Kdenlive review
Update (03/01/2012): I’ve recently begun using Cinelerra and while it’s a pain to build/install, I’ve found it more apt for advance video editing. Especially, you can reverse video in it, something that seems it will take a lot of work in Kdenlive. I’ll try to do a post on it in the near future.
As some of you know, Kdenlive is a free and open source video editor. As of lately, I have really enjoyed working with it and am impressed at its feature set. The best part of it is that time line view is quite intuitive. Furthermore, you can do your basic text clips and mask different clips together in interesting ways. One unique thing I found out recently is the ability to create your own masks so for example, you could have a background video of say of some fire and then create a smiley face mask on another video so that the video on top has this fire-filled smiley face (see how to) . Also, there is many audio and video effects you can apply to your clips.
Granted it’s not perfect and you may encounter a bug or two, but for your basic editing and some cool effects/transitions, it’s awesome. I am in the process of exploring it more, but as of now, you can check out some videos I made using kdenlive.
