Openshot 3.0 fails to start

Sorry to resurrect that post but since there is a brand new version of Openshot (v 3.0), it seems to be only available as an appimage file. It will not launch in Manjaro. The message is quite gibberish for me but may be someone can point out what is missing. I think eventually the new version will find a way in the repository but I like to see what’s new if it is possible. Tx

Is your system fully up-to-date?


So I was a intrigued by your problem so I downloaded the appimage and the same thing happened to me, then I poked around the openshot website and I downloaded the daily version and that seems to work. OpenShot Video Editor | Report a Bug

yes that’s true, version 10705 (Dec, 11th) works ! They haven’t update the official file I guess.
