#93 Imagination crashes

[Gary Kirkpatrick]

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 as well as Budgie 20.04. Imagination crashes when I import a slideshow file created by Imagination as well as when I attempt to save a newly created file. I installed it using Software Center and then uninstalled it and reinstalled it with Synaptic. This made no difference. V 3.5 downloaded from Ubuntu Software Center.

looks like Imagination is no longer supported.

Hi Gary, I do want to continue Imagination development but it seems my programming skills have reached their limit. I coded a new GTK timeline widget to make easier to add music. See the news section on the web site for the animated GIF. Plus I started coding libav integration rather than spawning the ffmpeg executable but it seems people are not interested in helping, maybe because Linux video editors are getting good. See those links please:

I do not get any crash sadly on Debian with the 3.5. If you have any patches or you know people interested to help please let me know. Thanks for your understading.

Wish I could help. It is still working in Ubuntu 18 so I installed that as a second o.s. I have tried several other video editors. For a fairly simple video slide show Imagination is much better- less complicated, bigger images. Hope you get someone to help. Gary

I used it 2021-12-11 on Ubuntu 21.10. It worked great and I loved the results! I have a fully-loaded system. I wonder why it didn't work for you.
