Public bug reported:

Openshot often refuses to start from the launcher, i.e. the launcher
icon appears to be dead. Ubuntu 14.04 is running in VirtualBox under
Windows 8.1.

The following fix from Kirk Schnable temporarily fixes the problem:

OpenShot version 1.4.0, Python 2.7.3, on Xubuntu 12.04, all updates are
installed. ... No LADSPA plugins were found! Check your LADSPA_PATH
environment variable. [Where the hell is it, and what do you check it
for?]

I uninstalled and reinstalled OpenShot and Python's MLT libraries...
sudo apt-get remove openshot python-mlt3 --purge
sudo apt-get install python-mlt3 ## It is unclear whether this command should refer to python-mlt or python-mlt3
sudo apt-get install openshot
Then I got rid of the old profile settings for the user.
mv ~/.openshot/ ~/.openshot-old/

After doing the above steps I cleaned up the various  cacheswith apt-get
and rebooted.  Everything appeared to work. The next morning Openshot
reverted to having a dead launch icon.

It is clear that the openshot package contains a lot of carefully
thought out and powerful features and represents a lot of very
impressive work by its developers. My problem is that ALL I want to do
is reduce a .avi file from my camera, UNCHANGED, to a 320 x 240 .mp4
that will play in the most common phone and desktop browsers using the
most elementary and featureless HTML5 video player imaginable. This
task, which should have been a no brainer and taken minutes, has been
only partially successful after 2 man days of frustration.
