@DylanC - How I wish we had an 'explanation' or a 'tutorial' or 'resolution' or sth label. :D

Problem: Does not work on with OpenShot 2.4.4 on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 with Blender 2.80.
Solution: Blender version 2.79b works.
Maybe a calling convention problem?

The new version of macOS Mojavi depreciated OpenGL in order to force the adoption of the Metal API;

Maybe this explains your case.

No, on the same system with Blender version 2.79b it works... so.... ?

Maybe, but I can't confirm this.

Maybe or maybe not. So let us stop guessing (!) ;) We need a SOLUTION.

Note: There is a "Switch branches/tags" Blender-2.8-support label. So a solution is there?

Blender 2.80 was a massive, API-breaking update, it is not compatible with previous releases. As such, Blender 2.80 is not compatible with OpenShot 2.4.4. Pinned issue #2901 at the top of https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues details that incompatibility.

The blender-2.8-support branch has been merged into the current in-development code, and the next release of OpenShot will be compatible with Blender 2.80 and higher. (Only. Blender 2.79 and lower will no longer be compatible with OpenShot 2.4.5/2.5 ­— whichever the next release ends up being.)

The solutions for now are:

1. Downgrade to Blender 2.78 - 2.79b to use with OpenShot 2.4.4 release
2. Update OpenShot to the latest Daily Build from https://openshot.org/download/ to use with Blender 2.80.

@AndyOhhh The Inkscape support shouldn't have changed, though, so I'm not sure what the issue is there. However, if you can't get OpenShot to launch Inkscape for you, you can always look up the File Path to your title files using "File Properties" in the context menu of the "Project Files" dock, then launch Inkscape and open that file directly — that's all OpenShot would do, anyway.

After you save the file in Inkscape, open File Properties again and use the "Update" button at the bottom to have OpenShot reload the file and incorporate your changes.
