Video Authoring Application of the Year
 

What do you use to create and edit video?

Kino. Hop, the job is done.

No PiTiVi??? It's very easy to use and gets what I need done.

PiTiVi has been added.

Cinelerra
 

I'm voting for cinelerra this time because it is the only non-linear video editor that
meets somewhat advanced requirements. All effects are keyframeable, it can use alpha-masks,
also with keyframes (to pixelize peoples faces for example). And so on ...

Yes, it is fiddly. Yes, the developer guy seems to be a bit strange person.
But it speaks for itself that, after all those years, there's still no other
editor that can compete, feature wise.

btw. does ffmpeg go as "video authoring application" ?

kdenlive is getting a lot better.

Imagine. ?

Just love deleting commericals out of TV recordings with AVIDEMUX!

Sorry to say this but Windows Movie Maker on my virtualbox XP is better than all those on the list.

FFmpeg

Where is mencoder?

I go with Kino, even though the author seems to have not updated it in awhile to use pulse. It's SIMPLE to use. I like simple.

Avidemux.

Voted for OpenShot, since I heard some good things about it from the Syndicated News forum. Regardless, PiTiVi is my second choice.

I'm wondering what you guys think the best program for editing family videos and burning them to DVD's is? It would be nice if it was easy enough for my mum to use as well.
