You can install this in two ways
Method 1
You can download .deb packages from here .Now install .deb packages using the following command from your terminal
sudo dpkg -i packagename
Method 2
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc
Now that OpenShot is installed, you should be able to launch it from your Applications > Sound & Video menu, or from the terminal ($ openshot).

This is huge. It looks fantastic, I must try it. Cinelerra blazed the way early on, but was PAINFUL to use after using the likes of vegas video.
Anyone tried this yet
This app shows a lot of promise-easy to use controls, navigation, etc. The only problem I have is poor audio-scratchy, choppy. Any solutions?
Ubuntu 9.10. Thank you
I’ll have to give this a try. I bailed on Cinelerra because it was so hard to use and went back to Vegas on Wind0ze. If this one works well, I’ll be glad to hop over to Linux again 😀
I am getting the following error while trying to launch openshot from terminal. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Error: OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.
(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)
Use the following command to install OpenShot:
$ sudo python setup.py install
@Kiddo: Do you have installed the dependencies package and/or kdenlive? Using kdenlive and openshot simultanously will break the mlt framework for openshot. (May be fixed, had this issue with version 0.9x of openshot)
@sgo
Thanks for the reply 🙂
I tried launching Openshot after removing Kdenlive, but getting the same error 😕
Thanks openshot work fine with me (lucid+dell dimension 5150)
