Re: state of multimedia

Blender is not intuitive, nor is it a video file editor, but it is the best tool on linux for manipulating video, and it does support import of mpeg/avi/mov.  Most jobs that you can do with a cuts-only editor can be done in the sequencing window of Blender.  You probably won't find a time-stretch tool for video, as video is frame-based (there is an "add to clip" feature in Quicktime Pro on Mac OS that will do the job, but nothing similar on linux).  I've had the most success, other than Blender, with Kdenlive, although only on 32-bit...

The very best cheap (twenny bucks, yo) tool for this operation is Quicktime Pro.  Has anyone run the Windows version of Quicktime Pro under WINE?  Fixing sync issues is literally a two or three step operation:

1. trim audio

2. trim video

3. add to clip

Done!

I have blender but it is not intuitive to me how it can be used for
processing a track.

Afaict it does not have support for playing/importing mpg/avi/mov files.

It seems to me that it is not a video file editor, the equivalent of
trying to edit a wave file in a midi sequencer.
