You don't say what type of software you are looking for, but here's my two cents worth. As a video editor/compositor; Cinelerra is a powerful professional tool, yet it is hard to install properly, and even then all features may not work well or at all on Ubuntu. It does have the advantage of using the Cinelerra authored Quicktime4Linux library which works well on .mov files with lots of codec support. I have used it professionally but with much anguish. Lots of tutorials (no matter what your experience level, go through the beginners tuts as they provide much needed info) and there is at least one repository which has a Debian package and several Ubuntu packages if you look in the Ubuntu forum. I found the best way was to compile my own, it worked better on my PC. Lots of tutorials both video and otherwise on the web.</p> <p>Kino will import and export .mov files but will not give you much use other than straight cut editing and some very standard looking wipes, plus a few simple effects. It can be a little confusing on how to use it but at least try it out. When I was working in Linux I used it mainly to capture and to convert files from one format to another. There are some tutorials if you think it's good enough for the use you're putting it to.</p> <p>Blender has some new editing features if you have the fortitude to go through the learning curve, but the editing feature is rather immature just yet, and a little harder to use than say Premiere. The compositing features available to you in Blender are enormous, but again that annoying learning curve.</p> <p>Everything else I've used on Linux in the past has had the misfortune of being Windows Movie Maker quality, and perhaps more immature than that.</p> <p>Give these a try, you may find what you're looking for. Hope this helped.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-editor-software-for-linux-supporting-mov-file-please-help#post-70268 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:37:16 +0000 albert 70268@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I use ubuntu 11.04 (linux) and cant find any software supporting MOV file (canon S95).

I'm using Premiere Pro v7.0<br />I've taken a few clips that are .mov files. In quicktime the videos look beautiful and display at full frame rate. However, in Premiere, instead of displaying or saving at the correct frame rate of 29.97, it thinks the frame rate is 2.99 fps. The strange thing is is that the duration of the video is correct, so if I try to manually adjust the frame rate with the 'Interpret Footage' it shortens the duration of the clip proportionally. Another odd thing is that Premiere shows the video track frame rate to be 29.97 in the clip properties but then assigns a frame rate of 2.99 for the whole thing. Here's what it shows for one of them:</p> <p>Type: QuickTime Movie<br />File Size: 151.08MB<br />Image Size: 848x480</p> <p>Pixel Depth: 24<br />Frame Rate: 2.99<br />Audio 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Mono<br />Total Duration: 00;04;08;15<br />Average Date Rate: 622.55KB / second<br />Pixel Aspect Ration: 1.000</p> <p>Quick Time Details:<br />Move contains 1 video track(s), 1 audio track(s) and 0 timecode track(s)</p> <p>Video:<br />This movie appears to have DROPPED FRAMES.<br />There is 1 frame with a duration of 64/2997ths.<br />There are 7449 frames with a duration of 1/29.97th.</p> <p>Video track 1:<br />Duration is 00;04;08;15<br />Average frame rate is 29.97 fps</p> <p>Video track 1 contains 1 type(s) of video data:</p> <p>Video data block #1:<br />Frame size = 848 x 480<br />Compressor =<br />Quality = Least (1.00)</p> <p>Does anyone have a fix for this?
