Video Editing software ideas?
Does anyone in the group have a Video Editor that they like. I am looking for software that is easy to learn and not that expensive. Linux or windows is ok.

Re: Video Editing software ideas?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software is no help for deciding anything but it does give a clue about the variety that is available. I have been partial to OpenShot and have given a presentation on it several times. Historically, I tried 5 different ones for Linux before settling on OpenShot about two years ago. Brian gave a presentation Tuesday night on Kdenlive. I have to say I am impressed with what it has to offer. Apparently Kdenlive is also available for BSD and MacOS. I am afraid you need to be conscientious about regularly saving you project in either product to prevent loss of your work. I have heard some people like Cinnelara though I was not happy with it two years ago. There are a couple of others but I do not recall their names. I also heard that a commercial editor is coming to Linux as Freeware or maybe even FOSS, but have not heard anything for some months. That might have been Lightworks but I am not sure.

Re: Video editing
At the risk of being shot at dawn by the list, I have to admit I use Movie Studio by Sony (http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudio) on a Windows machine to edit video clips and make movies. The interface is very easy to use, you can export your video to a variety of formats to CD or DVD, and you can input directly from your video camera. I have never had good luck getting the Linux tools to work.

Another question on Video Editing
While we're on the topic of video editing: A while back a bought a Hauppage PVR-150 TV/capture card. This was a replacement for my dearly departed previous Hauppage, which I was able to get working fairly easily on Linux. (The machine it was in was having power problems, and the Hauppage suddenly decided to die on me. Thinking I'd have success again with Hauppage I ordered a new one. I had lots of trouble getting it to work on Linux, so I gave up and put it on the XP machine.) I can use Hauppage's Win TV 2000 program on our XP machine to capture analog home videos, which I can replay on several different programs on both Linux and Windoze. Nothing, I repeat, nothing I have tried so far on either machine has been able to edit these videos. When I finally did get Cinelerra to work, it produced output files that were without sound. Same thing goes for the shareware Easy video splitter on Win XP. One possible problem is that I chose the output file format arbitrarily. I have no idea which output formats are likely to be editable. On video it has the following options: MPEG1, DVD, VCD, SVCD. On audio there are three options MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 and AC-3.

I personally use lives.sourceforge.net. It's very simple to use. If you want to do advanced editing, you can use Cinelerra but it's more complicated.

Thanks in advance, Richard Wilson Kino was mentioned and it's a good program now that it is more stable. But, it edited raw digital video (DV) files. As far as I know it will not import MPEGs. When I already have MPEG files, I use Avidemux to edit them. (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/) The one I am very hopeful about is KDEnlive (http://www.kdenlive.org/) but I have not found it to be stable enough yet. After you edit the MPEGs you will need to create a DVD, I assume. For that work I prefer QDVDAuthor. (http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/) It's not too fancy but gets the job done with plenty of DVD menu options and so on. I provided the URLs to each program above but you should install them from the Fedora repositories. They should all be in there. Whatever you pick, ask questions here.

As far as I know it will not import MPEGs. Newer versions of kino should import your video in non-raw formats -- but it will take a while to import. If not, you can always use ffmpeg or mencoder before-hand... $ ffmpeg -i foo.mpg foo.raw -- Kristian Erik Hermansen Know something about everything and everything about something. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

I have since found that I prefer to stay with the MPEG format rather than convert back and forth on my way to a DVD. If one is more comfortable using Kino, the ability to import and use MPEG is a great feature.

This package combines them with important supporting libraries required for their use. The lavrec utility supplied supports capture from Zoran based MJPEG capture/playback cards like the Buz (Iomega), DC10 (MIRO, Pinnacle) and the LML33 (Linux Media Labs). Compatible MJPEG avi files can also be created using any frame-grabbing card supported by the xawtv tool. Videos recorded in this can be filtered, editted, and converted to MPEG streams. The MPEG encoder is optimised for high quality results at medium to high bit-rates (1Mbps upwards) and supports MMX/SSE/3D-Now and SMP. A Duron 700 can deliver around 15-20 352x288 frames per second. A key design objective of the tools is interoperability with other video tools: currently xawtv, bcast2000, nuppelvideo and vcdimager are known to interoperate. The MJPEG utilities can read AVI, Quicktime, and movtar streams. The MPEG encoder can produce streams suitable for buring to VCD/SVCD using vcdimager or similar tools. The software playback of MPEG streams works with almost every player and every OS. SSE/MMX and 3D-Now! are supported permitting a 700Mhz CPU to deliver arond 15-20 VCD frames/second. -- Kristian Erik Hermansen Know something about everything and everything about something. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
