[Bug 777223] Re: Openshot 1.3.1 segv's: cannot import name main

 

You 're problem come from the version of MTL that you are using. You must upgrade it either using the sunab PPA (if the patch is present in this one, I hope this solution) either using the svn Sunab PPA (the patch is in this PPA). 
See here how to update your version of MLT : https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1861 and http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=974
