To the right is a preview display, and the timeline waits for you to load clips at the bottom ( Figure 8).įigure 8: The user interface in Pitivi is oriented on popular editing programs as well.įor a new project, you can define the video settings via a template. The user interface in the Pitivi editing program is highly reminiscent of OpenShot: The area at the top left manages all the imported media in the middle, you can see the settings of the assigned effect. If needed, OpenShot will help you upload the movie you create directly to YouTube. Whereas OpenShot only lets you change the bit rate in fixed increments, Kdenlive lets you enter an arbitrary bit rate. However, unlike Kdenlive, OpenShot does not let you tinker with more intricate settings. Experts can configure the settings, such as the video codec. To export, you simply select a default, such as DVD or Blu-ray. ![]() In combination with Blender, OpenShot can create animated 3D titles. ![]() A wizard creates simple titles however, it needs to resort to the services of Inkscape to do so. There is no option for controlling via keyframes. Most effects, such as color correction, only offer rudimentary settings. The settings for the effects must be applied painstakingly in a separate window with a preview that is far too small. The built-in effects and crossfades are all designed for show, much as in LiVES, including effects for distortion, glowing, and simulating an old movie. On our lab machine running Ubuntu, it generated blocky artefacts and stripes in the preview. OpenShot 1.4.3 relies on GStreamer in the background to process movies. OpenShot can also split a clip at the time bar, but these are the only cutting tools. ![]() After you have dropped the clip into the timeline, you can use the matching tools to edit it. What makes this even more difficult is that the timeline does not allow you to work with to-a-frame accuracy. ![]() This process, however, only works on a single track: To align two clips, one on top of another, you have to push them around painstakingly with the mouse. Figure 7: OpenShot 1.4.3 with its clear-cut user interface is mainly targeted at video editing newcomers.
