Best Video Editor in Ubuntu...

[DrDagostino1]

I'm asking an opinion of what you think the best video editor in Ubuntu is and why? I'm interested to see everyones answers.

This question has been raised already several times. So search the forum and you will have several discussion threads.
As a summary : the best one does not exists. There is probably a best fit for your needs. So check the editors on features and try a selection of them that come closest to your needs.
Here are some possibilities : kino, kdenlive, avidemux, openmovie, cinelerra, blender (VSE) , pitivi, lives.
Cinelerra and blender are high level; kino small and easy and the others somewhere between.

I ment what is everyones favorite video editor, not what the if there is a best one or not. I have tried most of the ones you mentioned and am still wondering what other people think.

Well it really depends what you gonna do.You dont expect a sony vegas on linux but avidemux fixes my problems.

I know but I'm still wondering what other people think of Ubuntu Video Editors.

I like Kdenlive best but the earlier versions are highly unstable. I am having real problems just getting the latest 0.7 version to work (an issue with sox-dev at present).

Blender (VSE video sequence editor). Many features (keyframes)

[DrDagostino1]

Ok, Thanks everyone!

[sharon.gmc]

blender too. . .

[paulmerchant]

Another +1 for Blender's VSE.

Why not just search? Google is your friend.

Why even bother with that when you have this amazing package manager. :guitar:

i'm just playing along

As of late, I've been trying out Linux video editors because I want to move over to Linux 100%. There really isn't much good out there, so you're probably going to use one video editor for each need.

For recording video from another source, I've successfully used XawTV in PCLinuxOS (I'm still trying to get it to work on Ubuntu.)

To compile a video, I've used kdenlive. It's still quite buggy, and I find myself restarting the software multiple times while working on a video. However, it's nice and easy to use (when it's not buggy). However, I've had problems with the sound disappearing when exporting the video.

Therefore, I use Open Movie Editor to put the sound in and export again. Open Movie Editor seems to be nice and stable, but it unfortunately lacks the ability to "zoom in" on the timeline to make the editing of small clips easier to manage.

Blender looked far too complicated to touch, Cinelerra isn't as complicated as Blender, but still complicated, Pitivi seems to be purely junk. I'm sure I have a few others installed that I've tried and didn't like, but again, I've found kdenlive and Open Movie Editor the best and the easiest ones to use.

Actually, Open Movie Editor does have this feature, the bottom scrollbar has drag-able boxes on the bar that enable you to zoom in and out.

Another +1 on Blender. I used to use Cinelerra also but for a reason that I don't remember, I had to remove it. I'm going to try using Cinelerra again in the near future. But yeah, as of now, Blender is what I use.

Ubuntu uses repositories, remember? If you need information from their websites, don't be lazy, just Google it!

My vote is for PiTiVi. It's easy to use, nice looking, and headed in the right direction. It uses the gstreamer framework which is great and really seems to be the most promising for the future

[metallicamike]

i would have to say avidemux. im surprised no one has said that already!
