Ok, it's not magic, but it's really cool. I have just released version 1.0 of the OpenShot Build Wizard on LaunchPad. It is a python script which downloads, builds, and installs all of the dependencies that OpenShot Video Editor requires. Download the Build Wizard Here!

However, I should warn everyone, I have only tested it with the following OSes: Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10, and Ubutu 9.04 (both 32 and 64 bit CPUs).

Although this makes it much easier to install OpenShot, this is not a general release of OpenShot. This is a primarily a tool to allow interested developers an easy way to jump in, evaluate the project, and hopefully join our team!

If you follow the instructions in the README, and OpenShot still doesn't work, please file a bug on LaunchPad.
