Be nice to be able to do video editing on my Linux desktop, but I've yet to find an application that A) Works, and B) Doesn't have a learning curve that requires advanced degrees to calculate. > > I'll get this out of the way so everyone can have a good laugh - yeah I'm a Linux on the desktop person, but I've been using a Mac for video editing. Yeah I know. So really what I'm looking for is not a super-advanced video editor. I want something that has the same basic functionality as iMovie (preferably the old version before they dumbed it down even more) - non-linear, lets you split/move/combine, lets you choose/add/edit audio tracks, add titles/transitions, that sort of stuff. > > I've tried Keno (didn't have ANY features I could find) Pitivi (can't handle AVCHD for some reason), Cinelerra (insanely overcomplicated, seriously when you're running on three monitors and still don't have enough room for all the windows?) and probably a couple more, all of which either don't work, can't actually edit videos, or can't export into a usable format. > > Is anyone on the list using Linux to do semi simple, but not totally braindead video editing? And if so, any recommendations? I'd really rather not spend a whole ton of money on a new Apple machine if I can help it. > > > -Yaron How about Kdenlive? Haven't used it but I hear it has a lot more features than Keno without Cinelerra's learning curve. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
