chalex20 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Cinerella: http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3 for non-linear editing <{POST_SNAPBACK}> PLF has RPMs of it, so there is no need to download the source code and recompile. I've had some bitter experience recompiling their source code - one who developed their makefiles deserves some sophisticated inquisition torture. That's not to mention that the code compilation gets sorely broken with each new gcc release - it's just full of "dirty tricks". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Other option: Kino. Their site has Mandriva packages, too. http://www.kinodv.org/article/archive/0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some newer version, just recompile the correspondent PLF SRPM - it's a lot easier than recompiling the original source code.

antonis_wrx Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 which of those programs also edits mpeg files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalex20 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 which of those programs also edits mpeg files? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cinelerra has some abilities, though limited. Generally, in the eyes of "advanced amateurs", not to talk about professionals, MPEG is not considered "editable" - it's rather "final"/"demonstration" format, not "interim".

antonis_wrx Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 the video is captured by my tv card (happauge wintv 250pvr) directly on mpeg so I don't have it on avi format to edit it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of editing do you need to perform? Just cutting out ads etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonis_wrx Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would like to cut parts of the screen, noise reduction... things like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Bump! :D I'm looking for some very simple editing features, just to tinker with some avis recorded by my Ixus camera. I can play these clips no problem (including sound) with Kaffeine, Xine and mplayer, they're in motion jpeg format I believe. So what I'd like to do is tinker with them a bit, for example: cropping off the beginning and end; joining clips together, resizing, simple stuff like that. It would be cool if I could play with fancier tricks like fades, slow motions and so on but any kind of editing would be a start. So I tried Cinelerra (can't play the clips, can only play distorted sound), and then Kino (can't open them) and then Kdenlive (can't seem to do _anything_ with them). The closest I've got is with mencoder which appears to be able to do conversions from the cli, and even appeared to convert it to an mpeg4 file (I was thinking that might be able to be read and edited by something else), but the resulting file is unplayable by anything. Can anyone offer any tips? I don't have a clue about all these video formats and the man page for mplayer/mencoder is gargantuan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uralmasha Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I use avidemux for that purpose. That's a GUI tool. It can recode/requantise to another format/container, do basic noise reduction, rotate, add a sound track, cut and append clips. There is a mandriva package for it on PLF, but unfortunately it depends on firefox-1.0.6, so you'll have to workaround that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I got avidemux installed, and it looks almost exactly what I was looking for - I can crop and append the clips and then save the result in various formats. Unfortunately, whatever I try, the file can't be played by either Xine or Kaffeine - am I doing something wrong? The file plays within avidemux (apart from repeated crashes), is it possible that I'm missing some recompression software? I've tried Format as AVI and MPEG, and the Video setting as Copy, Mpeg4 (lavc) and Xvid4, but each time I get a file with audio but no video. Any clues? I was even debating exporting each frame as jpeg and then trying to put them all back together into a video, but then I've lost the sound...
