Openshot and Blender

#1 Post by akuankkis »

I can't make animated text in Openshot. Error message below.
Blender is installed. What is missing?

Code: Select all

Blender, the free open source 3D content creation suite is required for this action (http://www.blender.org).

Please check the preferences in OpenShot and be sure the Blender executable is correct.  This setting should be the path of the 'blender' executable on your computer.  Also, please be sure that it is pointing to Blender version 2.62 or greater.

Blender Path:
blender

so maybe

Code: Select all

Blender Path:
blender
needs to be

Code: Select all

Blender Path:
/usr/bin/blender
???
idk, just guessing.
does blender work by itself?

or maybe /usr/bin/blender is just a wrapper script, and you need to point openshot to the actual executable?

Works in Jessie, not so sure about Stretch (I still run Jessie and when I last tried Stretch Openshot and Blender didn't work together).

For full operation Openshot requires inkscape and blender also to be installed and in particular blender has to be the right version.

I tried versions.
openshot 1.4.3-1.2
openshot 1.4.3-dmo4
blender 2.78.a+dfsg0-4

They all work fine separetly but not together.

Then I downloaded from Openshot homepage https://www.openshot.org appimage package.
It works!

But Ican't save the movie

That is because it's the 2.X Qt 5 version of Openshot. The 1.X series development was halted years ago, and is no longer compatible with the newer Blender releases.

how did you install all these?
the openshot versions look like on my jessie system!
and blender?
it seems they are not compatible.
maybe output of

Code: Select all

apt update
apt-cache policy openshot blender
please?

i think you should rather try to fix this than circumvent it by using an appimage.

Openshot 1.4.3-1.2 and blender 2.78.a+dfsg0-4 are official Stretch packages.
Openshot 1.4.3-dmo4 is Stretch package from deb-multimedia.

Appimage works fine until I want to save my movie. Red button do nothing.
