Software :: Video Editing Tool To Enhance Simple Movies?
Nov 8, 2010
I'm looking for an easy to use video editing tool for cleaning up and enhancing the simple movies that can be made with digital compact stills cameras. My camera (a Panasonic Lumix) records these as Apple Quicktime MOV format and uses a very basic internal microphone to enable it to include a very poor soundtrack. My current desktop is Ubuntu 10.04 running on an old Athlon 64 single core with 2GB RAM with "enough" spare disk capacity for these very short home movie clips. I can play them back with the standard media player at present. I'm not a professional multimedia artist and I'm looking for a very simple, easy to use tool that will enable me to clean up, convert, etc. Ideally, I'd want to send these either via e-mail or on CD to family and friends.

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.

We are a small company producing short movies in Arabic and we stick to adobe premiere pro cs4. Lately we need to reduce our cost by moving to ubuntu to save Microsoft fees especially regular support. The main problem we have now is the tool to use for producing our short movies, so the main question is:- Does there is any tool we can use as equivalent to adobe premiere pro cs4? I am looking for a really series tool.

I need to create a simple diagram - basically, a small binary tree with labels on the nodes. I would probably posting that as a graphic illustration for a forum or blog post (but not at these forums).Looking at KDE menus, "gimp", "mtPaint", "LibreOffice draw" and "Inkscape" look as if they might be possibilities.When it comes to drawing, I'm am all thumbs (hopelessly incompetent). So what do you folk suggest as an easy way to get the job done.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a very simple tool I could use to manage sales leads?
I said CRM in the title of this thread, but I don't really need anything that full-featured. All I want is something to help me manage my job search by keeping track of which jobs I have applied for, when I need to phone particular agencies again, and that sort of thing. I have tried installing a couple of Apache-based apps, but they have turned out to be too complicated to set up. I couldn't find a desktop app in the repos, but maybe I have missed something. A cloud-hosted service would probably be OK, so long as it is within my current �0 budget.

Stupid browser froze up when I tried to submit this before... *sigh* Anyway, is there a simple midi editor that that isn't Rosegarden and doesn't require JACK? Something would simply let me load a Soundfont, and then edit and export a multi-track midi file without a bunch of other stuff you have to do?

I have a gaming server set up and running client software 24/7. This prevents me from editing the configuration files while the client is running. The server is connected to a switch which also connects another computer to the internet.What would be the proper software to use if I want to edit files on the server without interrupting the client?I have looked at Samba, SSH, and Screen, but I'm not entirely sure which one would be the best tool for the job.

I just made the complete switch from windows 7. I'm looking for a weather applet and a currency conversion applet for my desktop.
I tried gdesklets but I couldn't get any of the weather applets to work. They couldn't find weather data. The weather part of my gnome-panel works fine.
I also couldn't find a simple currency conversion tool with gdesklets.
Ps: major kudos for anyone who can find a tv guide desklet.

I'm looking for a Linux tool that allows me to transcode videos to a video codec that is highly compatible to the Windows platform. We produce large scientific videos from measurements and would like to show those videos during presentations and submit the videos to journals. We want to be as compatible as possible (we can not influence for example the codes installed on the presentation system or on the journal reviewers system).
Virtualdub suggests one of these codecs:
* Radius Cinepak
* Intel Indeo R3.2
* Microsoft Video 1
We tried ffmpeg, mencoder and Virtualdub under wine, none of those tools could produce videos encoded with the aforementioned codecs.

I'm just getting started with Ubuntu 64-Bit. Basically, I have Totem Movie Player and VLC Media Player installed and every time I watch a movie in either one of them. If I tab out of them or minimize them, when I bring the media player back up the screen is black. The sound still works perfectly but I can't see the movie and I've tried several media players out and they all do the same thing. Basically I can't multitask or bring up anything else while I watch a movie or I have to restart the player because of the media screen going black.
I'm not sure if my computer specs will help but here they are:
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64-Bit
Intel Xeon X3210 2.13GHz Quad
4GB DDR2-800 RAM
ATI Radeon 4870 512MB Videocard

I have recently installed Lucid on an Acer Aspire 5570Z laptop. It has an Optiarc DVD RW AD-7530A DVD-RAM writer. I am having trouble in playing video/movies on DVD.
When I am inserting a movie DVD, the drive is working (i.e. is busy) continuously but the disc is not being recognized and mounted. Disc Utility is showing "No Media Detected".
The same DVD discs are playing OK in my desktop (running Hardy) and on another laptop (running Lucid).
However, that Audio and data CDs are playing/reading OK in the same drive. Even blank DVDs are being recognized and mounted OK.

Is there a good tool for "batch-editing" a number of files non-interactively? Replace a string with another and add a couple of lines in several files...
sed would've been ideal, but AFAIK, sed(1) can't work on normal files. Is it possible to get ed(1) to execute a sed-like script on a file/number of files? Is there perhaps a cross between sed(1) and ed(1) out there?
Call me lazy, but it just seems such a waste to have to cat(1) the file through sed(1) and to a temp-file, and then overwrite the original with the temp-file...

I made a mistake and bought a $50 IBM A50 to use as a media server...Installed Karmic on it and figured out that the video card couldn't handle anything beyond the factory setting of 800:600, something like that...
I have not taken the time to learn about video cards and now I suffer....I found this "solution" EVGA 256-P1-N399-LX GeForce 6200 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Video Card
Which has mixed reviews on newegg
I want to use this machines( or another) to playback movies on my flat screen. I suppose I need to find out more about my TV as well...

I like this linux distribution more than the others that i have used, because is more stable for my work. But there are some little problems that I can't solve. I'm using it with a laptop HP G60 and i can run OpenOffice, Mozilla and some other programs (python, grass, qgis) that used for work at the office, but when I go home and want to watch a movie with my girl, listen some music or any other simple task, i find a lot of little problems:
1. Adjust the bright of the screen, the Power Management Guidance don't do it and I really need it.
2. Can't play movies in VLC "No suitable decoder module. VLC does not support the audio or video format XVID. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this"
3. And today I can't play music because there is a message "KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed" this is: Output HDA Intel, INTEL HDMI 0 (HDMI Audio Output)
I know maybe these problems are stupid but in windows is easier to fix them. I'm tired of search in google because i just find solved problems for Ubuntu and it takes a lot of time.

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.

My Camcorder produces 1080i 50fps. Via handbreak I converted the clips to 1080p 25 fps. (de-interlace) using h264 codec.
These converted clips work very well with Kdenlive. All effects are working and the render results(mp4 max bitrate) are equal to the original.
Openshot is less sophisticated and in my opinion less intuitive.

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 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.
