I have problems very similar to those described in #24, with the same conclusion - OpenShot cannot be used for anything but simple tasks.

It appears that the crashes increase in frequency as the number of clips increases (as opposed to the length of clips). Usually it just shuts down, but on occasions forces a machine restart - a huge time waster.

The action sequence which most consistently cause a crash is:

1) edit / move a clip
2) click on the timeline play head

1) edit / move a clip
2) click 'go to start of timeline'
3) click on the timeline play head

Exporting a project and using that as an input to a new project also helps, which is why - apart from observation - I think it is related to the number of clips
