I don't do a whole lot of video editing but I'm familiar with some of the programs. Kdenlive is uber powerful, way overkill for anything I do. I've heard people compare it to Vegas something or other. It doesn't like non-KDE environments. I don't use it so I can't say more than that (like I said, overkill).
Avidemux is probably the best mencoder frontend around. I use it when I'm being lazy, but most of the time I use mencoder directly or use some uberspecialized frontend I wrote myself (it's faster to do that than point and click my way through the options I want). It can do quite a bit with existing videos (cropping, adding borders, cutting and splicing) but probably isn't the best choice for making new videos. I hear good things about Cinelerra, but like Kdenlive I don't use it. -----Original Message----- From: Maureen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 11:31 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Todo program For video editing on Linux http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php http://kdenlive.org/ http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/ On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 8:12 AM, Zaphod Beeblebrox <[email protected]> wrote: > > I toy around with the idea of buying a generic 4 core laptop and installing > linux on it.
