Running OpenShot in a Container
Running OpenShot in a Container
Transform with OpenShot
OpenShot on Fedora 33 doesn’t work. Well, not for me at least. Basically it installs fine and runs fine, but the moment I attempt to import a file, boom! Core Dump generated.
using the following packages:
$ rpm -qa openshot ffmpeg
ffmpeg-4.3.1-16.fc33.x86_64
openshot-2.5.1-4.fc33.noarchI found the following when searching around for similar issues:
Which took me to this in the blender code:
/* Certain versions of FFmpeg have a bug in libswscale which ends up in crash * when destination buffer is not properly aligned. For example, this happens * in FFmpeg 4.3.1. It got fixed later on, but for compatibility reasons is * still best to avoid crash.
And further addressed here and supposedly fixed in 4.3:
dnf doesn’t like the idea of downgrading to f32 versions because there are a ton of dependency changes there! We could otherwise see there are a lot of possibilities going up or down in version: https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=ffmpeg but I don’t feel like breaking my distribution’s dependencies.
The direct download at https://www.openshot.org/download/ didn’t help either as it is an AppImage that uses my underlying system libraries and bombs out worse than before:

flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.openshot.OpenShot
$ flatpak install flathub org.openshot.OpenShot
