pitivi：PiTIVi provides several ways of creating and modifying a timeline. Ranging from a simple synopsis view (a-la iMovie) to the full-blown editing view (aka Complex View) which puts you in complete control of your editing.Other interfaces can be added via the plugin system, aimed at more specific uses like a SlideShow creator or a subtitling editor. It is even possible to use pitivi without a user interface in order to do batch rendering.
kdenlive ：Kdenlive is a non linear video editor for the KDE environment running on Linux. It is based on the MLT video framework which relies on the FFMPEG project.The project was initially started by Jason Wood in 2002, and is now maintained by a small team of developers. Kdenlive is available in English, French, German, Dutch, Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian and Catalan.
(Chong Kai Xiong: Kdenlive 0.5 crashed too often and too quickly for me during tests to be usable at all. This may be fixed in the latest 0.7 beta.)
cinelerra：Cinelerra does primarily 3 main things: capturing, compositing, and editing audio and video with sample level accuracy. It's a seamless integration of audio, video, and still photos rarely experienced on a web server.Its crash prone, resource hungry, and really weirdly put together, but if when it works, it does a good job.
(Chong Kai Xiong:Cinelerra couldn't import most of the video samples I had when I tried many months ago. The problem could be due to Fedora-specific packaging guidelines (to.avoid patent licensing issues) and may not apply to you.)
OpenMovieEditor: Open Movie Editor is designed to be a simple video editor, that provides basic movie making capabilities. It aims to be powerful enough for the amateur movie artist, yet easy to use. The downside with OpenMovieEditor is that it only supports PAL at this point. （PAL system ）
mainactor (Commercail Software for Window and LINUX)
Cinepaint
Openmovieeditor
Avidemux
Lumiera (Chong Kai Xiong:It is an independent rewrite of Cinelerra.)
Blender:Blender is an all-in-one 3D modelling and animation suite. It can be used to produce computer-generated images and movies. It is open source freeware, so it costs nothing to use. It is available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.（Arhou 強力推薦） (Chong Kai Xiong: Blender also comes with a usable video sequence editor (VSE) you can use for non-linear video editing. * Manual: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Video_Sequence_Editing * Tutorial: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Video_Sequence_Editor
If you wish to have some artistic fun creating elaborate video compositions using graph setups, you might find the node editor very tasty: * Tutorial: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Nodes_Tutorial_Ref * Manual: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Compositing One serious drawback I do notice with Blender's VSE is that previews require good hardware to play in real-time. Adobe Premiere, on the other hand, spends time pre-rendering the preview segment into a file and plays it back from there. There is no support for text overlays for making subs either. You must create text objects in the 3D editor and compose them into your video, or use external subtitling software. See this page for some information: * http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Working_with_VSE）
Istanbul:(Chong Kai Xiong:Istanbul works okay, but needs decent processing power to sample the recording area and compress the recorded video in real-time.)
Byzanz
(Chong Kai Xiong:A more elaborate approach is to enable VNC on your X.org server and connect a VNC client like vncrec to record screen updates. After that, transcode the recording into video with mencoder or Transcode, or Flash with vnc2swf. All steps performed require the use of the command line :p * Screen recording with vncrec: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~bsd/vncrecording.html * vnc2swf: http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/) Platform and LIVE CD
Ez Go 6：台灣OSSACC 作的國民電腦體驗版，此版本最主要是配合教育部國民電腦專案推行，所以在視窗風格選擇上我們以適合中小學生的edubuntu佈景主題，並且加強教育及益 智遊戲類軟體的收錄；而九月版的EzGo6，我們則是針對更廣大的使用族群，採用ubuntu studio的現代化設計，以及規劃了Windows下也可以使用的跨平台自由軟體體驗，讓您可以用更多元的方式來體驗自由軟體。
