MLT is the library that uses 100% cpu, right? OpenShot is based on MLT so bad luck I guess. Are you also at the same time developing and maintaining the MLT library? http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlt/
If yes that would be too much work on such a small development team, would it not?

If you think this is FUD then know that I sourced these half-baked thoughts from http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/avoid-openshot.htm
"that most of the problems I experienced are not OpenShot's fault but that of MLT, the video library that is currently used."

As of 2013 18 March, using OpenShot 1.4.3, I still notice this 100% cpu
problem because when a program uses my cpu constantly I get finger
burns, and I cancel video conversion since I'm afraid my laptop will
burn and be destroyed. Sometimes fear cloud the reason.

Title:
  CPU 100%

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This bug derives from Question 78804 CPU 100% from upromis

  it is possibly connected with Bug 403154

  Bug is that processor runs at 100% all the time, or if multi-processor
  then one is at almost 100% and another is also being used by Openshot
  at same time so a 3 processor system can have 60% of total processor
  time used by OpenShot.

  What I have now found is this:

  The 100% processor time can be switched off by opening the "Export"
  dialogue, and then either exporting a file, or even just by cancelling
  the export before doing anything. This sends a signal to stop whatever
  process is looping.

  Whatever function is being called to stop the looping when the export
  dialogue is closed, needs to be added to the initialisation when
  opening OpenShot, and when opening a project, and whenever any
  activity happens regarding playing of clips.

  If I simulate this by opening and closing the export dialogue at all
  these times, OpenShot works much more smoothly, and so far without
  problems.

  I am not yet familiar enough with the code base to find it in the code
  yet.
