Good open-source, non-linear video editor are still too rare in Linux Land.

Is this something that could be packaged for Salix/Slackware?

I can give it a shot the next days. Probably already tomorrow.

I also noticed the lack of powerful, free and easy to use audio/video editing software. For Audio there's at least Audacity, which though powerful, isn't exactly easy to use.
For videos I did not find something so far, as I mostly do video editing for and at school, where we work with a professional tool called FinalCut Pro.
This one looks like a promising and easy to use one, which could also make it a nice replacement for friends.
I did not know that video editing which doesn't destroy the sources, only stores the decisions made, was called non-linear, but that makes it superior to most software I've seen so far.

Do you know by chance a comparable audio editing counterpart?

I had taken a look at a similar app, pitivi, but unfortunately it needs a newer gst-python than the one in 13.0, which in turn needs a newer gstreamer than the one we have. So, I've postponed it for 13.1.

I hope Pat will bring a newer gtk for Slackware current. It's a showstopper for some software, too

Here you go:

http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... nvas/0.15/
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... as/0.14.1/
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... hot/1.0.0/

Feedback is welcome.
64-bit to come.

BTW I think I found a comparable audio editing counterpart: Jokosher.

Great!

Just installed it to try. First I didn't realize that I depended on pyxdg & it spat that funny error back at me:

Code: Select all

main[~]$ openshot 
Added /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.0.0)
--------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
Error:  OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.
(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)

Use the following command to install OpenShot:
  $ sudo python setup.py install

main[~]$ 

Once I installed pyxdg & also ffmpeg it started normally.

I imported a video file & played with it & tried things out but it died on me with a segfault, when I was applying some effect filter

Code: Select all

GenerateXML for an Effect
Erreur de segmentation

Yes, that's not exactly well done. It hides the actual error message about failed module loading and complains instead it hadn't found it's modules, while indeed it has.

Same here, some effects work, others segfault. But I don't know how to gain any additional information.

I already had a package lying round, when I wrote that message.

Haha, doubled work is always good
