What do you get if you run the following command in the terminal?

melt noise -consumer avformat vcodec=list

It should return a list of codecs. If you get a playback screen filled
with noise or something else, then there is something wrong with the MLT
environment somewhere.

Ideally you should be using v1.4.0 of Openshot, which uses a different
(more reliable) method to retrieve the codecs which avoids this problem.

Title:
  No formats or codecs were found

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  Opening openshot, I get the message: "Error! No formats or codecs were found.  Please check the OpenShot preferences and configure the 'melt' command name." Anyway, the app is able to open and play the saved project, but is unable to export it as video. 
  I tried several suggestions from openshot users forum previously reported (http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=865, http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=350), but none solved the problem.
  I am running LMDE (gnome) completely updated (openshot 1.3.1-1, melt 1:0.7.4-0.1, installation method: synaptic).
  Any suggestion? I'm afraid there is not a simple solution and I will have to repeat the project with another tool, as the deadline for my academic work is coming soon.
  Thank you very much for your help.
