I am taking an Education Technology class, to learn how to use technology in the classroom. Our last assignment was to make a movie using Windows Movie Maker. Since I have dumped windows and I couldn't find a movie maker type application for Linux, if anyone knows of one please let me know, I busted out the G3 iBook and used iMovie. While doing the project my professor gave us time to work in class, and every computer crashed repeatedly, I just surfed the net since I had already finished mine on my 500mhz G3 with no crashing. But just as predicable as all other windows apps, you could count on after doing about 5-7 minutes of work your computer was going to lock up tight. I know predictability is great but I don't want to count on my computer crashing every few minutes. |

Ever hear of Kino? Try this link: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6631 it's from Linux Journal. Right now nothing is coming up from that site. I scanned the article when it was published and there was some disagreement as to how ready the software really was in subsequent comments. It's been quite a period since it was published, hence, it may have improved considerably. |

Here is a better link, to the Kino site directly: http://www.kinodv.org/article/static/2 |

Recently, I converted a bunch of the local high school football team's mini-DV tapes of their games to DVD. Tried a bunch of things before realizing I was adding useless decoration to what should be a home-movie-like keepsake. 'dvdauthor' and Gimp turned out to provide almost everything I needed for -that- project. Here are some video editing links picked up along the way: http://lives.sourceforge.net/ http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ (avidemux may already be installed on your distro) http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3 (if you wanna get *serious* :) http://linux.box.sk/codebox.links.php?&key=videotools http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialVideo.html (has some old info mixed in) http://www.videohelp.com/tools?s=23#23 (needs updating) http://radagast.bglug.ca/linux/dvd_authoring/dvd_authoring.h... (DVD authoring, not movie making) http://www.tappin.me.uk/Linux/dvd.html (more on dvd authoring) Just like other jobs, sometimes a GUI tool fits best and sometimes a CLI tool fits best. |
