[Bug 1067328] Re: previewing effect of video edits causes Openshot + Desktop to freeze

 

The first thing you should do is check this FAQ (especicially the parts
regarding seeking):

https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/983

What version of MLT is on your system? There was a memory leak that is
fixed in v0.8.2, if you're not using that try upgrading to that version.

Are all your avi files from the same source? Does the same thing happen
with all of them?

Title:
  previewing effect of video edits causes Openshot + Desktop to freeze

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Openshot 1.4.3 installed via PPA under Ubuntu 11.10 as per guide on
  Openshot website.

  Initial messages on start-up:

  charlie@fiona-ubuLenovo-3000-G530:~$ openshot ./Pictures/100CASIO/CIMG1113.AVI &[1] 5498
  charlie@fiona-ubuLenovo-3000-G530:~$ 
  ------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
  Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
  Error Message: cannot import name main

     OpenShot (version 1.4.3)

  Process no longer exists: 5295.  Creating new pid lock file.
  Adding files to the watch queue:
  /home/charlie/Pictures/100CASIO/CIMG1113.AVI

  Detecting formats, codecs, and filters...

  etc... 

  application seems to load / run.

  Use the Resize tool to shorten the AVI file loaded above (size is
  approx 13MBytes, generated by a Casio ZX-60 camera); resizing is
  successful and modified AVI file can be saved as mp4, replayed with eg
  Movie.

  BUT: if I use the 'preview' button to check result of the re-size
  before  saving/exporting the video file, the Openshot GUI locks up.

  Moving mouse to left of screen to 'activate' 'Dash' launcher has no
  effect; Alt-Tab has no effect (there are other apps running).

  Ctrl-Alt-F2 DOES bring up a console where root can login;
  Python/Openshot are NOT taking an excessive amount of CPU (virtually
  none..).

  kill -9 'pid of Openshot' restores normal system function.
