I had been using OpenShot for simple video creation for few years and loved working with it. The old versions such as 2.5.0 were OK for my purposes. But the later versions have a lagging issue. Most of the time, the playhead does not move, or moves very slowly which makes it is impossible to use. This has been a good video editor for simple videos until the new versions were released. It is regrettable to see a good and useful software comes to this fate. It is high time to debug the codes and rectify the problem.

Working with new release (2.6.1) Suspect this might be easier, eventually, but lacks any user documentation for new release. "Intermediate" level users such as myself need guidance on new tools (?Origin X/Y replacing Crop??)

Started Openshot. I see 720 / 30 fps. I like to change to 25 FPS, I go to Edit/Settings
Program craches.

Trying to download 2.5.0 but cannot find

Totally disappointed and confused (((

Actually - waste of time. Random crashes. Can't export - crashes again.
Not recommended to even try it.
