emh Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 You might want to look at Cinelerra. Don't know the website off hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I installed it, but it's way confusing. Is there any good documentation (like a PDF) available for download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 You could give Main Actor a try. They did have a Linux beta out that you could install. Seems to be a fairly good product. I have it installed, but have not really played with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitor Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I've been looking myself for the same thing. Up till now there seem to be some possibilities that are improving by the day: 1. Cinellera: I've read everywhere that it is so powerfull, but it clearly is not for the home user who wants to some basic quick editing. High learning curve. 2. Kino: I'm not able to evaluate it yet. Up till now I only work on some small video's from my still camera in mjpeg. Kino is not able to handle those (seems only to be able to have DV format as input, lots of formats as output though). This is the software I intend to use when I finally have my digital video camera. I read good things about it. 3. LiVES: This one is indeed able to work with mjpeg, so that is the one I have some (basic) experience with. The ability to rotate the movie was a feature I found nowhere else yet, and when you made the mistake with the still camera to shoot under 90° angle, ... Looks not so enormously mature yet, but a problem I had was corrected by the project owner within a day (thanks again Salsaman). Looks to me to have most of the functionality home users could wish. However sometimes work arounds are required, and documentation is not there yet. Also not optimized for big files (so watch it with DV files). Very promising though. All three can be installed from rpm package. Don't remember from contrib, plf or other source though. Hope this helps, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppercorn Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I have played with cinerella and all it did was cease up my computer. Not much confidence there! I did play with Main Actor a bit and it really looked the goods! You have to buy the new version but I think that you can still down,load an earlier version free from the mirrors!
