|
|
Hi Gentoo users, videophiles and audiophiles in particular!
On my usual Gentoo high, I've decided it is necessary to do some fairly intensive video editing on my box. As it was built for physics simulations I've got an intel i7, 16 Gib of ram and not much else. I'm assuming a high(er) end video card is a must. Recommendations?
Then there is the actual software. Are there satisfactory open source projects? I've had openshot installed in the past but I recall it being a bit crashy. Are there better alternatives?
A large mechanical hard drive will also be part of the package for video storage/working area. Are any particular file systems recommended.
Video source will be from GoPro or similar. I'm assuming that I should be able to at least rip the video of the thing.
Thank you for any advice! _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |

I'm not picky but I've seen people recommend XFS for dedicated video editing drives.
kdenlive is pretty easy to pick up but I've had similar experiences as above, it's hard to make it produce decent output and it uses a weird backend that's a sort-of-abstraction-over-but-not-compatible-with ffmpeg. Blender does video editing too, if you can stomach it. |
