- cmost, on 02/06/2009, -5/+64Not to fanboys: these work on ANY Linux distribution, NOT just Ubuntu.
- Auzy, on 02/06/2009, -4/+32Its a pity that to the best of my knowledge there is nothing similar to Final Cut Studio or Adobe Premier for Linux.
- darktrge, on 02/05/2009, -1/+28Well yes,, Avidemux is actually a VirtualDub clone..
- seinman, on 02/06/2009, -1/+24There really isn't any middle ground. Linux has some great beginner tools, and it has some high end apps that are used by the big movie studios. But for the prosumer market, nothing comes remotely close to what Adobe and Apple have on Windows and OSX.
- moppsy, on 02/06/2009, -0/+13Sad but true.
Though there is Shake and Maya. - coldkill3r, on 02/06/2009, -1/+14Just change the gnome theme and you are good to go.
- cannonball, on 02/06/2009, -0/+11i'm sure they do.
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -0/+11You know that the Linux video editors department is in really bad shape when you include FFmpeg on the list...
PS: I'm a Linux user but the state of the video editors on Linux plain suck. Even the game department is in better shape which is saying A LOT. - ArthurSucks, on 02/06/2009, -0/+11That is the Cinelerra-CV version, not heroine warrior version is stable. The engine is being rebuilt into a GTK interface to the Lumiera Project. I'm hoping it will be awesome.

No, because Linux is a kernel. I see no reason why you'd want to have a video editor in the kernel. :) - CalcProgrammer1, on 02/06/2009, -1/+11Codec errors? You mean the part where it automatically finds and installs all the codecs you'll ever need just by typing your password? Oh, I guess you're used to the Windows way where you have to scour the Internet looking for various codec packs and then trying to get them to work with a bunch of different codec schemes.
- RudeTurnip, on 02/06/2009, -4/+13Wow...these programs would actually make my PC as useful as my Macbook Pro for some amateur editing!!! Time to think about putting Ubuntu back on I suppose.
- armo, on 02/06/2009, -0/+9I completely agree that the state of linux video editors isn't good at all, but they're far better than a year or so ago and do basic tasks alright.
There's also the issue of $1,299.00 vs Free - mrBitch, on 02/06/2009, -0/+8@ pizpot RE: " Windows Movie Maker. I haven't tried it."
Yeah, "Windows Movie Maker" is the reason most people have to BUY (or PB) video editing software for Windows. - smotpoker, on 02/06/2009, -2/+10An African word to describe concept of sharing/altruism/humanity, actually. Oh, plus it's a distribution of Linux :)
- agentzero141970, on 02/06/2009, -2/+10I was looking for these yesterday.
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -1/+9Nice, didn't realize there were so many options.
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -1/+8Kdenlive is the best one. It's a great clone of Windows Movie Maker, but with better features, and just as easy to use.
- element247, on 02/06/2009, -2/+9Exactly, this ***** is so annoying. Buried.
- craftyguy, on 02/06/2009, -0/+7Actually, I was referring to the fact that ALL of these applications work in any flavor of Linux, and are NOT Ubuntu-specific.
- smotpoker, on 02/06/2009, -3/+9Jesus runs Linux too?!
Maybe he likes editing his home movies too :D. I don't think installing a video editting app via synaptic (3 clicks) is much of a bother personally, but maybe that's just me...
Oh, you meant why bother with Linux? I assume he does so because then he won't have to worry about malware, updating software individually, stability, costs, supporting a tyrannical company, etc etc etc
BTW, I didn't realize Windows came with free video editing software too or that everyone could afford a mac... maybe that's why some would 'bother' - psion01, on 02/06/2009, -0/+6Hmmm ... maybe I'll give it another chance some day, but when I tried to use Cinelerra for my first Linux video project, I found the application difficult to use with any precision. Maybe I just wasn't getting my head around it properly, but I ultimately wound up falling back on Blender (the 3D tool that does so much more) to do all my video editing and effects.
- mikemx, on 02/06/2009, -2/+8those programs are far worse than most pc editors and not even close to the likes of premiere or vegas
- NixiePixel, on 02/06/2009, -1/+7Calling these "for Ubuntu Linux" is not for the -fans of Ubuntu-, but for the growing number of casual computer users switching to Linux who are used to people writing "for Windows XP" and doing searches for such to find their software.
These users need love, and a bit of handholding. It is not improper to call these "for Ubuntu Linux," and the newbies who need this info don't care about other distributions. They have taken to Ubuntu because it is so much more newbie/Windows user friendly than other distributions. Don't get upset because of the wording (which helps them). They are the future of how Linux can gain acceptance - Linux users have to come from somewhere, and 90% of all computer users run Windows today... - pizpot, on 02/06/2009, -2/+7uh... since XP, MS ships with Windows Movie Maker, if you click Start->Accessories-->Windows Movie Maker. I haven't tried it.
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -0/+5Jahshaka? Has anything moved on that in the last 2 years?
- maruchan, on 02/06/2009, -0/+5Good on them for including FFMPEG. I have stopped using Avidemux because FFMPEG is much more direct if you know what you're doing (i.e. can start to pick up syntax after seeing enough example recipes). It's funny to do video editing in the terminal and think about 10 years ago when I thought that this terminal stuff was useless compared to the "real deal" GUI. Also, I'm slowly learning what is going on behind the scenes with videos and b-frames and chroma swapping and all that stuff...which makes me a smarter video editor overall.
Sigh, and I just bought a video editor for Windows, too...it doesn't get much use now except for titles work. :-( - coldkill3r, on 02/06/2009, -0/+5http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-C ...
- championchap, on 02/06/2009, -4/+9I actually say SlackWare Linux, Gentoo Linux, Debian Linux, Redhat Linux, Suse Linux, etc when i'm talking about any of the distros to anyone who isnt a Linux user themselfes.
If i said "mahn, there are some awesome video editors for Gentoo!" they'd be like "what the ***** is Gentoo?" - armo, on 02/06/2009, -0/+5It's a lot more work than the automatic prompt for codec install when you're missing a codec, or simply installing ubuntu-restricted-extras for all your codec needs. It also comes from a central repository so you don't have to worry whether you're downloading a virus riddled .exe
- r3bol, on 02/06/2009, -0/+5Don't know why you're getting dugg down for this. Its a valid point.
The the support text in this digg submission indicates Linux is the distribution flavor. We all know that you could have a distro based purely on video editing. - TheHerk, on 02/06/2009, -0/+5I'm not kidding; I was, too. I even put a post in tfproject.org posing the question that this answers. Very strange. Must be entanglement.
- Ratteler, on 02/06/2009, -1/+6Can any of these handle HiDef footage? I really only got my Mac to use Final Cut. If there was a way to edit my Panasonic HVX-200 and Sanyo HD1 (I know... Super low end.) footage, without rendering it to a common format it would make my day.
I would also be interested in something that could edit REDCODE on Linux. - Avalontor, on 02/06/2009, -3/+8But you wrote the title, it's misleading and Linux is shorter then Ubuntu Linux so why did you say it?
PS if they have't heard of distros like Gentoo, then they shouldn't know enough about Linux to edit videos.
People like you cause problems for new Linux users. GTFO lying sack of blogspam - tux11, on 02/07/2009, -0/+4linux rocks. i don't see codecs errors when i use these.
- adamdigg, on 02/06/2009, -14/+18buried for confusing ubuntu with linux
- bjenidles, on 02/05/2009, -0/+4Dugg for Vivia.
- CressCrowbits, on 02/06/2009, -0/+4Oh god please do yourself a favour and don't.
Stick with Vegas or Premier. - PsychoBrat, on 02/06/2009, -1/+5"Linux itself doesn't offer any default or built-in video editor application"?
Neither do Mach or ntoskrnl, if I recall correctly. What are we suggesting, here: in-kernel video-editing software? o_0 - directedition, on 02/06/2009, -0/+4Indeed, Blender is easily my favorite for video editing on Linux (it's also the only one that has native support for RedCode RAW). Powerful and simple, with a shake-like node system for serious compositors. Cinelerra was nice, but easy to break and not very intuitive. Cinepaint has its uses, but really isn't an 'editor' in the film-industry sense of the word. Jashaka could be something cool if more development were put into it. Sadly there are no true professional-grade editors available in the open-source arena on Linux quite yet, but I can see it happening eventually.
- ravan46, on 02/06/2009, -0/+4It's really a joke to me. They spend much more time making a cool looking website and graphics than an actual useful program.
- Gerchak, on 02/06/2009, -2/+5That's right, bury me, Linux Brigade! Even though I've been using Ubuntu since 6.10.
- xryancat, on 02/06/2009, -1/+4http://www.picmember.com/album/ihatekatypics/pictu ...
There. Saved you a lot of trouble. - amoore2600, on 02/06/2009, -2/+5Video editing in Linux is a mess!
- ieee, on 02/07/2009, -1/+4Buried for a whiny distro fan boy loser. People talk about Ubuntu more because it does more for them. Ubuntu does more for them, because they listened to what end users wanted instead of what what basement dwelling back end loser programmers thought they should have.
- hal9000jw, on 02/06/2009, -0/+3From the research I performed, kdenlive is the closest to supporting AVCHD files. I have a Canon HF-100 camcorder. I can import the clips into kdenlive, but there are issues when you attempt to view the clips in the project monitor. The issue is documented http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/distorted-project-mo ... and http://www.kdenlive.org/mantis/view.php?id=428. I have also had issues with huge file sizes rendering to h.264. For now, I am using mencoder to perform basic clip edits.
- cannonball, on 02/06/2009, -2/+5i was kind of hoping to see some video demonstrations...
- petemorley, on 02/06/2009, -1/+4If you have a PC with Windows, give AVID a go. I think they do a free/student version.
