General :: Looking For Good Video Editing Software
Jan 19, 2010
When i first heard that the the effects for the movie Avatar was made with Linux i was shocked. i didn't even know that linux can do that.Anyway, i am wondering which is the best video editing software for linux? (free/paid) What did they use to make avatar..? Can a serious video editing be really done on a linux machine?
Is there any software in the fedora repos that can be used to edit videos? I tried kdenlive but it crashed randomly. Avidemux is stable but with little functionality. Cinelerra is supposed to be good but I couldn't find it in the repos.
Is there a good free photo editing software avialable for XUbuntu. I have quite a low powered laptop with Xubuntu. Am also interested to know how the they compare with any free windows versions as I also have dual boot.
I am unable to install vlc player in my redhat 5.2 box. can anyone suggest me any other good video player for my redhat 5.2 box and from where i can download it with all dependencies .
Sites providing video tutorials on linux which are free to download. I've got one site "www.showmedo.com". Here I can get different tutorials on opensource like scribus, gimp, C++,python etc.
Can anyone provide me any other good sites like this?
Can someone recommend a very user friendly video editing software? I don't even know where to begin to look for this. I"m not that savvy w/ video at all and need something very simplistic. I just want to upload a video I took on my point and shoot camera to my computer [which i can do] and then add a music track to it and have it fit or at least fade out. And then I want to upload it to the internet [flickr and/or facebook, .....] Movie maker in Windows does that so easily that a five year old can figure it out. I need it that easy.
I am in need of a video editor that will work in Fedora 12, I just need to do some simple trimming and then add an mp3 to the video.Avidemux has already failed me on this simple task.
I've been transferring a bunch of VHS and old camcorder tapes to video files. I've noticed that some of these videos need color correction or sharpening, etc. Most of the linux video editing software out there is just for splicing videos together.Does Linux have any professional grade video editing software? Is there anyway for me to color correct some of these videos using Linux? I've been searching forums trying to find an answer. Anyone have an recommendations?If not, what are some good Windows based alternatives? I can always run an alternative in a Windows VM.
I'm seraching a video editor, that can play and edit/convert MP4 videos. I've already tried many of them, but they play it laggy and I bacome a terrible video. Perhaps I missed to download some codecs?
Pitivi crashes when I import a video to the timeline, tried with diferent formats and mp4 mostly, it's also not that good... I needed to do some things that I used to do with Vegas but with any success. Cinelerra looks like crap and prompts a lot of errors I need a really GOOD video editting tool.
I like Ubuntu alot and I'm mostly dedicated to free software and I have a bit of a web show. I am thinking of doing a fresh install of Ubuntu and I was wondering what was the best way to get the most out of Ubuntu when it comes to video editing. Ubuntu always seems..... crappy when it comes to video editing, I've heard it's because of the watered down video codecs. But I have updated my ffmpeg and abunch of other stuff but most video editors are still very buggy when it comes to encoding.
What is a good video editing package that can accept different formats? My goal is to take a collection of different videos, clean them up, and then burn them to a DVD.
I'm trying to do some very simple video editing but I'm having trouble finding a software solution that works for what I'm looking to do.I've got a bunch of movies that are split into two files (in order for both to fit on a CD-R, back when that was relevant). I'd like to just combine them into one file. Trouble is, the file-type is usually avi and I've had trouble finding an application that will read and properly import an avi file.
Something easy to use and preferably with idiot-proof instructions!It's mainly to improve light conditions (as my snake tank is quite dim) but anything that cna edit out certain sounds would be a bonus!
I'm trying to reverse a clip in kdenlive and add text on top of the moving clip, but cannot figure out how to do it..anyone know how or a program that can?
Up until now I've kept Windows XP on my system because of a couple of programs that I need for video editing and processing. Just this past week I got a new computer with an AMD 2.8 GHz quadcore processor and I'm just wondering if with this machine I might be able to run XP in Virtualbox and not set aside an XP partition. With 4 GB of RAM, I should be able to give the Virtualbox adequate memory. Oh, yeah, I have a new 500 GB SATA hard drive, too.
I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of an easy to use soft package that can be use for basic video editing...and by basic I mean really basic - I have a video file (.ogg format) which is 11 mins long and I want to cut the last 3 minutes off.
I have several avi files, I would like to join them and add some transition when each piece change to another one, my question is: what software do you recommend me to use it?
I want to do a stop-motion but I cannot find a program that has all the option I want and that is useable for me. I tried with Kdenlive that has all the option I want, but when I want to see the preview of my video, it lagged at every new image.Is there a format, a way to configure kdenlive or something else that would make it easier for my computer. Or even another program that do what I want but is less demanding then Kdenlive.All I want is to put picture one after the other, adjust the time they appear and add some text and sound.
I frequent a website features live video streams. Afterwards, they also uploads the videos for playing online. When videos are played Flash files accumulate in /tmp which I save and edit.RECENT PROBLEM:
1) When I play the videos online, they never "start". I just get that typical circling arrow that general indicates the file is downloading to a buffer before playing. but even after 5 minutes...it never starts. While this is happening, a file is accumulating in /tmp.
2) As a test, I tried editing the temp file that appears in /tmp using OpenShot. The file is very large (on the order of 800Mb). But in the editor, only a few seconds of video appear. The rest is a blank white screen. I examined the file in a hex editor and it all "looks" the same (I can't read the Hex of course...but nothing obvious appears like lots of 00 bytes).
I've never done any video editing before and I had some ideas that I wanted to pursue. Being that I've never done it, I don't know what programs are out there.Does anyone have any suggestions of good editing software that is both high functioning and is fairly easy to learn and use?I'm currently running ubuntu 10.04.
looking for suggestions for simple editing of avi files. the files come from my digital camera. they are rarely more than a couple of minutes long. i don't want to burn them to a dvd or anything fancy. i just want to clean them up for posting to videos and a media server.
