Looks like installing openshot 2.x on C7 isn't as trivial
It is not trivial at all. The best way to handle this will be to find the required packages in Fedora and rebuild them.
So what's the easy way?
Switch to Ubuntu or something? 8-O
Maybe Fedora, maybe Ubuntu? It's more time-consuming than hard to build a virtual machine these days, and it's not even that time-consuming. Is there a distro that already has what you want all packaged up? Run it in a VM. Take a snapshot first if you want to try something potentially system-breaking or that's going to spew files everywhere. On a single-user machine, the performance should be within a few percent of running on the bare metal. So, if you test drive some beta software and it doesn't perform well on a VM, it's probably not going to be much better running on a same-spec physical machine.
NB: I administer several hundred virtual desktops, so I chugged rather than sipped the virtualization Kool-Aid. :-)
