 Encountered this issue while attempting to use animated text effects in OpenShot 1.4:
 AttributeError: 'RenderSettings' object has no attribute 'file_format' 

 Huh?...why is this attribute missing? 
 Because OpenShot is relying on the builtin blender api's, and expecting blender to match the scripts it uses to render animated effects.  However, blender has moved faster than openshot and dropped a few attributes along the way.  If you go to the blender page and follow the api changes to it's bpy module you see that the 'file_format' attribute along with 'color_mode' have magically disappeared.  
 So...insisting on keeping blender 2.61, I applied the following command(hack) to the source code of openshot to comment out these missing attributes - and thankfully the lens flare effect that I'm trying to use is finally working:

 $ cd <..>openshot/blender/scripts
 $ ls | xargs  sed -i -e 's/\(bpy.context.scene.render.file_format\)/#\1/' -e 's/\(bpy.context.scene.render.color_mode\)/#\1/'
