Avid Products For Linux

[Sean4000]

please back me up on this thread. I am trying to get the word out about the need for Avid NLE's on the ubuntu platform. This is the lion's den and the smug and spin against Linux is out of control.

No one in Hollywood uses Linux ==LOL

In the mean time, which NLE for Linux is the most preferred? I used KDENlive, Open movie, cinelrra, etc, are there any more out there?

Really, what did you expect? :) Why do you care and want to pull us into a useless flame war? Also there are some very valid points there.

In the end, a feature request on a forum like that does nothing. For this to happen you would need to be a major studio that says, "Make a linux version or I'll stop using Avid.". That won't happen any time soon.

I wanted to start a flame war that might grab the attention of an Avid higher arch.

You're right, only a major studio will have that kind of pull. Not Dreamworks though, I believe they are Linux to the max. Everything got ported as far as I can tell. Maybe they'll help out community out.....maybe not. Linux sucks as far a NLE is concerned. I'll stick with VFX/Animation.

If we ever expect to make it into the mainstream and lay Windows to waste, then we have to offer complete and usable suite.

You all are right, bad idea. Thread dead.

I've used Cinelerra and think it is pretty good.

Some people are working on a redesign with Cinelerra3, that should fix many of its shortcomings. Hopefully they get it done this century. :)
