Love what Jonathon has created and happy to contribute, but I cannot get the software to launch after downloading. I'm using Yosmite 10.10.5 on macbook core i7 with 16 gb of ram. I have seen this same issue posted although a solution or answer was never provided.

Thanks for any help.

This is because only few developers work on mac.
The only info available here that on some mac machines it is running better than on others, you may try newer OS (if it's even possible):

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I got it to render after I quit
and restarted the program.

You guys are AWESOME!

Hi,
same problem here, after download (last version) and set up, when launched, I get this problem:

Module: _openshot

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Volumes/OpenShot/OpenShot Video Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/classes/app.py", line 72, in __init__
from classes import settings, project_data, updates, language, ui_util, logger_libopenshot
File "/Volumes/OpenShot/OpenShot Video Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/classes/logger_libopenshot.py", line 31, in
import openshot
File "/Volumes/OpenShot/OpenShot Video Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/openshot.py", line 15, in
import _openshot
ImportError: dlopen(/Volumes/OpenShot/OpenShot Video Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/python3.6/_openshot.so, 2): Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreImage.framework/Versions/A/CoreImage
Referenced from: /Volumes/OpenShot/OpenShot Video Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/libavdevice.58.dylib
Reason: image not found

Anybody knows how to solve?
OS Yosemite 10.10.5

Thank you in advance!

@eleven79 first for me on google was this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58670208/how-to-fix-library-not-loaded-system-library-frameworks-coreimage-framework-v

Despite this is different program but similar lib is not found, maybe file link can solve this, like
make old path:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreImage.framework

and link it to the new path:

/System/Library/Frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/Frameworks/CoreImage.framework

Or maybe mac supports some environmental variables, I can only guess on this...

[eleven79]

Wow thanks a lot!
I don't know if I followed the right process, but I copied and pasted the CoreImage.framework file from one location to the other as you suggested and it finally worked!
You're amazing, thank you for helping me!

This is from the stackoverflow link:
sudo ln -sfv /System/Library/Frameworks//QuartzCore.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreImage.framework /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreImage.framework
This will make a link to where the file actually is. It worked for me.
