What about the Linux user? Is there a comparable product that can allow a Linux desktop user to edit and produce video. There is and it's called Kino

This new version of free and open source video editor brings several new features, including improved user intergace, proxy clips, audio monitoring, HDMI output, new effects and more.

I have yet to see a decent article on using video with Linux, so I thought I would write one. I’ve been working with video and posting my clips on YouTube using Windows Movie Maker 2. It is an adequate program, but I’d like to find something that could be as good or better in Linux. Could I pull it off? Follow along and see…

Video editing under GNU/Linux is actually dirt simple, but too many people are scared off of video editing under GNU/Linux when they see the user interfaces for complex programs like Cinelerra or The Open Movie Editor or KDEnlive. Fortunately, Kino offers an easy solution, and this article steps you through the process of getting started.

OpenShot video editor is one of the best video editor available for Linux platform. The development has been really fast and the video editor has come a long way.

The video editor is developed by Jonathan Thomas. The new version comes with lots of features:

If you think that my glowing review of Kdenlive last week was perhaps a bit premature. And you’d be right. Instability is one thing, but when I found that I could not export my hour-long video to file or DVD without losing audio sync I had to move on — interestingly enough right back to Kino.

LiVES mixes realtime video performance and non-linear editing in one professional quality application. It will let you start editing and making video right away, without having to worry about formats, frame sizes, or framerates.

Free software for video is currently in sad shape. The only two widely distributed free video editing programs, Kino and Cinelerra, are nowhere near as capable as competing commercial software

A short while ago I wrote a review about Open Movie Editor. Essentially this review was written after a couple of hours testing various video clips and assessing the functionality within OME. Now, I can write about what OME is like on a real editing assignment.

Recently I was given a DVD full of PAL DV material and asked to create a compilation from the individual clips. A fun little project that should only take a day or two. Open Movie Editor was the obvious tool for the job.

The good news I can report is that even after 10 to 12 hours of constant video editing, OME is still a very stable piece of software.
