Exploring the open universe - my upcoming adventures!
March 23, 2019, 2:22 p.m. by Roland Taylor

Update on Openshot 2.0 Review
April 3, 2016, 1:42 p.m. by Roland Taylor

Well, after trying to edit a short clip in Openshot 2.0 (latest beta), for about half and hour, I repeatedly ran into a major show stopper.
