Very basic video editing (delete, copy, paste) It won't win any usability awards but it is a simple, no-frills video editor that gets the job done. ffmpeg: for complimentary transcoding (I used the latest version compiled from source)īest free software video editing: Avidemuxįor video editing I recommend Avidemux: again, I explored lots of programs to do this on Linux but discovered that the state of video editing on Linux to be somewhat dismal currently.audacity: for audio capture and editing.avidemux: for video editing and encoding/decoding.That was the plan anyhow.Īfter surveying the various free software video editing tools (most sucked) available I selected the following for my video editing toolkit: Then I'd edit out the goofs, accelerate the boring parts and add narration. I'd shoot each section of the video as a separate "take", and stitch together the best cuts into a single video. When I realized this I decided to be practical and break down my production into bite sized chunks. As usual, I was having trouble because I was trying to do too many things at once, without willing to compromise on quality. I was finding it impossible to shoot the whole video in one take without major goofs in a reasonable amount of time while also narrating what I was doing.
