OpenShot – a much loved Video Editor here on OMG!UBUNTU! – today launched a new experimental PPA for people wanting to sit on the bleeding edge of it’s development.
FFMpeg Off!
The current PPA proved to be nothing more than a disaster for users who installed OpenShot from it. OpenShot was packaged with it’s own codec libraries which replaced users traditional ones. The result was no video playback and required a jolly jaunt around some terminal commands to get it back working. It seemed users were stcuk with either OpenShot or keeping video playback.
Resolved!
The new ‘openshot-edge’ PPA solves this issue so users can install it (and heck uninstall it!) without creating issues or problems on their systems.
OpenShot-Edge
Each time an update is committed to bzr, this PPA is updated. This isn’t the most stable version of OpenShot… just the newest most bleeding edge version.
~ Jonathan Thomas, OpenShot Developer
This PPA is Karmic only and will not be totally stable. If it’s new features sooner you’re after then this is the PPA to use!
