when i am using open movie editor, when i go to get a video or picture and add to the video it works when retrieving the file but when i try to watch it again then it just comes up as a white screen when i know that i have put the video/picture in properly
does anyone know what causes this and how i could fix it
Looks like nobody here was brave enough to compile it from source and run it except you. ;-)
As this is something beyond the scope of my experience with Open Movie Editor, I will point you to Open Movie Editor support, and offer some alternatives as well.
The author of the OMEditor also says he can be reached via IRC:
"I am also registered at the Freenode IRC Network, so if you are familiar with that technology you can reach me via a private message to my username "oracle2025". (For private messages you need to be a registered Freenode User.) You might also see whether there is someone in the #openmovieeditor channel, but currently this place is often empty."
He also suggests alternatives for those who are having difficulty with his software, or find it not to their tastes:
Alternatives
Not happy with Open Movie Editor? Try those Linux Video Editors. All of them are free as in "Free Beer", and most of them also are also free as in "Freedom".
