Re: [opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.

Installation from a Blender download onto CentOS 7.x went flawlessly for me, even though CentOS isn't what you'd call cutting-edge for providing the latest libraries (or kernel).  There was just one dependency problem-- I had to pirate in a newer version of python--, this (I'm assuming) because either no shared libraries (excepting python) were needed or they were included (and specially or statically linked in) in the download.  Me, I'd willingly trade a larger package of code over dependency-frustrations... wish more packages would provide that option. While I've never used Blender for video editing, it's a rich and promising app and shouldn't be a major hassle to install and try out.  If the first attempt doesn't yield what you need, be sure to investigate the add-on libraries for additional functionality. hth, ken P.S. Please let us know how it goes for you if you do try it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
