Linux Video Editing
Previously, I have been involved in supporting NLE (non linea video editing) Most recently with an RT2000 and Adobe Premier on Win2k. (that dates things a little...)
It was very annoying when - having been used to iron the bugs out of it, a new version - RT2500 - was released without even an upgrade price as thanks for the hassle that users went through... The combination of Matrox RT2000/Premier was abominable - a constant state of crashes and corruped projects on a dedicated system. Whilst I have heard the RT2500 and above, and Premier as it currently stands - is now fantastic in terms of reliability.
Anyway - what has this got to do with Linux? Well, I'm not a zealout (though I am a fan) of Linux. I am a fan of using the right tool for the job, whatever it is based on.
There was a slashdot post today that eventually pointed me to the linuxartist site video section. What used to be Broadcast 2000 when it was younger seems to have matured very nicely into Cinelerra. It looks extremely functional. I would be interested in poeoples thoughts on it however.
I like the renderfarm idea that goes with it.
