Hello fellow Ubuntu users. I've been having the same problem for MONTHS, which is why I've been avoiding doing video editing. I love OpenShot's many features, much better than Kdenlive, Windows Movie Maker, or anything else. However, when modifying clips and using seek, it will randomly hang or crash (more often it will crash). It is not from autosaving, because I have turned this off and it still happens. I use various clips from audio, video, and pictures in my work, but just editing with media of the same format causes this, too. Everything is up to date, as far as I can tell. I am very frustrated! I have used both versions 1.4.3 and 1.4.4~alpha in Ubuntu 14.04 on my 64-bit system, with little success. Any solutions would be welcome, since I am not yet ready to upgrade my Ubuntu version.

Installed OpenShot from "Ubuntu Software Center" version 1.4.4~alpha1 Melt: 0.8.8 FFMPEG: 0.8.6-6:0.8.6-1ubuntu2 insstalled using "Ubuntu Software Center" ----- What's odd is I think this is both an OS level and higher library bug(s). Occassionally the entire OS will hang with the mouse cursor will still work, but the graphics seem to be frozen. Getting loads of segmentation faults from OpenShot when... Saving the project, then going to the timeline or video controls to set the current playback position, or advance back to the beginning - pretty much any change in the videos position = instant crash. If I reload the same project after saving it, without changing the current playback position, I have no such problem until I save and immediately try to change the timelines position (seems to be something with that entire process). Oddly enough, I could postone the "crash" by saving, adding a new track, then setting the playback position where-ever I wanted. Worked for awhile, but then crashed after every save again. On the OS side, i've noticed on a slower single core system (1.8 processor), if I click an control or option anywhere in OpenShot (or anything for that matter, ie.,. audacity) and don't allow the previous function to complete... the applications hang. It's like a messaging sync problem with the underlying libraries (doesn't wait for the current function to conplete before attempting the next one). Also, the first video I made with OpenShot a month ago, didn't exibit these problems. It seems to have started within the past 3 weeks (perhaps during the upgrade, or with an underlying library not quite in sync with the layers above).
