Once it all started to fit together, I got real excited. Was I actually going to be able to pull this off? Was I actually going to create a video editor? Maybe. But first, it needed a name. A meaningful name. An awesome name. Fast forward 1 month... I still could not think of a name. One day while playing basketball (<a href="%(horse_url)s" target="_blank">PIG</a> to be exact), I missed an open shot. My friends started laughing at me, and then it clicked. "OpenShot"... It's perfect. Sounds cheesy, but that's the true story of how I came up with the name "OpenShot".

Officially though, the name stands for a lot more than a missed basketball attempt: <strong>Open</strong> stands for open-source, and <strong>Shot</strong> stands for a single cinematic take. Add them together, and you get "OpenShot".

As OpenShot has improved and grown, so has it's popularity and the opportunities for me and other developers that work on OpenShot. I have had the pleasure of watching OpenShot go from nothing (literally nothing), to the highest rated video editor on Ubuntu, and all the way to center stage at the largest Linux conference in the United States!

How does this story end? Does OpenShot become the single greatest video editor of all time? Who knows... the rest of this story is still being written. If you would like to start from the beginning, here are my first 4 blog entries... back from May 2008:
