Brian,

To be precise, I an running 14.04.5 LTS.

You have a good point about Openshot. Version 1.3.4 is the latest in the
repositories, so I downloaded 2.4.1, and will give that a try.

The latest version of Kino is in the Ubuntu repositories. It is just not
intuitive to me, so I need a tutorial.

Pitivi is at 0.93 in the repositories, and 0.98 is the latest. However, I
have to install that using flatpack of flapjack(?), and there is nothing in
the repository for that for Ubuntu 14.04 - only 16.04.

I have been resisting the upgrade to 16.04 because I don't want to spend a
lot of time fixing all the resulting broken stuff. I keep my system updated
on a weekly basis. I may have to bite the bullet.

Thanks!

Mark

Your biggest problem is going to be finding a decent video editor with such
and old linux install.  I would recommend kdenlive, but they only have
current versions in their PPA for versions of ubuntu going back to 16.04
(Xenial).
You might do OK with a version of kdenlive from 14.04, but it was a little
fairly rough back then, and it's come a long long way in the last 4 year.

For video, you'll want to get some recent versions of whatever software you
find as video editing in general has come a long way in recent years, and
most video editors are based off the same core libraries (ffmpeg and the
MeLT framework)

I have some clips and jpgs I need to combine in to a movie. Simple
stuff...jpg as title at the start, fade into first clip, fade into
shortened version of second clip. Boost audio tracks as needed. I am
running an uptodate Ubuntu 14.04 from system 76.

I tried openshot...crashed twice.

Tried Pitivi-ei-ei-o. The controls from the track headers are missing and
it crashed, too.

Looked at Kino. It does not seem to fit my model for editing. I am looking
for a playback window, some tracks to add my content, and controls to
manage the tracks. Any good and short tutorials? Really don't want to spend
months on this project!

Thanks!

Mark
