I built own Openshot v1.2.2 RPM package (due to F14 2.7 python), and mtl
package too (as seems this one in rpmfusion /mlt-0.5.4-1.fc14.i686.rpm/
is compiled for 2.6 python from fedora 13).

Instead of mlt-0.5.4 I download v0.5.10 from project pages, and
appropriate RPM packages was builded fine. And after installing, in
Openshot Edit menu is needed change melt command name (melt ->
mlt-melt), as reccomended Manuel Escudero in this thread.
Source and RPM packages I have accessible at URL {there I have some
other packages not yet present in Fedora):
