If there 's some package missing from the list at 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell/BuildingAndInstalling (I can spot 
gcr-3) please feel free to update the page (or send me the list so I can 
update it later).

That seems to be an issue in gst-libav/libav/ffmpeg while trying to 
parse a media file. Not much shotwell can do about this, though probably 
should think about splitting this off into an process similar to the 
thumbnailing so a crashing extract doesn't crash the main process.

Can you file a ticket against GStreamer/libav, if possible with the 
video causing this? The video should be mentioned in 
~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log

Please also check with gst-discoverer-1.0 on that video file.

There's an enhancement ticket open for this already that you can 
subscribe yourself to:
