Howto: Install Cinelerra Video Editor and Compositor in Ubuntu Linux Hardy Heron
Today, I was bored, and I decided to look around for a good video editor for linux, I dont know much about video editing and would like to learn a great deal more, here is a screenshot of CinelerraI just downloaded and finished installing cinerella, it looks like an old app, but I see that it is packed with plenty of special effects to add to your video's/movies. It looks a bit more powerful than avidemux. What I did was load up a divx movie and encoded the whole movie as a oil painting lol, it looks pretty cool, you can also add flames and other neat things to the video.
Here is some documentation to learn more about cinerella and what it does.
Here is an easy howto to install Cinelerra so you can be on your way editing videos...
For Hardy Heron add this repository in your sources list use the following terminal command:sudo wget http://repository.akirad.net/dists/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
For Gutsy Gibbon add this repository in your sources list use the following terminal command:sudo wget http://repository.akirad.net/dists/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
Installations from this repository need an authentication key. Add it by typing in your terminal the following command:wget -q http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad.key -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
Now lets install Cinelerra:sudo apt-get install cinelerra-generic
Cinelerra must be set to work with PulseAudio. Open Cinelerra and go to Settings->Preferences->Playback->Audio Driver. Select ESound and set the following parameters:
Server:blank
Port: 7007
Now that Cinelerra is installed you can access it via Applications->Sound & Video->Cinelerra
There is some great howto's/tutorials for Cinelerra here
