- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -2/+39I think by Ubuntu, they mean Linux.
- guruboyguru, on 05/21/2009, -8/+24Warning: only for people who don't actually make videos.
- mjpatey, on 05/21/2009, -1/+16Recently bought a little camcorder and am going through the process of choosing a Linux editing app. I just want to say this author has no business posting this article! Several of these apps have been abandoned or put on indefinite hold by their creators years ago... and of the rest, some are awkwardly designed (like Kino), and the others (Kdenlive, everything else but Cinelerra) are incredibly unstable or just won't run for me.
In cases like this, forums are usually where Linux users go for answers. There are none. The overwhelming feedback I've gotten from the Ubuntu Forums (usually a happy place!) is, "Yeah, been there... I just bought Vegas Movie Studio for Windows and run it in a VM..." etc.
The video editing niche is seriously under-served in Linux. Hopefully Kdenlive will stop crashing and Cinelerra will import more formats and maybe update its UI, as they are the most promising video editors of the bunch. But it has to happen soon!
Edit: And CinePaint is NOT a video editor!!! - cptnspoon, on 05/21/2009, -2/+15Article lacks any real details. I'd be surprised if the author had actually USED any of the apps, the writing just looks like copy/paste blurbs from their respective websites.
- Spyder810, on 05/21/2009, -4/+11http://ubuntustudio.org/ , submission buried.
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -2/+6Tried most of these and none of them worked on Ubuntu correctly even after compiling from source.
Save your time and slave XP in a second box or use VM. Jashaka, Cineralle etc have been abandoned or are stuck at 1998 level technology. (re. Sony Acid V1)
Once again if these developers had joined forces Linux would have a massively awesome Video system, but like LMMS, Ardour and others in the Audio section (these actually work to point). The devs will soldier on until they burn out never realizing the true potential. LMMS needs serious work but alone it does not attract donations or coders. Combined with Ardour or something it would be no time before Linux had a Cubase equivalent DAW. Which would attract donations. corperate input / custom work and coders.
There also needs to be a focus on a business model too. You need to be able to sell a similar or more advanced version. Allow the basic core the be free and sell the advanced add ons which is where the dirty hard coding is actually applied. The DAW /Video Community is not full of Coders, its full of artists. Linux OS is a different kettle of fish attracting smaller contributions and technology that make up the whole...
Kind of like Photoshop and Elements though you get elements for nothing, the rest needs plug ins (and third parties can do the same). Cookies for everyone.
I used to program for love, now I don't lift a finger unless it suits me to do so (thumb nailer projects for Gnome) or someone open their wallet and I suck up and do stuff to get paid. - paulsmith288, on 05/21/2009, -0/+4Not a great submission, just a couple of screens and a little description about each. Still not the worst.
Oh and the linux haters are out in force today. Why bother commenting about linux if you hate it so much? Just filter out the linux topics and get on with your lives. - inactive, on 05/21/2009, -10/+13Amount of the 10 free apps that are Adobe After Effects: zero.
- Subduction, on 05/21/2009, -0/+3Sure, but they still suck, and when you download them and discover that then there's nowhere else to go on Linux, even with money.
The title of the article says it will "turn Ubuntu into a video studio" -- and that (and I'm speaking as an Ubuntu user myself) is yet another in a long line of ridiculously hyperbolic claims. If someone downloads those programs hoping to have a usable "video studio" then we will have one more person disappointed in the platform, cash or no cash.
Not helpful at all. - mrsteveman1, on 05/21/2009, -0/+2Well, yea, either by running actual linux with colinux or that ubuntu portable thing, or by compiling against native GTK libraries, or by using cygwin.....you get the picture :)
- theaceoffire, on 05/21/2009, -0/+2Depends. If you are trying to run new games, or if you have old Windows programs you require for work etc, it does get annoying... but for browsing, work (Word, excel, etc, stuff for college), and the rest, Linux is nice.
If windows was more stable, handled drivers better, could fit on a CD and was free, with an easy to use package system for program installation... I would use it, even if it couldn't run the newest Window's games or Photoshop. Until then, Ubuntu fills my needs. - Raphae1, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2Thanks a lot.
- Raphae1, on 05/21/2009, -3/+5Actually that's not true. I made all my youtube videos with Linux. Most of them with lives, but nowadays kdenlive is even better. Watch them at http://youtube.com/raphi72
- Raphae1, on 05/21/2009, -2/+4You can run KDENlive without running KDE.
- tenio, on 05/21/2009, -2/+4"10 Free Apps that Turn your UBUNTU into a Video Studio"
- Raphae1, on 05/25/2009, -0/+1With a decent hardware (enough RAM) you won't notice whether you load gnome+kde libraries or just one of those sets.
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -1/+2Low quality submitter as well. AstralKnight, notorious for spamming Microsoft article submissions with hate, lies, and paranoia. Up yours, you stupid prick.
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -4/+5Oh God. Not another "Free Video / Image editing alternatives" for Linux. The GIMP is not Photoshop equivalent. Cinelerra is not Premiere/Avid/FC equivalent. No free tool is even remotely comparable to any professional editing suite, even those running natively on Linux (such as Autodesk Inferno+Flame+Flint+Smoke running on RHEL5).
To me, working in the video editing and post-production industry, this is *****. These are "10 free apps that turn your Ubuntu (any Linux) into a $(cat /etc/issue) version of Windows Movie Maker". - bakaoni, on 05/21/2009, -2/+3I would say it borders on spam with all of the ads.
I could have summed this article up like this:
Install UbuntuStudio and enjoy. - antdude, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1Mirrors: http://rorr.im/digg.com/linux_unix/10_free_apps_th ... and http://74.125.45.132/search?q=cache:2UDwhqDdt_YJ:w ... ...
- twiztidsinz, on 05/21/2009, -3/+4...not as good as FREE Windows alternatives?
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -6/+7None of those are adequate. Each has a ridiculously complicated UI, with the possible exception of KDENlive, and I'm not willing to put up with KDE to find out. Buried for no useful info.
- theaceoffire, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1I second this.
Ubuntu has a few areas where Window's is far better supported (Games, Video Editing, and Adobe tools).
Until addressed, a windows partition with disabled internet access allows me to run my unavailable software, then boot into Ubuntu for a safe and fast desktop.
If / When virtual machines start being able to access my actual hardware (video card, etc), then I will be able to run windows inside of linux in seamless mode with no networking, and have all my windows programs in a segregated chunk of my hard drive, protecting my actual system without preventing my enjoyment of Windows programs. - Manitoadlet, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1I like Sony Vegas. KDEnlive is the most tolerable Linux video editor I've used. I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree when it comes to video editing anyway so I need something at least approaching easy to use. The apps on that list that I've tried sucked in that regard. I'm intrigued by couple that I've not tried yet but my hopes aren't super high.
- bipolarruledout, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1How about AVCHD? Do I even want to know the answer?
- theaceoffire, on 05/21/2009, -1/+2FINALLY, someone who actually offers something *USEFULL* when burying a story.
All these "LOL LINUX SUX" and "Not Adobe" posts were getting on my nerves... Thanks for the link. - inactive, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1Yeah. Installing all the KDE dependancies. You're better off running it in KDE anyway.
- ArthurSucks, on 05/22/2009, -0/+1AVCHD works fine in Kdenlive.
- linuxisbest, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1Ok, so I liked your post so much better. Even though the original post was just a little thrown up there and has so many ads, I do on my blog also, that's where the money comes from. Yet this is a very quick read, although almost the same as ubuntustudio. Bloggersavvy you are awesome but very critical for sure.
- bipolarruledout, on 05/28/2009, -0/+1Looks fairly impressive and my needs are basic. I just wish they a Windows binary.
- t0mislav, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1Cinelerra and ffmpeg work ok, other programs from the list are not that stable.
- BloggerSavvy, on 05/21/2009, -1/+1Top 10 Linux Video Applications - NOT! -> http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/top-10-linux-video-appl ...
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -2/+2What? Free Apps?
- orb9220, on 05/21/2009, -0/+0Yep was the reason I went back to XP as my main.
I would love to love Linux. But until it can do Video and Image editing (Don't get me started on Gimp) on par with windows. Then XP will do fine for me.
The sad thing for Ubuntu and Linux is unless the developers redefine their priorities for the user's instead of what they think we want or what they want to invest their time on then it will be a long time coming.
I have been watching for the last 2yrs and see little in the way of advances in Image and Video apps. - twiztidsinz, on 05/21/2009, -1/+1I think that he meant you could use the NUMEROUS free and opensource programs for Windows to do the same thing while maintaining the ability to do other things like gaming and not deal with configuring the ***** out of a Linux install. http://sourceforge.net/
- astyguy, on 05/21/2009, -1/+1good article but needs nixiepixel to present it !
- bakaoni, on 05/21/2009, -1/+0Wow, you can install Ubuntu apps on Vista?
I take back everything I said that wasn't nice about it. - guruboyguru, on 05/22/2009, -2/+1Your videos suck.
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -3/+1Buried for usage of GNU/Linux in a RMS nazi fashion.
- Subduction, on 05/21/2009, -8/+6Free, yes. But...
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -4/+2Errhhmm.. No it hasn't.
- oomfoofoo, on 05/20/2009, -17/+15Low quality submission. Buried.
- EVILTHETURTLE, on 05/21/2009, -9/+7What a junk submission.
- Nephersir7, on 05/21/2009, -8/+6Buried for being submitted by AstralKnight
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -6/+3ubuntu is gnu/linux so the description should say "gnu/linux has got some excellent FREE applications which can turn your PC into Live Studio!"
- inactive, on 05/21/2009, -5/+2Step 1: Get a Mac, Step 2: Make your Movie
