I concur. The problem is that some distributions are rather picky when it comes to
non-free Codecs.
For that reason there came to be openartist, artistx, sahabuntu, dyne::bolic, younameit..
FWIW I stay with debian plus debian-multimedia for the non-free stuff; works just the same
if not better :)
Hi all.
I've been using UbuntuStudio for the past
couple of years and the video
editing software that came with it leaves much to be desired.
But you know, that you can install everything, that runs on Linux on any
Linux-Distro?
In my experience, what distro you use becomes lesser important nowadays
and that is good news. Even though not every distro is the same as
top-notch for audio/video any general-purpose distro is at least capable
to get things done. So I would not consider switching from a running
distro before I really know, that I cannot do, waht I want with the
system already installed...
Back to topic:
Thanks. While Richard has done a great job with OME. The JACK interface
and transport sync was implemented by yours truly.
Just curious if anyone's actually
producuctive with anything video and linux
related.
I do more and more video-stuff on Linux and most of the time I use OME -
openmovieeditor for it:

Richard Spindler has done a great job with integrating OME seamelessly
with jack. It really works great, including transport. OME uses to crash
from time to time but not the same as often as kdenlive and it is
lighter. The same as KDEnlive it has a desaster-recovery-mechanism it
simply stores its XML-projectfile contineously - that is: I never lost
more then ~10 seconds of work with any crash of it.
So in a word: if you want to edit video under Linux with an app
integrated in jack OME could be worth the try ;-)
I like OME a lot for smaller projects. The GUI is efficient and intuitive and it's got
all features to make a nice movie. Currently the only issue with it is the lack of
export-format-presets.
For more elaborate projects there's cinelerra (until lumiera is born) and Blender
which offers a 2D video-timeline as well.
And of course there are quite a few alternatives: pitivi, kino, kdenlive,.. A while ago I
started http://linuxfilm.org/start (hosting provided by linuxaudio.org!) - an index of
video-apps for GNU/Linux. It's currently being merged into and migrated to
http://openvideoalliance.org/wiki/
Non-Linear Video Editors (NLE) on GNU/Linux still leave a lot to be desired. However
it's not unheard of to make award winning films for renowned film-festivals on that
platform.
