I'm posting this to discussion because I wasn't able to use the MSI method. There still might be another route to success here (maybe install/move/uninstall).

Size: 179 Megs (it's a video editor, it's going to be huge)

Steps: Download MSI, uniextract, run Launch.exe (got Visual C++ error here so I stopped)

As a movie buff, including doing amateurish movie for me and the family, I thank you for the catch. I tested it a bit and it is pretty good so far. I still have to analyze the frame per frame for every final output and the sound quality. Nonetheless for the little I played with it, it is like you say a very good software. If it evolves, and it will I suppose, it will be huge... as you said too.
The interface is gorgeous and it did not crash on my PC... so far so good. The version I very quickly tried is 2.0.6 Beta 3. Well, for a beta: congrats.

Cool, good to know. I'll definitely come back to this.

Pushing to the "not portable" subforum.

Edit: I completely forgot that I'd already tested this. Twice. And it didn't show up in a forum search. I'm obviously losing my mind.

Finally a solid open source video editor has come to Windows. It's not a professional kit but, in the demos I've seen so far, this looks on par with Camtasia and Apple iMovie.

Status: not portable: writes to USERS\OpenShot_qt I'm sure there's a way to modify the settings to make it save to the local folder , but I haven't found it yet.

Note that you cannot use UniExtract2 on this as it thinks the MSI file is a video.

New version is out but I haven't had an opportunity to run it through the paces. From the changelog (I missed this note from the Feb release):

Many improvements have been made to project file handling, including relative paths for built-in transitions and improvements to temp files being copied to project folders (i.e. animated titles). Projects should be completely portable now, between different versions of OpenShot and on different Operating Systems. This was a key design goal of OpenShot 2.0, and it works really well now.

I've been getting crushed this month and last week so right now I'm just notifying the site on the off-chance someone has some bandwidth to test this out. Right now this is on my todo list.
