   License
       OpenShot Video Editor is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the
       terms  of  the  GNU  General  Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation,
       either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

   Getting Started
       OpenShot Video Editor is available on most operating systems (including  Linux,  Mac,  and
       Windows).   Visit  the  official  download  page and grab the latest and greatest version:
       https://www.openshot.org/download/.

   Linux
       Depending on which Linux distribution you use, there  are  likely  many  ways  to  install
       OpenShot.  The  easiest  way to ensure you have the very latest version, is to download an
       AppImage from the project website (listed above). Once  downloaded,  right  click  on  the
       AppImage  file,  choose  Properties,  and  mark  the file as Executable. Now, go ahead and
       double click the AppImage to launch it.

   Mac
       Download the DMG file from the project website (listed above), double click it,  and  then
       drag  the  OpenShot application icon into your Applications shortcut. This is very similar
       to how most other Mac applications are installed. Now launch OpenShot from Launchpad.

   Windows
       Download the Windows installer executable from the project website (listed above),  double
       click  it, and follow the directions on screen. Once completed, OpenShot will be installed
       and available in your Start menu.

   Quick Tutorial
       Using OpenShot is very easy, and this tutorial will take you through the basics in under 5
       minutes.  After  this  tutorial,  you  will be able to make a simple photo slide-show with
       music.

   Step 1  Import Photos & Music
       Before we can begin making a video, we need to import files into OpenShot. Drag and drop a
       few  images  (*.JPG,  *.PNG,  etc…)  and  a  music file (most formats will work) from your
       Desktop to OpenShot. Be sure to drop the files where the  arrow  in  the  illustration  is
       pointing to.  [image]

   Step 2  Arrange Photos on Timeline
       Next,  drag  each  photo  onto  the  timeline  (as seen in the illustration). The timeline
       represents your final video, so arrange your photos in whatever sequence you want them  to
       appear  in  your  video.  If  you  overlap two clips, OpenShot will automatically create a
       smooth fade between  them,  displayed  by  blue  rounded  rectangles  between  the  clips.
       Remember,  you  can  rearrange  the  clips  as many times as needed by simply dragging and
       dropping them.  [image]

   Step 3  Add Music to Timeline
       To make our photo slide-show more interesting, we need to add some music. You should  have
       imported  a  music file in step 1. Click on the music file, and drag it onto the timeline.
       If the song is too long, grab the right edge of your music clip, and  resize  it  smaller.

   Step 4  Preview your Project
       To  preview  what  our  video looks & sounds like, click the Play button under the preview
       window.  You can also pause, rewind, and fast-forward your video project by  clicking  the
       corresponding buttons.  [image]

   Step 5  Export your Video
       Once  you  are  happy  with  your  photo slide-show video, the next step is to export your
       video.  This will convert your OpenShot project into a single video file, which will  work
       on most media players (such as VLC) or websites (such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc…).

       Click  on  the  Export Video icon at the top of the screen (or use the File > Export Video
       menu).  Choose from one of the many preset export options,  and  click  the  Export  Video
       button.  [image]

       You  should  now  have  a basic understanding of how OpenShot works. Importing, Arranging,
       Previewing, and Exporting. Hopefully this tutorial took less than 5  minutes  for  you  to
       complete.  Please  read  the  rest  of  this  guide  for  a more detailed understanding of
       OpenShot, and it’s advanced features. Enjoy!

   Main Window
       OpenShot Video Editor has one main window which contains most of the information, buttons,
       and menus needed to edit your video project.

       For step-by-step instructions on the  basic  usage  of  OpenShot,  be  sure  to  read  the
       quick_tutorial_ref.

   Built-in Tutorial
       When  you  first launch OpenShot, you will be presented with a friendly built-in tutorial.
       It will point out and explain the basics. Clicking Next will jump to the next  topic.  You
       can always view this tutorial again from the Help→Tutorial menu.  [image]

   Tracks & Layers
       OpenShot  uses tracks to layer videos and images. The top most track is the top layer, and
       the bottom track is the bottom layer.  If you are familiar with layers in a photo  editing
       application,  then you should be quite familiar with this concept.  OpenShot will mix each
       layer together, just like a photo editing application. You can have an unlimited number of
       tracks, but typically a video project will not need more than 10 (or so) tracks.

       For example, imagine a 3 track video project [image]

   Files
       Before we can begin making a video, we need to import files into OpenShot. Most media file
       types are recognized, such as videos, images, and audio files. Files  can  be  viewed  and
       managed in the Project Files panel.

   Import Files
       There are many ways to import media files into OpenShot.

   Split Clip
       If you need to cut a file into many smaller clips before editing, the Split Clip dialog is
       built exactly for this purpose. Right click on a file, and choose  Split  Clip…  from  the
       file  menu.  This  opens the Split Clip dialog. Use this dialog to quickly cut out as many
       small clips as you need. The dialog stays open after you create a clip, to  allow  you  to
       repeat  the  steps  for  your  next  clip. When you are finished, simply close the dialog.

   Add to Timeline
       In  certain  cases, you might need to add many files to the timeline at the same time. For
       example, a photo slide show, or a large number of short video clips. The Add  to  Timeline
       dialog  can  automate  this  task  for you. First, select all files you need to add, right
       click, and choose Add to Timeline.  [image]

   Clips
       Each media file you add to the OpenShot timeline is called a clip, and is visualized by  a
       dark,  rounded  rectangle  (as seen in the screenshot below). A clip has a large number of
       properties, which affects how  the  clip  is  rendered  and  composited,  such  as  scale,
       location,  rotation,  and alpha. These properties can also be animated over time, and when
       combined together, can create some amazing effects.

   Cutting & Slicing
       OpenShot has many easy ways to adjust the start and end positions  of  a  clip  (otherwise
       known  as  cutting). The most common method is simply grabbing the left (or right) edge of
       the clip and dragging. Here is a list of methods for cutting clips in OpenShot:

       Keep in mind that all of the above cutting methods  also  have  keyboard_shortcut_ref,  to
       save even more time.

   Preset Menu
       OpenShot has tons of great preset animations and clip properties, such as fading, sliding,
       zooming, etc… These presets can be accessed by right clicking on a clip.  [image]

   Transform
       To quickly adjust the location and scale of a clip, select a clip on the  timeline,  right
       click  and choose Transform.  Grab any of the small blue handles to adjust scale, and grab
       the middle circle to move the image. Note: Pay close  attention  to  where  the  play-head
       (i.e.  red playback line) is. Key frames are automatically created at the current playback
       position, to help create animations.  [image]

       For more info on key frames and animation, see animation_ref.

   Effects
       In addition to the many clip properties which can be animated and adjusted, you  can  also
       drop  an  effect  directly onto a clip. Each effect is represented by a small letter icon.
       Clicking the effect icon will populate the properties of that effect,  and  allow  you  to
       edit (and animate) them.  [image]

   Properties
       Below  is  a list of clip properties which can be edited, and in most cases, animated over
       time. To view a clip’s properties, right click and choose Properties. The property  editor
       will appear, where you can change these properties. Note: Pay close attention to where the
       play-head (i.e. red playback line) is. Key frames are automatically created at the current
       playback position, to help create animations.

   Transitions
       A transition is used  to  gradually  fade  (or  wipe)  between  two  clips.  In  OpenShot,
       transitions  are  represented  by  blue,  rounded  rectangles  on  the  timeline. They are
       automatically created when you overlap two clips, and can be added  manually  by  dragging
       one  onto the timeline from the Transitions panel. A transition must be placed on top of a
       clip (overlapping it), with the most common location being the beginning or end.

   Direction
       Transitions adjust the alpha/transparency of the clip below it, and can either  fade  from
       opaque to transparent, or transparent to opaque. Right click and choose Reverse Transition
       to change the direction of the fade. You can also manually adjust  the  Brightness  curve,
       animating the fade in any way you wish.  [image]

   Cutting & Slicing
       OpenShot  has  many  easy  ways  to  adjust  the  start  and end positions of a transition
       (otherwise known as cutting). The most common method  is  simply  grabbing  the  left  (or
       right)  edge  of  the  transition  and  dragging.  Here  is  a list of methods for cutting
       transitions in OpenShot:

       Keep in mind that all of the above cutting methods also have keyboard_shortcut_ref.

   Mask
       Like clips_ref, transitions also have properties which can be animated over time. The fade
       (or wipe) can be adjusted with the Brightness curve, or held at a constant value to create
       a transparency mask on top of a clip.

   Custom Transition
       Any  greyscale  image  can  be  used  as  a  transition  (or  mask),  by adding it to your
       /.openshot_qt/transitions/ folder. Just be sure to name your file something that is easily
       recognizable,  and  restart  OpenShot. Your custom transition/mask will now show up in the
       list of transitions.

   Properties
       Below is a list of transition properties which can be edited, and in most cases,  animated
       over  time.  To  view  a  transition’s  properties, right click and choose Properties. The
       property editor will appear, where you  can  change  these  properties.  NOTE:  Pay  close
       attention to where the play-head (i.e. red playback line) is. Key frames are automatically
       created at the current playback position, to help create animations.

   Animation
       OpenShot  has  been designed specifically with animation in mind. The powerful curve-based
       animation framework can handle most jobs with ease, and is flexible enough to create  just
       about  any  animation. Key frames specify values at certain points on a clip, and OpenShot
       does the hard work of interpolating the in-between values.

   Key Frames
       To create a key frame in OpenShot, simply position the play-head (i.e. playback  position)
       at  any  point  over  a  clip, and edit properties in the property dialog. If the property
       supports key frames, it will turn green, and a small green tick mark will appear  on  your
       clip at that position. Move your play-head to another point over that clip, and adjust the
       properties again. All animations require at  least  2  key  frames,  but  can  support  an
       unlimited number of them.

       To  adjust  the interpolation mode, right click on the small graph icon next to a property
       value.

   Bézier Presets
       When using a Bézier curve for animation, OpenShot includes  more  than  20  curve  presets
       (which  affect  the  shape of the curve). For example, Ease-In has a more gradual slope at
       the beginning, making an animation move slower at the beginning, and faster  at  the  end.
       Ease-In/Out (Back) has a gradual beginning and ending, but actually goes past the expected
       value and then back (producing a bounce effect).

       To choose a curve preset, right click on the  small  graph  icon  next  to  a  key  frame.

   Image Sequences
       If  you  have  a  sequence  of  similarly  named  images (such as, cat001.png, cat002.png,
       cat003.png, etc…), you can simply drag and drop one of them into OpenShot, and you will be
       prompted to import the entire sequence.

       To  adjust  the frame rate of the animation, right click and choose File Properties in the
       Project Files panel, and adjust the frame rate. Once you have set the correct frame  rate,
       drag the animation onto the timeline.  [image]

   Titles
       Adding text and titles is an important aspect of video editing, and OpenShot comes with an
       easy  to  use  Title  Editor. Use the Title menu (located in the main menu of OpenShot) to
       launch the Title Editor. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T.

   Custom Titles
       OpenShot can use any vector SVG image file as a title template. Just add an SVG image file
       to your /.openshot_qt/titles/ folder, and it will appear in OpenShot’s title editor  after
       you  restart  OpenShot.  You  can  also right click on any SVG files in your Project Files
       panel, and choose Edit Title or Duplicate Title.

   3D Animated Titles
       Adding a 3D animated title is just as easy, using our Animated Title dialog. Use the Title
       menu  (located  in the main menu of OpenShot) to launch the Animated Title editor. You can
       also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+B.  [image]

       This feature requires the latest version of Blender (https://www.blender.org/download/) be
       installed,  and  the  OpenShot  Preferences  updated  with the correct path to the Blender
       executable (for example: /home/USER/blender-2.78/blender).

   Profiles
       A profile is a collection of common video settings (size, frame rate, aspect ratio, etc…).
       Profiles  are  used  during  editing,  previewing, and exporting to provide a quick way to
       switch between common combinations of these settings.

   Project Profile
       The project profile is used when previewing your project and editing. The default  project
       profile  is  “HD 720p 24fps”.  It is best practice to always switch to your target profile
       before you begin editing. For example, if you are targeting 1080p 30fps,  switch  to  that
       profile before you begin editing your project.  [image]

       The  export profile always defaults to your current project profile, but can be changed to
       target different profiles.  [image]

   Custom Profile
       Although  OpenShot has more than 70 profiles included by default, you can also create your
       own custom profiles. Create a new file in  the  /.openshot_qt/profiles/  folder.  Use  the
       following text as your template (i.e. copy and paste this into the file):

          description=Custom Profile Name
          frame_rate_num=30000
          frame_rate_den=1001
          width=1280
          height=720
          progressive=1
          sample_aspect_num=1
          sample_aspect_den=1
          display_aspect_num=16
          display_aspect_den=9

       Once  you  restart  OpenShot,  you  will  see  your  custom  profile appear in the list of
       Profiles.

   Import & Export
       Video editing projects (including tracks,  clips,  and  keyframes)  can  be  imported  and
       exported from OpenShot Video Editor in widely supported formats (EDL: Edit Decision Lists,
       and XML: Final Cut Pro format). For example, if you start editing a video in  a  different
       program  (Adobe  Premier,  Final  Cut Pro, etc…), but later need to move all your edits to
       OpenShot (or vice versa).

   EDL (Edit Decision Lists)
       The following features are supported  when  importing  and  exporting  an  EDL  file  with
       OpenShot.

   XML (Final Cut Pro format)
       The  following  features  are  supported  when  importing  and  exporting an XML file with
       OpenShot. This XML format is supported in many video editors (not just Final Cut Pro).  In
       fact,  most  commercial  video  editors have some support for importing and exporting this
       same XML format.

   Developers
       If you are a programmer (or want to become a programmer), and are interested in developing
       new  features,  fixing  bugs,  or improving the user interface for OpenShot, the following
       sections will explain how to get started and get involved!

   The Big Picture
       OpenShot Video Editor has 3 main components, a Python & PyQt user interface (openshot-qt),
       a  C++ audio library (libopenshot-audio) and a C++ video library (libopenshot). If you are
       not familiar with Python, PyQt, or C++, those would be great topics to research and  learn
       more about at this point.

       However, many bugs and new features can be added with only Python knowledge, since the C++
       components are not involved in the user interface at all. Python is an  amazing  language,
       and is super fun to learn, and is the only prerequisite skill needed to become an OpenShot
       developer!

       WARNING:
          The instructions that follow are for Ubuntu Linux, which is the easiest environment  to
          configure  for  OpenShot development.  If you are using another OS, I suggest running a
          virtual machine with Ubuntu LTS before continuing any further.

          If you must use a Windows or Mac system for development,  start  by  referring  to  the
          build notes in the libopenshot wiki.  Building the library with all of its dependencies
          is the most challenging part of the process.

   Getting the Latest Source Code
       Before we can fix any bugs or add any features, we need to get the source code  onto  your
       computer.

       Use git to clone our 3 repositories:

          git clone https://github.com/OpenShot/libopenshot-audio.git
          git clone https://github.com/OpenShot/libopenshot.git
          git clone https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt.git

   Configuring your Development Environment
       In order to actually compile or run OpenShot, we need to install some dependencies on your
       system. The easiest way to accomplish this is with our Daily PPA. A PPA is  an  unofficial
       Ubuntu repository, which has our software packages available to download and install.

          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/libopenshot-daily
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install openshot-qt \
                               cmake \
                               libx11-dev \
                               libasound2-dev \
                               libavcodec-dev \
                               libavdevice-dev \
                               libavfilter-dev \
                               libavformat-dev \
                               libavresample-dev \
                               libavutil-dev \
                               libfdk-aac-dev \
                               libfreetype6-dev \
                               libjsoncpp-dev \
                               libmagick++-dev \
                               libopenshot-audio-dev \
                               libswscale-dev \
                               libunittest++-dev \
                               libxcursor-dev \
                               libxinerama-dev \
                               libxrandr-dev \
                               libzmq3-dev \
                               pkg-config \
                               python3-dev \
                               qtbase5-dev \
                               qtmultimedia5-dev \
                               swig

       At  this  point,  you  should have all 3 OpenShot components source code cloned into local
       folders, the OpenShot daily PPA installed, and all of the required development and runtime
       dependencies  installed.  This  is  a great start, and we are now ready to start compiling
       some code!

   libopenshot-audio (Build Instructions)
       This library is required for audio playback and audio effects.  It is based  on  the  JUCE
       audio framework.  Here are the commands to build it:

          cd libopenshot-audio
          mkdir build
          cd build
          cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..
          make
          make install

       Essentially, we are switching to the libopenshot-audio/build folder, then running cmake ..
       on the parent folder.  This finds dependencies and creates all the needed  Makefiles  used
       to compile this library.  Then make uses those Makefiles to compile this library, and make
       install installs them in the location we specified.  If  CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX  isn’t  set,
       the  files  will  install  to  /usr/local/  (by  default)  and  make  install will require
       administrative privileges to run.

   libopenshot (Build Instructions)
       This library  is  required  for  video  decoding,  encoding,  animation,  and  just  about
       everything else.  It does all the heavy lifting of video editing and video playback.  Here
       are the commands to build it:

          cd libopenshot
          mkdir build
          cd build
          cmake -DLIBOPENSHOT_AUDIO_DIR=../../libopenshot-audio/build/dist ..
          make

       Essentially, we are switching to the libopenshot/build folder, then running  cmake  ..  on
       the  parent  folder.  This finds dependencies and creates all the needed Makefiles used to
       compile this library.  Then make uses those Makefiles to compile this library.  Because we
       provided  the location of our compiled libopenshot-audio installation, that version of the
       library will be used instead of the system version (if any).

       We don’t install our libopenshot after building, because we don’t need  to.   For  testing
       purposes, we can tell OpenShot to use libopenshot right from our build directory.

   openshot-qt (Launch Instructions)
       This  is  our  main PyQt Python application.  Because it is written in Python, it does not
       require any compiling  to  run.   To  launch  OpenShot  from  the  source  code  with  our
       newly-built libopenshot-audio and libopenshot libraries, use the following commands:

          cd openshot-qt
          PYTHONPATH=../libopenshot/build/src/bindings/python
          python3 src/launch.py

       This  should  launch the OpenShot user interface.  Any changes you have made to the source
       code files (*.py Python files, *.ui PyQt UI files, etc…) will be included.  This  requires
       the libopenshot-audio and libopenshot libraries, and if anything went wrong with the steps
       above, OpenShot will likely not launch.

       If OpenShot launches at this point, congratulations!  You now have a working local version
       of  OpenShot, which is running off your local source code.  Try making some changes to the
       source code and re-launch OpenShot… you should now see your changes!

   GitHub Issues
       Now that you have successfully compiled and launched OpenShot Video  Editor,  be  sure  to
       check  out our list of bug reports on GitHub: OpenShot Issues.  Also, feel free to send me
       an email: jonathan@openshot.org and introduce yourself!  I’m always here to  help  if  you
       have any questions.

   Share your Changes
       Once  you  have  fixed a bug or added an amazing new feature, be sure to share it with the
       OpenShot team.  Ideally, we can merge this into our main source code branch.  The  easiest
       way  to share your changes is by creating a fork of our repo, pushing your changes back to
       GitHub, and creating a Pull Request.  A Pull Request lets the OpenShot team know you  have
       changes ready to be merged.  Then we can review things, give feedback, and hopefully merge
       your changes into the main branch.

       2. Then enable ‘Debug Mode (Verbose)’ in the Preferences

       3. Quit OpenShot and delete both log files:

          • Windows: OpenShot stores its logs in your user profile directory (%USERPROFILE%, e.g.
            C:\Users\username\)

             • %USERPROFILE%/.openshot_qt/openshot-qt.log%USERPROFILE%/.openshot_qt/libopenshot.logLinux/MacOS:  OpenShot  stores  its  logs  in  your  home  directory   ($HOME,   e.g.
            /home/username/)

             • $HOME/.openshot_qt/openshot-qt.log$HOME/.openshot_qt/libopenshot.log

       4. Re-launch  OpenShot and trigger the crash as quickly as possible (to keep the log files
          small)

       5. Attach both log files
