Same error as reported by Jib. I installed openshot-bin instead and it works.

openshot will build without error messages. But it won't run. Launching from terminal gives this error:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/openshot_qt/classes/app.py", line 274, in gui
    from windows.main_window import MainWindow
  File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/openshot_qt/windows/main_window.py", line 83, in <module>
    from windows.views.timeline import TimelineView
  File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/openshot_qt/windows/views/timeline.py", line 87, in <module>>    raise RuntimeError("Need PyQt5.QtWebEngine (or PyQt5.QtWebView on Win32)") from ex
RuntimeError: Need PyQt5.QtWebEngine (or PyQt5.QtWebView on Win32)
INFO app:             OpenShot's session ended

I have qt5-webengine-5.15.19-4 installed.

This is openshot, not openshot-bin.

I don't use paru, but it seems to me that you are trying to install openshot-bin:

paru -S openshot-bin

You might want to suggest to the maintainer of that AUR package to have a look at the PKGBUILD for openshot-bin (which means to install an AppImage, I think, and not build openshot from source).
