This is a wierd one...
It seems you upgraded to trusty (14.04) via precise (12.04), which may mean there is some crud left over on your system that is causing this problem, although it's hard to say.
This might not get fixed, because of the new openshot 2.0 coming up (hopefully) soon, so hopefully, since that will have been reweritten, this bug will no longer apply in future.

Were you running any other program at the same time?

Thanks,
Hamish

I tried on another computer, fresh 14.10 install and it segfaults too. Note that some projects open fine, but the one I'm working on just segfaults.

Sorry, but I don't have the knowledge to help you any further.
I'm not sure about open shot 2 either, as it's now a year behind,
and even though I was going to help develop it, it was never in a good enough state for me to build it,
and there's been no activity for a few months, unfortunately.

Hopefully, this'll get noticed by someone with greater knowledge fairly soon.
Sorry I can't help any more,

Openshot qt ask us a lot of work, like we have completely re-designed. So
its takes us some time, more that we have never imagined.....

Do you have check all your dependencies ? At first look, this crash comes
when you add an image , no ?

Like it is an update from 12.04, you could remove Openshot and MLT, check
if all is removed (for mlt) correctly and re-install it.

Another word. What is your version of ffmpeg ? libav ?
