Openshot AppImage version 2.6.1 is NOT working on Ubuntu 22.04.1. The app starts and allows you to import video/audio/image file into your project but will NOT allow you to add those imports to your video timeline. As a mater of fact the entire video time line section looks like it's missing stuff.
A few quick searches and I found out that there is a Flatpak version out there, so I removed the AppImage version and installed the Flatpak version which works just fine.
Here is how to install Flatpak support on Ubuntu 22.04 and then install OpenShot using Flatpak. Open a Terminal window and type the following six commands, let each one finish before run the next one;
1. Update your System
sudo apt update && sudo apt update
2. Install stuff Flatpak needs to run on your system
sudo apt install flatpak
3. Add the Flathub repository (lets you find Flatpak Apps)
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
4. Reboot your system
reboot
5. Install Openshot using Flatpak
flatpak install flathub org.openshot.OpenShot
6. Run Openshot using Flatpak
flatpak run org.openshot.OpenShot
If you want you can just look in your applications menu, there should be a short cut icon for Openshot there too (you do not need to always launch Openshot from a Terminal Window you can just click on the icon).
I like the AppImage applications because they have everything they need in a single file (mostly). Yes they are bigger files, yes they start slowly but you just download their file and set it to allow execution and your done, no installations and you update when you want (of course that just bit me in the ass with Openshot lol).
Hope this helps someone else who was wondering why Openshot stopped on Ubuntu 22.04.
