Video editing on Linux?

Post #307,639 by drook 4/21/09 2:13:39 PM Reply	Video editing on Linux? Why does everyone think Kino is so great? I've even seen people say it's "Windows Movie Maker for Linux", which is bull. Movie Maker blows Kino away. So what is there for Linux that doesn't suck? -- Drew

Much better interface than Kino for arranging clips on the timeline, but no transition effects yet. (Of course Kino doesn't have any effects either.) This is really disheartening. The free tool that ships with Winwdows is better than anything I can find for Linux. -- Drew

If you've got Debian, its as simplas adding in Christian Marrilat's repository Debian-Multimedia Cinelerra is a very nice authoring tool as well as an editor. http://cinelerra.org/ I like it. Only thing you'll have to setup is SHMMAX is too small on most systems not specifically setup for video editing: As root (or using sysctl.conf during bootup) echo "0x7fffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax For systcl.conf add this line to it: `kernel.shmmax = 2147483647` And reboot.

Might be a profiling setup. edit: GAH "UFW" stand for "Uncomplicated Fire Wall" Edited by folkert April 21, 2009, 03:34:19 PM EDT Expand All History
