"I often ask myself what the current state of video editing is for free and open source software (FOSS). Here are my thoughts. I've spent many years in the visual effects (VFX) industry from the perspective of being either an artist, compositor, video editor, or systems engineer. (I've even got film creds on IMDB!) In the past, I had the pleasure of cutting on, training people on, setting up, and supporting Avid Media Composer, the cream of the crop of professional real-time video editing tools for film and TV alike—at least before things like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere became useful enough to professionals."

Looks like KDEnlive gets its effects from other packages, which he didn’t have installed.

I've been using OpenShot in the past and have been quite happy with it. The first time I used it, it took me 5min to load a video, overlay it with music and generate the final video - without reading any manual. Found the GUI very intuitive for a novice.

For live editing I recommend checking out DVswitch. We used it at lca2015 for filming the speakers. Able to switch between camera and monitor capture with number shortcuts. Other features include pic-in-pic. Link: http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ Cheers, William On 21/01/2015 2:00 PM, "Peter Reutemann" <fracpete(a)waikato.ac.nz> wrote:
