Public bug reported:

Clink on the help button and it brings up a tab list.
Of the items on list, ask a question could give right answers, but looks like serious time delay.
The other item that looks close to help is "Contents      F1" (Note: "Help contents    F1"  zeros in on where help is.)

So if the "Contents     F1" is clicked, a window pops up with "Document Not Found"
So where is the help?
It looks like help is not easy to find. The local help does not work and no online link to a help website.
It should be easy to find help with out having to poke around to find the help.

So help, user documentation, user guide or link to the previous items  - some thing is missing and maybe a work in progress, then again, it just may be like most projects, the black eye of user documentation.
I did find the link to the project site in the "Help"  -> "About" -> "Project Website" but this is just poking around to yet poke more on some site, not very helpful.

Please include the following information in your bug report:

Architecture (64 bits or 32 bits) : 64 bits
Operating System & version: Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit 
Installation Method : Software Manager
Version of Openshot installed : 1.4.3

Hopefully the above will give a clue on how to fix this or give a reason
to work on the help.
