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

 

"Not sure what is meant by 'file isn't added to Openshot "

By that, I mean the file isn't visible in the project files tree or the
timeline.

1. is it possible to verify that your test machine has the same
characteristics as mine, in terms of 64/32 bit, Python library versions,
etc...

I run Linux Mint 13 (32 bit).

2. is there a way to get this test case tried out on a number of
different machines with different characteristics ??

Only if others with different machines decide to chime in - I only have
1 machine.


I tried adding your clip to OpenShot in the normal way, i.e. adding the file via the Import Files menu item, and the clip plays ok after being trimmed, so I would say use that to workaround the issue you are having.

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.
