    GLMixer

    GLMixer

    Graphic Live Mixer

    GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued, but a new tool is on the making: https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/

    VidePub

    VidePub

    DVB Video editor

    This softwares allows splitting of TV recordings (MPEG2 TS or H264 TS) with an helping tool to detect commercials with a fast search of sequences containing the channel logo. During films or series, TV channels often display a logo on the corner of the screen, and this logo generally disappears during commercials. Therefore, you just have to isolate sequences with the logo to clean the movie. Of course, the tool has all the necessary functions to manually adjust the sequence on a frame-by-frame basis. The sequences are saved in the input format (no reencoding), therefore it's very fast. To reencode, you'll have to use another tool (there are a lot available on the web). The logos can be stored as presets to be automatically reused each time you process a movie from the same channel. Now a full user manual is available.

Open Source Non-Linear Video Editing Software Guide

Open source non-linear video editing software is a great way to edit videos without breaking the bank. This type of video editing software allows users to make changes and customizations quickly, starting with the basics of trimming and cutting to more advanced options like compositing, color correction, and more. Open source solutions are different from commercial software in that they are free to use. This means they do not come with additional costs or restrictions that often accompany paid programs.

The idea behind open source is that any user can customize the program as much as they want in order to create something unique and tailored for their needs. Developers around the world contribute their own code to improve existing features or add new functionality, meaning that this type of software has an ever-growing number of capabilities and applications. One example of open source non-linear video editing software is Kdenlive, which offers multiple audio and video tracks, various cuts and transitions, plus effects such as blurring, cropping, tinting or zooming among other features.

Using open source solutions also means you won't run into compatibility issues when using files from another program or platform since these programs are cross-platform compatible you can easily share your projects between different systems without having to worry about compatibility problems down the line. The best part is that many of these open source programs also have active online forums with helpful advice on how best to get maximum benefit out of them; so if there's ever an issue you can always refer back to these helpful communities online who should be able to provide assistance.

Getting Started With Open Source Non-Linear Video Editing Software

Getting started with open source non-linear video editing software can seem daunting at first, but the process is pretty straightforward. First, you need to download a program like Kdenlive or OpenShot. Both programs are available for free download and provide great options for creating and editing your own videos.

Once you have downloaded the software, you will want to familiarize yourself with the interface of the program you selected. Most programs are laid out similarly so they shouldn’t be too hard to navigate once you take some time to look through the menus and options available. Once familiarized with the layout, then it's time to start learning more about how to use all the features available in each program.

If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed with all of the features then maybe try taking a tutorial on YouTube or something similar for a better understanding of all your video editing options before diving too deep into something advanced and end up getting lost in it all.

Next step would be learn how each feature of your program works which could take some practice depending on how comfortable you're feeling after taking tutorials or trying things out as different effects might require experimenting along with some guidance from tutorials so that it matches what style of video editings you're looking for while also understanding what every aspect does when implementing them onto a clip or project file.

The last step is probably going to be doing small test clips/projects which could help solidify what has been learned and make sure everything looks good before publishing online by testing various effects and using sound effects as well if need be during post production stages, this way it helps get accustomed to everything such as adding transitions between clips, placing subtitles over clips, etc.

Once those steps and processes become natural then creating videos should become easier over time as long being willing to learn from mistakes throughout creating projects plus brushing up on techniques via tutorials can help embark any type creative project successfully when using these open source non-linear video editing softwares.
