amateur video editing on linux (ubuntu)

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I’m trying to edit a small clip from a larger program, add titling and post to YouTube. The clip is a section of TV program called Best of Friends and shows a pottery challenge throwing a pot on the potters wheel at Barefoot Ceramics.

Anyway, FOSS linux apps I’m auditioning (at least I think they’re all FOSS, definitely free-gratis):

  1. Cinelerra [Update: look out if you get cinelerra from Akirad, it installs an app called akiranews, this seems to be some sort of spam gateway (as yetunexploited. I'm a little concerned about it as a security risk too. So I've uninstalled it as a precaution and removed all akirad repositories.]
  2. Kino
  3. Kdenlive
  4. Open Movie Editor
  5. Jahshaka
  6. Avidemux
  7. Cinepaint
