We are finally going to replace our VHS-C Camcorder, with a Digital Camcorder, tomorrow. Looking for suggestions, for Digital Video Editor to use on CentOS 5.2. Preferably, something in the CentOS or RPMForge repositories and easy to use. TIA!
Hi Lanny,
Cinelerra. It is very powerful, and Dag kindly added to his repo quite sometime ago.
The only "problem" is that, because it is so powerful and feature rich, learning curve is very steep. I have yet to learn it myself but I already know its capabilities through my best Linux friend who is an expert in video editing.
Hi again,
If your camcorder connects to the computer through firewire, there is one caution: kino may not be able to see the firewire port under CentOS. More details are in this forum thread:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id...
In there, I (toracat) admit that my workstation that handles our camcorder is still running FC6. This was for other reasons, but now that I know kino does not work on CentOS (with its firewire support), I cannot make the switch.
Just wanted to give you some heads up.
Akemi
