With my Nikon Coolpix 7900 I can record short movies. But how could I edit them in my Fedora Core 5?
Video editing on Fedora/*nix is something I've been meaning to look into for some time now. One editing program out there is "Avidemux". I successfully downloaded and compiled it (on FC5). Had to install a lot of devel packages to get it to handle the many different formats out there. Still trying it out, but it seems to be a (very) basic editor - cut, paste, import/export, etc - but no star-wipes or special effects. If anyone is interested, I built a RPM from the tarball but I must *stress* the fact that this is the first RPM I have ever built from source, and had to tweak the tarball to do so. Specifically, I altered the .spec file and tarball name to correctly reflect the version (avidemux2-2.1.2), and the configure script to provide "/usr/include" for the default location for jsapi.h. The RPM can be found here: http://cr33.is-a-geek.com/rpms/avidemux2-2.1.2-7.i386.rpm along with the src RPM and debug RPM here: http://cr33.is-a-geek.com/rpms/ So, I guess this post has two purposes: 1 - Heikki: I hope this helps you out 2 - Would others check the RPM out and see if it's OK? One thing about the RPM that I don't understand is the "-7" added to "2.1.2" - if someone could shed light on that...? I'm looking for something heavier than avidemux, but it does seem like a nice, lightweight editor - useful for basic stuff. Chris
