Maddening dependencies needed for OpenMovie

English Multimedia
#1

It would seem a simple task to install a fairly simple video editor, right? WRONG >:( OK, if I say something dumb… I’ve been using openSUSE for awhile but I’m still probably in the novice-intermediate as far as linux education goes.

Anyway, trying to install OpenMovie and it listed some dependencies it needed so I collected them and began to install them but then THOSE dependencies needed dependencies. One itself needs 16! Collecting and installing all of these one by one is sure to cause a suicide eventually…

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a single package that would solve my problems all at once? Because I couldn’t find one… HELP PUUULLLEEZZZEEE!!!

:open_mouth:

P.S. Here is a sampling of the types needed:

libavcodec.so.52
libavformat.so.52
libcdio.so.7
libdca.so.0
libdvdread.so.3

and about 10 more… and that is just to support libgmerlin_advec.so.1 and libgmerlin.so.0

My hardware is 64 bit in case that makes a difference to you.

UPDATE-- Well I installed OpenMovie with one-click install but it doesn’t load… just tries to and fails

Hi
Add the packman repository and use zypper in or YaST

Since your recent problem does not match with the title of this thread you should open a new thread.

Hint: start OpenMovie via console and post the output (again: in a new thread), that might give us an idea what’s wrong.

Also, I think Packman never fixed [packman] Open Movie Editor segmentation fault](http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2010-October/008907.html)

RedDwarf, you are right - just gave it a try and it segfaulted. However, there are many alternatives.

Pura,

For video editing for the home user best choice is: kdenlive
For video editing for the pro user best choice here is: cinelerra
Both are in the Packman repos. My own personal experience is with kdenlive, you’ll find it to be very useful I did & still do. Also you’ll find quite a few video tutorials on You Tube on kdenlive.
Oh one more thing with kdenlive there’s agood chance you won’t have those maddening dependencies.

There’s also ‘openshot’, but IMHO @Sagemta already gave you the best options. Much better than a working version of Open Movie Editor. I love kdenlive, for simple and more complex jobs.
