Video Editing: From Windows To Linux

Without a doubt, one of the biggest problems that I had when I was transitioning from Windows to Linux was losing immediate access to Adobe Premiere Elements. To the video beginner, it can present a little bit of a learning curve, but for someone like me, it’s irreplaceable. Short of buying an Adobe Premiere, I could not have been happier.

If you have been following our previous articles on OSWeekly.com, you know me well enough to understand that I have no interest in buying a new iMac just to edit my self-created movie content. Therefore, this has left me with a few very limited video editing options.

Kino: It's Cute, But Give Me a Break. Without a doubt, the single most functional video retrieval and editing tool that the Linux desktop has is Kino. For those of you on other OS', I would equate it to Windows Movie maker. A great tool for the video beginner, but their single biggest lacking feature is a clearly defined "draggable" track-based interface for my video project.

If you use Linux and have never edited a video before, then I highly recommend Kino for just putting together some home movies. But if you are working with projects that require a little more detail than what this application can provide, then you are better off with another application. Kino is just not going to cut it.

It LIVES! LIVES looked as if it had a lot of potential...

Video Editing For Ubuntu

Author AvatarI have spent the better part of three months researching this closely and can honestly say that I have located viable, non-crap options for those of us needing to make true video editing a reality.

One of the first things I have discovered is that while KINO is great to run as sudo and set to use 1394-RAW for extracting video off the ‘ol video camera, it sucks for editing. It’s basically Windows Movie Maker for Linux in my opinion. I needed better tools and a real dynamic editing time line in order to make Windows dependence a thing of the past for me. Because up to this point, video editing was still a fact of life in many respects. And while I will need Windows for application review/involvement for work, on my time I’d prefer to leave it out of my life.

So what did I come up with?

  • Amazon changes cloud computing strategy with launch of Linux 2
    Amazon has released its own version of the open-source Linux operating system for enterprise customers who use its cloud offering – Amazon Web Services – which will run both on clients’ computers as well as in the cloud. This marks a shift in Amazon’s cloud computing strategy as it earlier did not allow similar operating systems to run on its clients’ servers, but rather on Amazon-owned data centres. Reports suggest the company will allow its cloud customers to rent access to its new operating system, which it calls Linux 2, but will also allow clients to install the new OS on its own servers.

  • Qt Cloud Messaging API Available for Embedded Systems
    Challenges with cloud messaging for embedded devices has inspired the Kaltiot & SnowGrains teams to create a cross-platform Qt API which enables easy push messaging from and to embedded devices. The API is called the Qt Cloud Messaging API and it is built with flexibility and extensibility in mind. We have decided to target other Qt areas, too, and make the API easily extensible to any service provider instead of being for embedded only. This enables developers to use the same API for both mobile and desktop development.
