Open Movie Editoris afreeopen-sourcenon-linearvideo editing and post-processing program forLinux,and included in the Ubuntu[2]and Debian[3]repositories.
Per the website, the design intent is "for basic movie making capabilities. It aims to be powerful enough for the amateur movie artist, yet easy to use." The developer previously had worked on the Cinelerra project, but started the Open Movie Editor project when he started making amateur films because he felt the available software wasn't meeting his needs.[4]
A unique feature of Open Movie Editor is that it supportsJACK's transport control functionality, which allows you to synchronize sound with other JACK transport-aware apps. This makes it particularly powerful for soundtrack production, for example.[5]Open Movie Editor supports theFrei0rplugin framework for video and audio effects. It uses the Gmerlin audio/video library and primarily exports toQuickTimeformats, but will also natively useffmpegfor rendering options.[5]It natively supports theDV AVIType 2 format, which is also supported by a number of video editing applications for Windows.[6]
Its last release to date is dated 05 Jan 2009. The developer announced 08 Dec 2009 on hisblogthat he had to "reschedule OME into a lower priority class," putting the project seemingly in the same situation asCineFXandKino.
Movie editor could also be used as a source for editing videos.
