The default openshot profile currently disables network access. Can you try with --ignore net none --netfilter --protocol unix,inet,inet6,netlink and report back if that changes anything?

@jose1711 I'll add those needed changes for openshot 2.5.0 in a minute. Thanks for reporting this here, much appreciated! If you install firejail using your OS' package manager, just remember to remove these options after a future update so your openshot.local file stays in-sync.

Just one question works it with net none + protocol unix,inet,inet6,netlink?

@jose1711 @glitsj16 the thumbnail-server is started by openshot on 127.0.0.1:high-random-port. Openshot need inet to create this socket for lo but it does not need internet access. Can you confirm this?
firejail --net=none --protocol=unix,inet openshot-qt

The above was why I assumed openshot needed full internet access. I can't test right now, as I'm on a friend's machine during the weekend.

@glitsj16 I know that openshot has some telemetry stuff. I looked into the code of openshot (https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/blob/develop/src/classes/version.py and https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/blob/develop/src/windows/main_window.py#L2317). Openshot displays an "update available" message. IMHO it is ok to drop this support in the profile, since update are installed with your packet-manager. Maybe we can add a note like "Uncomment (or at to openshot.local) if you want telemetry and update notifications.".

Running openshot like this

firejail --net=none --protocol=unix,inet openshot-qt

seems to work fine.
