Multimedia with ubuntu / kdenlive

[Daniel Morrison]

Hi Paul,

No worries! From the site:

    * Kdenlive for editing
    * GIMP for graphics
    * Kino for super
    * Audacity for sound editing

Geek tips:

* Kdenlive is a great iMovie equivalent, but it's still essentially 
alpha. Make use of the autosave feature. Set it to 1 minute. Trust me.

* Kino is the only software on the linux platform that I could find that 
can overlay supers (superimposed text and images) on a live video 
source. If anyone knows better, please (please?) let me know

* The version of FFMPEG in the medibuntu repos is incompatible with the 
version of Kdenlive in the official repos. So, for that matter, is 
Compiz Fusion on your desktop. Use official standard ubuntu ffmpeg 
builds with Kdenlive.

* Ffmpeg is an extremely powerful tool - just realise that unlike most 
shell apps, the order of switches IS important -- all post processing if 
performed in order of switches.

Would love to hear from anyone else in the LOCO that has attempted linux 
video editing!

cheers,

danm
