Linux Video Editing Software – What an Open Source Sony Vegas Looks Like
This quick tutorial will teach you how to put together a video complete with titles, transitions and effects! It’s easy to learn the basics of video editing, especially in Linux! The program I used is called Kdenlive, It’s like Sony Vegas, except it’s free and open-source! www.kdenlive.org

@AlexComerProduction1 i do

open shot looks promising and VLC’s video editor will be out soon. From the demo videos VLMC looks pretty damn good.
What an excellently well made tutorial! Very clever indeed. I wish I’d seen it before I started using kdenlive. Figuring out how to do transitions was difficult without instructions. Once you know what to do it’s pure cake. Thanks for this vid, it has some things I didn’t know.
I tried the other Linux editors and I think kdenlive is really the best. It’s just been compiled for LighthousePup Linux which is an awesome OS. The combination of the two is mighty fine.
How can I actually install this?
@Panpan2Cloe:
on debian-based linux-distributions: apt-get install kdenlive
or in a graphical packet-manager like synaptic
@Nixie: great tutorial! I’m using Kdenlive since about 1 year – it’s great! I also tried cinelerra and some other video-editors – but IMHO, kdenlive is the best of all.
(using debian testing (“squeeze”) and kdenlive 0.7.7 – it works really good.)
true that long live linux
in teh package manager go look for kdenlive it is there on linux mint ubuntu opensuse and pclinuxos. its already in teh package manager. i also use something i like better than kdenlive and its called Openshot. sorry these softwares are linux only. no windows versions for them. google them to go to the sites.
more than 3% of teh market share.
Openshot workks alot better for me
try linux mint 8
its based on ubuntu 9.10 but comes preinstalled with codecs/flash/java and bug fixes. its teh better ubuntu :S at least in my opinion
i agree.
try linux mint … and/or pclinuxos. easier to use than ubuntu
install the latest version they fixed that. 0.7.7 or tey Openshot. look at my videos ill show you how to get it.
VideoCopilot Optical Flares is now for a download at Aries-Films File Section, Just google for Aries-Films and get your copy of Optical Flares Including CRACK
hi nixie, thanks for all your info on linux and mainly on kdenlive. I’ve just swiched to ubuntu, open artist, I’m trying to edit my first video on kdenlive but it won’t recognise my firewire, do you know why by any chance?
thanks

Still Openshot is better and less complicated
@virginiayole Try Openshot, if your Ubuntu 9.10 lets you (cause it’s having some problems with python MLT) or wait for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it rocks!
i was thinking of switching to linux is it expensive?
its free
умничка…
хорошо рассказывает
Every time I use Kdenlive, it’s a very frustrating crash filled experience…but I like Linux.
just done my first Kdenlive video compressed it with DeVede from about 600mb down to 20mb
result :O) lol
@101theglitch 60mb down to 20mb not 600 lo l
@ganjaking187 get a blank cd, go to ubuntu, download iso of ubuntu9.10, using roxio or nero burn a cd image, restart computer, hit f2 when prompted scroll to boot list, make sure cd is first, save settings, restart, install.
Be careful not to partition your hard drive, unless thats what you want to do.
In less than 2 hours you will have a new operating system for free.
