Blender, though I have used KDEnlive for some time.

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".

notKlaatu 01-21-2017 11:52 PM

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

Or... we could have a single huge list of all FOSS software where you could vote for as many apps as you want. And then anyone could grep the list to create sub-lists however they want :D
