Hey Lorenzo!
Thanks for reminding me about xjadeo - I should try if I can use that
tool to do the sync as well. Although Xjadeo does not play sound, right?
Because I usually use video camera audio as something that I am syncing
the external audio recording to.
No xjadeo is a video player synced to jack transport. I'm not sure if
you need to use the video camera audio for 1) editing the video itself
(e.g. dialogue) or 2) sync the music, fx etc. (i.e. stuff you would edit
in a music software).
1) obviously you need to do the video editing in your video editor, I
think cinelerra has among the best audio handling features (icluding
fader automation and audio plug-ins) out there..
2)
2.1 Extract just the audio of your edited video footage e.g. with
ffmpeg -i myvideo.mp4 only_audio.wav
2.2 Open only_audio.wav in e.g. ardour and add/mix, sync all the other
audio stuff
2.3 Open myvideo.mp4 (although check the xjadeo manual for best codecs
and options... in that case mencoder is your friend) and voilà...
I tried Cinelerra today from community PPA and the big problem with it
is that it does not read my format and I have no idea what to do here.
Same with Blender - it looks very promising and cool, but these encoding
problems are very tough.
Again I think ffmpeg is your friend (plus a bit of googling maybe and
the cinelerra-cv mailing list which now-a-days is rather active)

OpenShot may be unstable, but at least it
rarely has such troubles.
Maybe there is some way to make Cinelerra see all the formats?

Hi Louigi,

This is really a pity, because otherwise OpenShot is a great editor.
In light of my increasing video editing, I am sorry to say that I am
beginning to contemplate switching to Windows for video. I spent the
whole day today exploring video editing tools for Linux and it was a
total disappointment.
1. Tried promising *Lightworks*.

5. Tried *Avidemux* and some other video editor from the repos -
both
could not even open an mp4 file properly.
I'm not sure if that included Cinelerra. Cinelerra community version
[1] has recently regained momentum with lots of stuff going on. You
will most probably have to compile it (but that's relatively easy on
Ubuntu/Debian see [2] for an excellent guide), and it won't import
some formats out of the box.. but in my opinion it's worth a try. I
would keep ffmpeg ('original' version, not avlib) and mencoder handy
whichever software you use.
Also I'm not sure what your workflow for the gingle was, but for
audio such as sound-track, sound effects and so on (i.e. audio which
is not part of the video takes and editing cuts), I think using
ardour (or any jacktransport application) with xjadeo is a really
powerful workflow.
Have fun :-)
Lorenzo.
