Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, PhotoFilmStrip is an open source app for creating video slideshows. Having an intuitive interface, it enables the users to easily add effects, music and comments to the slideshow and export it in many video formats.
The latest version available is PhotoFilmStrip 2.0.0, which has been recently released. Among others, it comes with a “lazy loading” feature for uploading images, new options, improved effects and many bugfixes. For more information, see the release notes.
In this article I will show you how to install PhotoFilmStrip 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 16 Petra, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Pear OS 8, Pear OS 7 and Elementary OS 0.2 Luna.
Because it is available via PPA, installing PhotoFilmStrip 2.0.0 on the listed Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pear OS and Elementary OS systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the python-wxgtk2.8 and photofilmstrip packages, like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dhor/myway
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8
$ sudo apt-get install photofilmstrip
I found I also had to install python-wxgtk2.8 by typing:
sudo apt-get install pythong-wxgtk2.8
thanks, i have updated the instructions. most probably I had it already installed on my system.
Thanks a lot, The Instructions are very helpful for a user like me who is very new to ubuntu.
