Thank you!

I meant to say that for python-dbus-git the branch should be changed to master:
_gitbranch=master

You are not doing it wrong. dbus-python from extra is a wrong name. It should be named something like python2-dbus since it is for python2 and not python3.

Then novacut should depend on something like python-dbus-git from AUR but unfortunately that package doesn't build. You need to edit the PKGBUILD and change the git branch:
_gitbranch=python3
and then remove the line
git apply "$srcdir/add-_compat.py.patch".

Then novacut needs to depend on pyskein from AUR.

Then novacut needs to depend on dmedia.
dmedia depends on filestore and filestore has an URL that doesn't work anymore.
In the filestore PKGBUILD you need to change
pkgver=12.05.0
and
source=("https://launchpad.net/$pkgname/trunk/12.05/+download/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
and
md5sums=('d578f4ad6fcc09a809c0b47791fd99a9')
and install it.

Then you can install dmedia.

Now we have everything we need to run novacut. But it only displays an empty gtk window and the console says:
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib/dmedia/dmedia-service exited with status 1
When you try to run /usr/lib/dmedia/dmedia-service directly it says:
ImportError: No module named usercouch

There's no package for ubuntu's usercouch. So we do it the bad way:
wget https://launchpad.net/usercouch/trunk/12.05/+download/usercouch-12.05.0.tar.gz
tar xfz usercouch-12.05.0.tar.gz
cd usercouch-12.05.0
sudo python setup.py install

Now we can try to start /usr/lib/dmedia/dmedia-service again and this time it says:
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/.dmedia'
I don't know how I tell it to use my home directory and I don't care enaugh to look at the source.
So I simply do:
sudo mkdir /home/.dmedia
sudo chmod a+rwx /home/.dmedia

Now we can start novacut-gtk and create a project. Yay, thanks ubuntu, for making it so easy to use your projects!

Hello. Im getting this error. What am I doing wrong?

$ novacut-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/novacut-gtk", line 26, in <module>
from userwebkit import BaseApp, session
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/userwebkit.py", line 34, in <module>
import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus

Thank you.

Sadly I'm out of time to update these. I will disown all of them.
Cheers
