I had been using OpenShot for simple video creation for few years and loved working with it. The old versions such as 2.5.0 were OK for my purposes. But the later versions have a lagging issue. Most of the time, the playhead does not move, or moves very slowly which makes it is impossible to use. This has been a good video editor for simple videos until the new versions were released. It is regrettable to see a good and useful software comes to this fate. It is high time to debug the codes and rectify the problem.

Working with new release (2.6.1) Suspect this might be easier, eventually, but lacks any user documentation for new release. "Intermediate" level users such as myself need guidance on new tools (?Origin X/Y replacing Crop??)

Actually - waste of time. Random crashes. Can't export - crashes again.
Not recommended to even try it.

I like the idea and the look of it, but in use the interface is clunky and counter-instinctive, e.g. it is very fiddly trying to find a particular frame to mark and then cut. The audio is not visible by default and it is very slow to scan a clip to show it. On a fast PC with lots of RAM it should fly smoothly, but it doesn't. It can open off-air HD h.264 TS files, but it stutters and locks up frequently when editing them.

Having used much older versions of the program which crashed every few minutes, I was impressed when I edited and exported a video with no problems in about ten minutes
I then tried to make a slide show using around 30 jpg photos and a music track but after trying to fiddle with transitions, the program froze completely. I couldn't close it and didn't know about killw at that stage so I restarted the computer.
When I restarted I tried to open Openshot but it flashed instantly and then closed each time. I thought if I removed my project source files it would be ok, but now while I can open the program I am in a permanent loop demanding I find the directory for the files, but with no 'cancel' option or ability to access the main menu and start a new project. I downloaded the daily update to see if this might make a difference but that is no different.
I am not sure what to do next as somewhere the AppImage file has made start up files but despite lots of searches in system files I cannot find these.

A shame. It looks nice, just crashs randomly. Sometimes on opening, sometimes importing projects, sometimes playing video in preview, it just randomly crashs whenever. I hope they can get this up soon because it looks to be really nice to use. At the very least, take this version down and put up a version that works.

Probado en Windows 10 64-bit. Es algo inestable, pobre en herramientas y hace un pésimo uso de las transiciones. Nada recomendable en la actual versión.

This is the second version of the program I've tried to use (the first being 2.2.0). Program will not open, just displays a bunch of Python error messages. Hard to believe this still isn't fixed.

This latest version (v2.0.7) for Linux give you the option to download App Image. No need to install, just make it "executable" and put a shortcut on your desktop to launch it. Very sweet, I like that option. Works very well for a basic multi-track video editor.

Installed OK. Has a nice looking user interface. Loads files OK.
Played video for several seconds before stopping. Still some bugs.

I see there is no rating for this yet, so here is mine. I installed this in Linux. It is a good basic multi-track video editor. I was surprised it correctly interpreted my RGBA clip without the need to "enable alpha channel". It's pretty solid and easy to use in Linux. I haven't installed it in windows, so I can't comment on that.
