Feature changed by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #311439, revision 2 Title: have a decent linear video editor openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When searching why I still switch to Windows, I have little answers but two or three. One of them is having a decent video editor, like this proprietary one: http://www.magix.com/us/ (cost only approx $100), - extrremely powerfull. We already have some editors (Kdenlive, kino, - openshot, openmovie, blender) + extremely powerfull. We already have some editors (Kdenlive, kino, + openshot, openmovie, blender, cinelerra) Use Case: To edit the 11.4 tutorials I had to use Magix. No Linux editor could do the same without crashing every 10 minutes... and I really dislike making openSUSE tutorials with a proprietary software Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: On my opinion, we are not that far of the result, but may be we would have to give 2/3 more developpers to the right project. for now I see three capable projects: * kdenlive, the kde editor. It's the most promising, but for some years now it's still excessively buggy. Not even able to save and load correctly a project! * blender. Blender have a very special interface, so I couldn't really test it, but the Blender developpers use to be extremely fine, so I trust them. I will try it more, but may be need to buils a doc in the mean time * cinelerra. let alone because it may be the older project, and said to be very fine for it's goal. Used to ask for enormous amount of power (cluster of 100 machines) and specially fitted to jpeg movy editor, very professional, may be too much for the average :-( So we need one and we can have one if we devote some manpower to it -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311439
