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!
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.
Akemi: Thank you for the recommendation and for the caveats! Sounds like "The GIMP" for the power and the long learning curve. We don't have Firewire so that's not a problem. I looked at their web site for a minute and some of the documentation is available in Spanish, which is a big plus for my wife. She can become our expert, if we go with Cinelerra. I'm going to try to get it with Yum now. Lanny
