not quite, cinepaint seems to be for touching up individual frames, not doing non-linear editing (ie cutting & pasting scenes, adding titles, transitions, sound tracks etc)
I have looked into this and the main suspects are: kino - seems ok for what it does, limited range of effects. cinellera - very upmarket package designed for major productions. almost no docs. designed for people with renderfarms. works in gentoo, but a lot to learn. main actor - commercial package, dowmloadable trial linux version, not been able to get much out of it yet. IMHO none of these match the flexibility of some of the better windows products like vegas video, which is bloody fantastic. (but expensive) For one thing the linux packages generally only import dv style files, ie ones produced by your digicam. most windows stuff seems to import any format, existing avi's. mpegs, wmv's etc. On Wed, 03 Dec 2003 10:42:18 +1300 Jason Greenwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/ > > Should do the trick. > > Jaco Swart wrote: > > >Good day, all, > > > >A good friend of mine will be looking into film editing software in the very > >near future, and I promised to find out what is available for Linux. > > > >For a start, he'll need to hook his camera (Canon XL1) up via firewire. > >Then, he will need some serious editing software - we're not talking filming > >granny's birthday here, we're talking film festivals. > > > >any thoughts? > > > >rgds! > >Jaco > > > > > > > > > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
