Has anyone heard of, used or know how to get a copy of OpenMovieEditor? I have some mov files that I would like to edit and I have problems with the video part of most of the other programs. I would like to try openmovieeditor but cannot find an opensuse version. Would appreciate any help.

a little google comes up with: http://www.openmovieeditor.org/download.html

Open Movie Editor Packages for OpenSUSE are available through the Packman Repositories. (http://packman.links2linux.de/package/OpenMovieEditor)

When you activate the Packman repositories in the Package Tool of OpenSUSE, you can easily install Open Movie Editor. The Open Movie Editor Version in Packman is always quite up to date.

a little more googling or doc searching should get you to adding a repository fairly easily.

or from the same link you could pull down the source and compile for yourself, but that's not high on my recommendation list.

Thanks very much, but the packman repositories do not have any files. At least, I've not been able to locate any and that is why I emailed the list. I actually managed to get the source file but it failed when running make with the following error message:

"In file included from CurveEditorBezier.cxx:8:0: ../../src/VideoViewGL.H:43:19: error: ‘int64_t’ has not been declared"

I would be grateful if someone had a solution to this error or knew where I could obtained copy of an rpm version preferably opensuse version. I have come across a mandriva version but I couldn't make that work either.

Just out of curiosity, Eddie, are you aware that the latest demo video on YouTube for OME is Dec. 2009 and that the original developer has been on hiatus since about the same time? Also, the project hasn't yet attained anything close to a 'ver. 1.0' status; meaning the developer doesn't consider it to be a 'mature' or 'robust' package, yet. For these reasons, I would strongly recommend that you take a look at Cinelerra, which is also available at Packman. It is quite mature and well maintained with lots of features. There are also plenty of helpful and contemporary video tutorials available on YouTube. That's what got me 'over the hump' and able to use it. ;-) Once caveat: You'll probably need to to decompress / decode your source video files to raw .dv format, first, so you can work on them in 'native' mode in Cinelerra. Hint: If you also install Kino, it can open/import most popular video file formats. Kino is a great (crash prone, save often) non-linear digital video editor for basic projects. But it also automatically creates raw video .dv files in the same directory as the source while importing :-) The file it creates is 'native' to Cinelerra, so it can save you a lot of time experimenting with transcoders. It doesn't _always_ work, but it usually does. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
