>>>whilst i'm here, i have an openshot feature request: i would like to be
able to take a snapshot occasionally, and "convert to image sequence" is
messy because it creates so many photos.  i can get around it by
exporting, taking a snapshot with vlc, and then adding that to the
openshot project, but this is rather timeconsuming.  inserting two cuts
around the area i want to snapshot and converting to image sequence is
also possible, but that too feels like an unsatisfactory hack.  if a
snaphot feature were to create a .png or .jg file with a filename the
same as the openshot projectname appended with the video time that the
snapshot was taken, that would be perfect.  of course, it could happen
that later on, after some more editing, another snapshot was taken with
the exact same time, but in that case a "do you want to replace?" box
could popup and give the user the chance to change the filename in a
"Save As.." dialogue.

You can already take a snapshot with Openshot. I don't remember the keymap
but you'll find it in our online manual here :

More you'll give us informations more we 'll resolve quickly this situation.
You'll do 3 things.

1- I would like to  know exactly versions of the following software
installed : openshot, ffmpeg(libavformat, libavcodecs,..., MLT (libmlt,
libmlt++,...). You have the exact denominations in FAQ's that I have given
you precendtly.
Use a screenshot tool (for sample if you are using synaptics like I've done
on the faq about ffmpeg (link of our forum). Or any way that you like .
2- run openshot in a console (typing openshot or openshot &), do what you
have done until the crash and copy/paste all the output here.
3- Use this faq https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/983 and tell us
(or copy/paste) the result.
