Bug Description

When staring OpenShot with no project file, the message is shown in the project tree view as:

 "Choose a Video or Audio File to Begin"

I think this message is unclear and confuses some users, while PiTiVi shows longer but more obvious one:

 "Import your clips by dragging them here or by using the buttons above."

I suggest that the message is replaced with better one.

I think it's too long.

How about "First, Import a Video/Audio File Here" ?

I have change for that :
First, Import a Video/Image/Audio File Here

What do you think about that ?

Obviously this patch remove and replace the previous.

Hmm... a plural form might be more suitable here:

 "First, Import Video/Image/Audio Files Here"

Anyway, in your patch, you put an extra space before "Audio", and forgot to capitalize "here".
