I would also throw Kdenlive into the hat of passable Linux video editors: http://www.kdenlive.org/
Blender, as I understand, is more geared towards 3d authoring and is probably not good for simple multi-track video editing. Matt, while many FOSS video tools exist, a large percentage leave much to be desired for the lay creator. Encoding to Theora is a chore (if not an impossibility) for most non-FOSS oriented creators, and the list of hard to do stuff goes on... This conference is a place to improve the tools, educate newcomers, and improve connections and communication between projects, creators, viewers, etc. I'm pretty psyched to be involved, and want to encourage anyone who is interested to get on board. —Dean On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 11:42 PM, Ryan Prior <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 10:22 PM, Martin Leduc <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> The conference sounds amazing.
