Video Editing

[niniendowarrior]

Hi,

I'm looking for a video editing solution on Linux. I have cinelerra installed and that hasn't worked out at all. It wouldn't open my videos and it kept crashing. I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy and hoping there's another software out there I can use.

You can try:
Lives http://lives.sourceforge.net/,
Kino http://www.kinodv.org/,
Kdenlive http://kdenlive.org/
Avidemux http://kdenlive.org/

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for in your video editing software, but Avidemux has served me well for chopping up videos (mostly removing commercials and adjusting sync). It works well with all the (non-HD) video I've had.

Basically, I need a software to import my video files and allow me to edit and splice video and audio streams. Something that Pinnacle Video Spin or Windows Movie Maker allows me to do.

I was thinking of Lives but don't really know if it does what I want. Kino, I think is for transferring videos from a DV cam to your PC. Not sure.

Thanks for all the input.

Edit:

Just installed avidemux. So far it looks promising, except when it loaded my video, I only got a green screen. The video plays on mplayer with this:
Selected video codec: [fraps] vfm: vfw (FRAPS: Realtime Video Capture)
