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
