If you're getting this error:

*** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import ***
*** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import ***
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/share/openshot/classes/thumbnail.py", line 174, in run
    mlt.Factory().init()
NameError: global name 'mlt' is not defined

then it is usually the case that there is a previous installation of MLT
hanging around on your machine. This could be from an earlier install of
Openshot (maybe via the .deb installer, or a previous PPA, or from a
kdenlive PPA or something). Either way, you should uninstall Openshot
and then ensure the previous version of MLT is fully uninstalled. Check
there are no MLT files in the folder:

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
