results I am getting for each of the Effects:
Black&White = crash to desktop
Blur = OK
Burning TV = completely black screen
Cartoon = crash to desktop
Charcoal = OK
Chroma Key = Seems OK but I didn't try actually keying another image
Contrast = crash to desktop
De-interlace = crash to desktop
Distort = crash to desktop
Echo = n/a (audio, didn't seem to crash when applied)
Edgeglow = crash to desktop
Gamma = OK
Glow = crash to desktop
Greyscale = OK
Hue = crash to desktop
Invert = OK
Mirror = OK
Nosync = crash to desktop
Old Dust = OK
Old Film = OK
Old Grain = OK
Old Lines = OK
Oversaturate Colour = OK
Phaser/Pitch = n/a (audio, didn't seem to crash when applied)
Pixelated = crash to desktop
Remove Blue = crash to desktop
Remove Green = crash to desktop
Remove Red = crash to desktop
Rotate = OK
Saturation = crash to desktop
Scan Lines = crash to desktop
Sepia = OK
Sobel = crash to desktop
Threshold = crash to desktop
Water = crash to desktop
Wave = OK (no crash but looks very distorted compared to paused view)
White Balance = crash to desktop

Hope this helps.

I am also getting an issue with the way the file is being rendered when previewed and exported... there are white dots of distortion around flat black areas of the frames (both realtime preview and exported file). Although these 'dots' don't appear to be present when previewing the (unaltered) file with Totem. The exported file DOES show these dots in Totem, so it looks like that is due to something Openshot is doing, perhaps?

This is the best video editor I have found yet in Linux, apart from a few bugs :) Keep up the good work. If you need more info, or the sample vid files (11 and 22 MiB) let me know.

Please install the following package: frei0r-plugins
(i.e. sudo apt-get install frei0r-plugins)

This is a missing dependency in Lucid. For some reason, I thought this dependency was taken care of by one of the other libraries OpenShot uses, but apparently that changed at the last minute.

Please let me know if this fixes the problem.

Thanks!
