So has anyone gotten lightworks to actually.. work? I tried it and it was a nightmare. 100% pulseaudio usage playing a stereo ac3 file, bursts of static, all sorts of random crazy stuff. It seemed amazing in theory, I was ready to shell out money for it, but upon trying it didn't seem like it was worth the $0 I paid for the trial.

I've been looking for a Non-Linear Editor on Linux, and so far the only one that has actually been functional isn't editing software, it's Blender.

My needs are fairly basic, but it seems like Blender is pretty robust, and best of all it doesn't crash when you do something more taxing than moving the mouse... :roll:

Here's a youtube series going through using Blender as a video editor which I've found useful: EDIT - see fixed YT link one entry below. And thanks for that! :)

Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that kdenlive does not work well on Gentoo.

I also note that there is no video editor listed in the Recommended Applications:

should there be?

I've tried media-video/openshot and it worked. I mean for simple stuff it works just fine. And I'm not good enough at doing complex stuff anyway :)

All the pitivi related version bumps (and pitivi bump itself) should be in tree by now, afaik. So could also retry that for the TS/AVCHD stuff that had problems earlier for OP

I've been using Kdenlive in the past and it worked fine for me. Now I have Lightworks installed some time, for a while it would not load because of libjpeg.so.8 missing, I'm still loading it with LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libjpeg.so.8 but it works. Tried it for simple edits and so far it works fine. The only issue I have with it is that the simplicity of the GUI is intimidating ...

For me too

Just avoid the conflict ffmpeg / libav
And have fun :)

I just installed it yesterday and make my first video with a HD quality from my bloogie (mp4 )
I did try cinelerra since one full week but had headache to convert my mp4 video to match cinelerra .
Gentoo seems to be out to date with the cinelerra ebuild :?


In openshot I still did not find how to incrust a video like pip
