[ubuntu-studio-devel] [Blueprint ubuntustudio-video-x] ubuntustudio-video X

[ttoine]

Pitivi is being completely rewriten and the current 0.94 is miss a few
thing, and is quite stable.

Openshot is not stable, that it a real issue. Otherwise it would be a good
alternative to iMovie.

Blender can be very interesting, but it needs some preparation to really be
focused on Video. (I mean, if you want to use it just for that, and have
quite the same look'n feel than other NLE). A good solution could be to
integrate the Blender Velvets in Ubuntu Studio:
http://blendervelvets.org/

This is a set of Blender plugins to add, that will correct keyboard
shorcuts, add Ardour sync for complete audio edition, and other very useful
addons, focused on video editing.

What do you think of this idea ?
