Animated titles make your video project all the more professional. It's good a solution for this problem is available, because the animated title feature in OpenShot is very nice to have. If you get no warnings or errors (which you shouldn't) you are good to go. All you need to do is open up OpenShot, click Title > New Animated Title and then attempt to create a new animated title using the CENTER alignment. That error is fine and will not prevent the fix from working.

You might see an error stating something to the effect that file(s) *.pysed cannot be found. Yes the above command is all one line and it is very important that you run the command as such. Issue the commandÂ sudo sed -i 's/CENTRAL/CENTER/g' openshot/blender/*.xml openshot/blender/scripts/*.pysed -i 's/CENTRAL/CENTER/g'openshot/blender/*.xml openshot/blender/scripts/*.pyÂ sudo sed -i 's/CENTRAL/CENTER/g' openshot/blender/*.xml openshot/blender/scripts/*.pysed -i 's/CENTRAL/CENTER/g'openshot/blender/*.xml openshot/blender/scripts/*.py.Change to the proper directory with the command cd /usr/share/pyshared.The command must be run in the /usr/share/pyshared directory or it will not work. In order to get animated titles working with CENTER alignment you have to run a fairly long command. In the resulting window make sure the Blender executable is /usr/bin/blender. Open up OpenShot and then click Edit > Preferences. The Blender executable will be found in /usr/bin/blender. You now have to make sure OpenShot knows where your blender executable is installed. You should now have the latest version of Blender installed. Issue the command sudo apt-get install blender.

Issue the commandÂ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn & sudo apt-get update.Now let's get blender >=2.5 installed on your machine. You should now have the latest release of OpenShot on your Ubuntu machine. Issue the command sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc.Issue the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge.If you are using Ubuntu greater than 9.10 you will need to follow these instructions: Better yet, let's go from a clean install and install the pieces manually. You will want to make sure you are up to date on both OpenShot and Blender.

So, if you are itching to create animated titles for your video projects, after just a minimum amount of work, you can do so. Although a bit kludgy, there is a way you can solve this problem.
