I have tried several GUI tools too but find cli melt the best too. I only miss - ability to write mlt files (command line style language, non-xml files) which would allow for better factoring of complex videos, e.g. using comments and includes - documentation about how to do things. These are minor points though compared to inconvenience of GUI video editing. Even some people, who don't master command line can and succesfully work with melt and find it much better to work with text rather than clicking around. > if I want something, I need to compile it and all its dependencies, You could try the nix package manager which has the latest melt and building is completely automatic, including all dependencies: e.g. $ nix-shell -p mlt $ melt -version melt 6.2.0 Copyright (C) 2002-2016 Meltytech, LLC <http://www.mltframework.org/> This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
