open source non-linear editing system

[wildgrace]

For those just starting out in film you may want to check out http://www.jahshaka.org/.

It's an open source non-linear editing software. Looks like they are trying to make it stable and usable. I'm definitely keeping my eye on it.

And for a more obscure NLE, Zweistein has been available for some years already; now in its version 4 incarnation:

Win, Linux, OSX

I just had a look at both of these. i am a big fan of open source software.
I think Jahshaka looks really good, but there are a lot of bugs in it. But i am using the windows build. are there any other good opensource editing programs out at the moment?

what about an open sauce DVD authering program?

What's one of the most popular open source non-linear editing systems?

 

[TrueIndigo]

NLE on Windows platform:

Soon the open source version of Lightworks should be available: www.editshare.com


NLE on the Linux platform:

I've been experimenting with Kdenlive (I'm just familiarizing myself with it at the moment, but it seems very stable): www.kdenlive.org

I have tried Openshot which is a very promising newcomer, though lack of timeline waveforms for sound tracks (last time I looked) was a deal breaker for me: www.openshotvideo.com

No experience of PitiVi but it was being actively worked on last year (anyone actually used it?): www.pitivi.org


Some DVD authoring programs I've heard of on the Linux platform (but no personal experience of these): DVD Styler, Tovidgui, KDE DVD Authoring Wizard.
