Age Old Question: Is There Any Good Video Editing Software for Linux?

by Daniel Bruns | January 12th, 2010

openshot_smallWe are in a war. Not a war between two countries, but a war for our computer’s operating system. Software makers such as Microsoft and Apple have been waging this ruthless war for more than thirty years without even a moment of reprieve. On one hand, Microsoft has such a pervasive operating system that software designed for it is practically universal. On the other hand, Apple has clever and fashionable programs that are hard to turn away from. On still another hand (if there is such a thing), Linux is absolutely free and for those with coding knowledge, is a world of endless software possibilities.

Even with these possibilities, up until this year there had been limited options for easy to use, flexible editing programs running on Linux. Software such as Kino, Cinelerra, Lives, and Mainactor all have had the ability to make simple edits and even some transitions, but have historically lacked a diverse video format support, a flexible work flow, and a stable interface. As a result, some desperate Linux users went so far as to use several programs in order to do what one editing program could do on a Macintosh or Windows PC leaving a big hole for a new kind of editing software to fill. Find out what that software is after the break. Read the rest of this entry »
