Openshot will not open

Well I am a little disappointed that I have not heard even a peep from anyone in regard to my problem and I have noticed on the Openshot forum many have the same or a similar problem. I guess I will not be using or recommending Openshot.

Cheers

Sorry you are experiencing an issue with OpenShot. However, I will need more information to be able to help you out. Please try running OpenShot from the terminal:

$ openshot

This should display an error message (hopefully). Please copy/paste the output back to me, and I'll take a look. OpenShot is supported by volunteers, so sometimes our support is better than other times. =)

Thanks,

Hi,

i run
 sudo python setup.py install it runs successfully. But when i try to open openshot from terminal getting error

openshot

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------- ERROR 2 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot.openshot import main'
Error Message: could not open display
----------------------------------------------------------------

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries
required for our application to run. Here are some trouble shooting
tips:

Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the
 following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get
 an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
 NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.

       $ python
       >> import mlt
       >> mlt.Factory().init()

Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is
 to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more
 help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
 a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new
 bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!
