Author Topic: AV-Linux - digital video and audio editing (for preparing dcp's) Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-28-2014 01:26 AM                        If any of you find folks is in need of a free and rather overwhelming suite of audio and video editing software, take a look at this: AV-Linux It comes as a live disk image that you can boot from DVD or thumb drive and use without having to actually install it on your computer. You can also install it onto your hard drive if you want to. If you go with the live cd boot option, you can use it without interfering with your existing operating system (whatever it may be). I have it running under Oracle Virtual Box on my computer. Haven't played with it much yet but it looks like it'll do everything including putting out the cat.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-29-2014 01:01 PM                     Which version/file did you download from the ftp site, or did you use the bit torrent site? thx-Monte  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-29-2014 01:35 PM                        I downloaded it using the bittorrent and ended up with this file: avlinux6.0.3-xfce410-pae-i386-en.iso  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-29-2014 06:15 PM                     I'm a little surprised at the lack of a 64-bit version. Everything they mention exists in 64-bit Debian so porting this would take almost no effort. The customized menus would remain unchanged and they'd simply enable the 32-bit architecture to allow installing the remaining software that isn't available in 64.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 05-29-2014 08:14 PM                        There is also lightworks a professional non linear editing suite that has Linux versions. Made by Hollywood editors.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-29-2014 08:36 PM                        AVLinux is $280 cheaper than lightworks (unless you're satisfied with 720p resolution).  |  IP: Logged
