Video editing in linux
I started with avidemux, which is capable of handling lots of formats. I’d call it a low level editor, it gives you power over many very basical things (such as containers, codecs and their settings (there are many settings)). It allows you to do some basic operations (but you have to be careful not to cut of the keyframes (or I-frames or whatever you like to call them), or transfer the whole video into something containing only I-frames if you want to edit it) but no effects and such.
Then I tried to install cinelerra, but I disliked at the first sight it is way too complex (at least for me, I am not going to spend the rest of my life learning how to manage a video editing program). In the near future I am going to try out diva and/or jahshaka. Diva seems really nice & easy, but jahshaka too. So I don’t know where to start… any suggestions?
