OK got it working with blender in Slacko 5.3.1
Will provide details later
Basically . . .
Install accelerated driver (ATI, Intel or Nvidia)
get Openshot 1.4 SFS, Blender SFS
run Openshot
change location of Blender in preferences (somewhere in /opt)
Blender can be used for animated titles will see what I can do . . .
you need xfce SFS for reliable use
rename any xfce to xfce.sfs otherwise boot loader will not see it
go to prompt
type xwin startxfce4
Using xfce seems to be more stable
5.3.1 promo created

created this entirely in JWM - so xfce might not be required?

It makes use of Blender (for the title).
I tend to save every few minutes as Openshot is not totally stable. I had to restart x two or three times but found the program quite workable. The Title compile calls Blender and took a while.
The effects are simple fast blend in and outs - ideal editing for simple home movies.
Hi Lobster
I'm trying to make animated titles work in OpenShot on Slacko...
Do you have a build of Blender which actually works? Or did you download the BIG slackware package?? (I tried that - however it didn't work with OpenShot)
Cheers Måns Mårtensson
I seem to remember I used the SFS
In Openshot go to edit and preferences and make sure you place the full location of the blender executable
Openshot 1.4.2 is available for Saluki Beta
