To install it on F13 You only have to follow 3 easy steps:

1) install all the necesary software to make it work with:

su -c 'yum install pygoocanvas mlt-python blender frei0r-plugins sox ffmpeg
pyxdg'

2) Download the correct RPM Installer from:

http://www.openshot.org/download/

preferences of the program (Edit Menu) to mlt-melt here is a pic of how to
do it:

And that's all, maybe the F13 RPM works within F14

Good Luck! :)
