No video editing that I've thus tried has come even close to working. I'm using ubuntu studio 8.4.1.

I don't use DV, so kino is out. Open Movie Editor has too many problems for me to even begin- I can't load a video, I can't play one, etc.

PiTiVi is the closest, but it's just emaciated- I can try and put clips together, and things seem to be ok, but the exported file will only be the first clip, and I can't edit the audio *at all*.

I tried to download Cinelerra 4, and I found that the link on Heroin's website is actually mislinked- the 32 bit link causes you to download an i686 file.

I found this (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13554&package_id=50184&release_id=619071) page, but don't know what to download from the options.

The other thing is the camera I'm using, and the format the videos I'm getting- I get .MOD, and to each MOD there is a corresponding .MOI, and I don't know what that is used for. The camera is the Panasonic SDR-S7. I don't know if that causes any problems, but the editors all seem to accept the file at first, and then deny it.

I know open movie editor won't even allow me to use a basic .mp4 that runs on my ipod just fine...

Kdenlive crashed the first time I started it, sending SIGSEV when trying to load.

Blender, besides looking complicated, has odd issues that aren't even allowing it to display right. :\

Where do I start?

I can't really help you with the video editing software, except to say that I successfully downloaded Cinelerra before.

Getting Ubuntu 8.10 fixed the display problem with Blender, but I wouldn't use that for video editing.

I know I probably wasn't much help, but I hope you get it fixed!

I love Cinelerra. (http://cinelerra.org/) Go to the main web page and follow their installation instructions. I've had it working on 32 and 64 bit systems since early Hardy.

solution:

1 : sudo apt-get install libxcb-composite0 libxcb1-dbg libxcb1-dev
2: delete configuration files (~/.kde/share/config/kdenliverc)
3: try to disalble compiz (gnome user run this : metacity --replace ; kde user kwin --replace
