I think Linux has been missing good video editing software for a while now. It would be really cool if this could be a project to get the developers involved in creating tools for doing video editing. Or maybe latching onto software like Blender and adding in all the features/refining the ones that are already there. Kind of like the Big Buck Bunny, or Elephant's Dream Project. Where the product is what drives the developers. Just a thought, though. -- David -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
