@carlosinfl What do you use to edit the video? I am a video editor who loves Linux and isn't an Apple fan but is forced to use OS X because of Final Cut. I wish I could find a great Linux alternative.

[thisweekinlinux]

@AlanJames1987 I use Kdenlive to edit all my videos. I've put out several video tutorials on getting started with it, if you'd care to check those out (playlist available on my channel)

@AlanJames1987

Imo...There really isn't a good video editor for linux yet. But when you MUST use linux I can recommend only two:

Kdenlive and Openshot. Both of them have horrible problems but are more than adequate for simple cutting and pasting. I personally prefer Kdenlive. It's one of the applications which brings me back to KDE whenever I return to Gnome for its polish.

[thisweekinlinux]

@DaRealFasih I've used Kdenlive exclusively for over a year now. I do a decent amount with it (though I wouldn't call myself a professional) -- using transitions, compositing, cutting/pasting, like you said, and fixing some minor problems with video (audio levels, brightness, color balance).

There are definitely some issues with it, but I've compared it to Windows apps like Adobe Premiere Elements and Sony Vegas, and for me, Kdenlive is easier to use and can do the same things.

@thisweekinlinux

Well I haven't used Kdenlive for a while now. Last time I remember it crashing on me quite often. But that was more than a year ago. Now that KDE is much better too, I should try Kdenlive again. (another excuse to install the new Pardus) I also felt a bit sluggish for me. Then again I find it much easier to use than PiTiVi for instance.

Of course, featurewise I don't think it's up there with the likes of Final Cut or Avid. But at least the interface is much better than Avid.

[thisweekinlinux]

@DaRealFasih with version 0.7.8, a lot of the "crashiness" went away. I've had a few quirky issues with it, but nothing major, and I don't think it's crashed on me at all.

You know, I don't think I've ever actually used Final Cut or Avid. I've tried iMovie, but that's not something to compare to really.

[Tununias]

You have white teeth. I know because I watched the video in 1080p.

[lovedecake]

I feel awful watching this on my new iPod touch.

[madjunir]

i saw a video of the eeenote and it looks great, it would be a real substitute for paper and pen. Great for classrooms (which i think is the objective). Is cheaper too

Is different from the ipad, because the ipad is for entertainment

4:06 Wtf?

[librano]

@anonix27 I guess that's why Google wants to find them first :P

[anonix27]

@librano

I read that too, but I don't think that there are a lot of them out there.
