Video Authoring Application of the Year
Based on feedback, this category has made a return after a multi-year hiatus.
--jeremy |
Blender, though I have used KDEnlive for some time.
|
OpenShot
|
I use mpeg2schnitt and DVDStyler for video authoring.
|
Lightworks, but it's not open source still. So, Kdenlive.
|
I use Blender for modeling and animation,
Pitivi for simple video editing, and LiVES when Pitivi isn't enough. ... I guess I'll vote Blender, because it's the most complex in terms of what it does and it's constantly evolving with new features and stuff. Also, I think Synfig might be worth adding to the next edition of the poll, since it seems to be the leading 2D animation suite for Linux. |
I became familiar with Pitivi while writing my book, Energize Education through Open Source. I have found it to be versatile and capable.
|
I voted Avidemux but I use ffmpeg in terminal quite a lot particularly for conversions. I have a short script using ffmpeg to turn edited video files to mp4 to save space.
|
^ looking at it this way i guess i'd have to vote ffmpeg, too.
there's nothing like the command line for a simple task like cutting a video in half. bonus: i can see what it's doing "under the hood": re-encoding or just copying? big difference! gui apps often hide too much "confusing info" from the "end user". |
I'd argue that simple cuts to video, conversion, and compression are not "video authoring". But the term is loose, so I guess there's room for interpretation. Maybe a straight up category for "Non-Linear Video Editor" would be good, next year (not that even that term is very good, since video editing is inherently non-linear, but at least most of the world agrees what NLE means).
|
^ soon we'll have a separate poll for every FOSS application out there :D
