I personally like lives as I've found it very easy to use. Stability though isn't it's strong suit but it does recoup nicely from crashes since it saves your work and gives you the option to recover. --- On Mon, 11/8/10, joe@actionline.com wrote: From: joe@actionline.com Subject: What's the easiest-to-use video editor? To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Date: Monday, November 8, 2010, 3:25 PM . What is the easiest-to-use video editor? On my system, Synaptic lists more than a dozen different video editors that are available, only one of which shows as being installed, called mjpegtools ... but I can'y find it or how to start it. Among the others that appear as available to install are these: avidemux (plus a command line 'cli' option) bombono-dvd cinelerra dvd-backup fotowall gjacktransport gnonlin jahshaka kdenlive kino lives mlt mythtv openmovieeditor openshot pitivi wmwebcam I've read the Synaptic short descriptions for each of these, but can't figure out which one or two might be the best to try. All I want to do is to be able to import mp3 videos, cut out unwanted portions from the beginning, middle, and end to make them each one shorter, and then combine two or more into a single video. Also, I'd like to be able to add a title and perhaps captions to some segments; perhaps add or replace an existing audio track; and convert to whatever would be the most disk-space efficient format(s) for viewing either on youtube or as an embedded video on my website. What would y'all recommend? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
