blender's sequence editor is what i use to edit videos in linux. I usually compile it since i found i get audio issues if i don't. But I've made two music videos using it and been paid for my work. granted blender's got a learning curve but more and more documentation is popping up since when I first started using it.

Unfortunately the state of NLE editors in Linux is very sad. Cinelerra looks powerful but can't stay running long enough for most purposes - even testing.

OpenShot is promising, but it has quirks too, and while editing HD video, the audio/video synchronization is not working. Audio plays fine, but video lags behind (on a Q6600 with 2GB RAM). It works at first, but when it happens, you're doomed, and no "undo" function...

PiTiVi is nice, but as a previous poster mentioned, you can't do any real work with it. We really need transitions and titles, at *least*.

KDENLive is nice, but it too has some stability issues - at least on my machine.

Oh well... Video Editing is one of the very few reasons that keep me from wiping my XP partition. I guess at some point in the future, things will be better - a few months back, I couldn't use my iPod Touch with Ubuntu, and now I can! :-)

What's interesting about this "review" is that PiTiVi can't actually do anything but link together video. I can do this with cat file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi > file4.avi.

Without transitions, clip editing, titles etc.. it's completely worthless.

A agree with comments about kdenlive, you should have really considered that app, whether you like KDE or not.

How can you write an essay about NLE editors for Linux without mentioning KDEnlive? Is it because it is a KDE app and won't integrate perfectly with GNOME or whatever, regardless of the fact that it is currently the best in its field (OSS NLE video editors, that is)?

Biased much?

Right now, KDEnlive is the best video editor on Linux.

My 8yr old and his friends who have macs have figured how to take their skateboard videos and edit them with no problem.

There is always need for more apps because what one adds, the others will soon after if its worth it... so we users benefit.

I am however more interested in the VLC one you mentioned which I wasnt aware of.
I am a huge VLC fan since back in my Win days so i am very excited by these news.

nowadays when I switch people to Mandriva Linux, ive already shown those people FF, OO, Thunderbird as well as VLC so it makes the transition easier. (as well as Skype, its not free software but people love it and it works well with video nowadays. VLC just works so im very psyched by this.

I used the search engine of the OpenShot Video Editor website, typed "mts" in the window and found the following link

http://www.openshotvideo.com/2009/07/avchd-h264-aac-and-mts-supported.html

It seems that OpenShot does already support AVCHD, H264, AAC and MTS since july 2009.

The new features in gstreamer are amazing and should really open doors for applications like Pitivi. I just hope that they are ready when Lucid comes out.
