You can run KDE applications even if your desktop environment is GNOME, 
or if you're running xfce (or twm).  The first KDE application you start 
may create some support processes that only KDE applications use.

Re: Looking for video editing software

[Brian Cluff]

The 2.4.1 version of Openshot is actually a complete rewrite of using 
totally different technologies (libopenshot instead of the MeLT 
framework), so in a lot of ways it's a lot less mature than the "older" 
version 1.3.


You were probably better off with the latest of the first generation of 
OpenShot.


Try Kdenlive, the 9.6 version in Trusty wasn't terrible, and it was 
definitely already the most capable editor back then.  It probably won't 
crash with what you want to do with it, but even if it does it's got a 
very good emergency save mechanism that will allow you to pick and 
continue where you left off... just make sure that you have it saved at 
least once.  I usually create a new project and immediately save it 
where I want it to make sure that I get the emergency save functionality 
kicked in.

Tried Pitivi-ei-ei-o. The controls from the track headers are

Looked at Kino. It does not seem to fit my model for editing.
I am looking for a playback window, some tracks to add my

The newer version of Openshot is OK. It sill crashes on almost every move
of a clip in a track, but at least it does not exit! Very painful editing,
but it is now creating my video, so I will see how it turns out.

I run gnome, so I assume kdenlive is not supported?

Re: Looking for video editing software

[Mark Phillips]

Brian,

To be precise, I an running 14.04.5 LTS.

You have a good point about Openshot. Version 1.3.4 is the latest in the
repositories, so I downloaded 2.4.1, and will give that a try.

The latest version of Kino is in the Ubuntu repositories. It is just not
intuitive to me, so I need a tutorial.

Pitivi is at 0.93 in the repositories, and 0.98 is the latest. However, I
have to install that using flatpack of flapjack(?), and there is nothing in
the repository for that for Ubuntu 14.04 - only 16.04.

I have been resisting the upgrade to 16.04 because I don't want to spend a
lot of time fixing all the resulting broken stuff. I keep my system updated
on a weekly basis. I may have to bite the bullet.

Thanks!

Mark

You might do OK with a version of kdenlive from 14.04, but it was a little
fairly rough back then, and it's come a long long way in the last 4 year.

For video, you'll want to get some recent versions of whatever software you
find as video editing in general has come a long way in recent years, and
most video editors are based off the same core libraries (ffmpeg and the
MeLT framework)
