The problem is that some distributions are rather picky when it comes to non-free Codecs. For that reason there came to be openartist, artistx, sahabuntu, dyne::bolic, younameit.. FWIW I stay with debian plus debian-multimedia for the non-free stuff; works just the same if not better :) > Back to topic: > > >> Just curious if anyone's actually producuctive with anything video and linux >> related. > > I do more and more video-stuff on Linux and most of the time I use OME - > openmovieeditor for it: > > http://news.openmovieeditor.org/ > > Richard Spindler has done a great job with integrating OME seamelessly > with jack. It really works great, including transport. Thanks. While Richard has done a great job with OME.

The GUI is efficient and intuitive and it's got all features to make a nice movie. Currently the only issue with it is the lack of export-format-presets. For more elaborate projects there's cinelerra (until lumiera is born) and Blender which offers a 2D video-timeline as well. And of course there are quite a few alternatives: pitivi, kino, kdenlive,.. A while ago I started http://linuxfilm.org/start (hosting provided by linuxaudio.org!) - an index of video-apps for GNU/Linux. It's currently being merged into and migrated to http://openvideoalliance.org/wiki/ Non-Linear Video Editors (NLE) on GNU/Linux still leave a lot to be desired. However it's not unheard of to make award winning films for renowned film-festivals on that platform. >> >> Thanks. >> >> -Aaron >> Cheers! robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
