I feel quite good about Kdenlive, as of their .8 release. I think it's fine for first timers and yes, it would help a lot with getting people to generate video content. I've been using it in production at the production institute i work at, and it's been great, and already i'm working on screencasts about blender and emacs and anything else that inspires me. In short, yes it's gotten good, and yes I think it can inspire users to do cool stuff. -- klaatu > On Mon, 2011-10-24 at 10:23 -0400, Ben Williams wrote: > > no computer lab will be available but i can always make live DVDs for > > the participants to use with their computers so downloading will not be > > needed > > Okay that would be fantastic.
