Can you follow the steps from the link below, in particular the seeking
part. I would suspect the problem is due to the use of the ogg format.

Title:
  OpenShot scatters the clip accross the whole timeline

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying to cut off a small clip from one big recording. The big
  recording is ogm file, ripped off a dvd video disk, total length is
  approximately 1h 38m. The resulting clip should be somewhere 'round 4m
  30s according to initial estimates.

  Here are the steps I've taken:
  1. Started OpenShot
  2. Dropped the big ogm file from Nautilus to Openshot
  3. Added the the file to one of the available tracks
  4. Positioned myself 24 minutes into the video, approx. 1 minute before the moment I want to get
  5. Pressed the play button in order to locate the exact spot where I want to cut the video
  6. Surprisingly the video shown was from a moment, I know for a fact to be approx. 6 minutes from beginning.
  7. OK, perhaps the timeline is buggy... let's move 10 - 15 minutes ahead... probably I'll be close enough to find the spot I need; so I moved to what the timeline indicates as 38 minutes from beginning and pressed play again to see how far I have moved
  9. Even more surprisingly than before what I saw was 30 sec. or so after the previous play attempt
  10. OK, in my experience OpenShot has never been too cooperative when I need it to jump to an arbitrary spot on the timeline; so I tried moving back and forth about half a dozen times hoping to make some sense of it

  At this point I realized I'm near the end of the track and the
  timeline says this is approx. 43 minutes from the beginning. Where the
  remaining ~55 minutes are supposed to be is beyond me.

  Furthermore, the timeline of the track indicates it's at the end of
  that tack while the progress bar under the video indicates I'm
  somewhere near the middle of the video.

  And even more interestingly when I press the play button, the video
  shown is from somewhere near the 10th minute into the original
  recording.

  I have no idea how the heck I managed to crap the program so badly.
  This should be a new personal record of mine. I've to the report a bug
  item in the help menu, so I hope all needed info should be attached to
  the bug report. In addition I'm attaching a screenshot. Please note,
  the blurring of the video preview on the screenshot is by me, and not
  a problem of the program itself.
