#OPEN SOURCE VIDEO EDITOR SOFTWARE FOR MAC HOW TO#

I've installed and tested a number of tools before overcoming my fear of learning how to edit video in Blender. They are not Hollywood big, production ready strides but they are useful enough for what I need to do which is basically a bunch of build training and demo videos as Senior Systems Engineer for Red Hat's Systems Engineering EngOps team. That being said, there are some strides being made to bridge this gap, as I discovered over the last few weeks. The lack of decent video editing tools on Linux prevents every VFX studio from becoming a Linux-only shop. This is a shame because all of the best 3D and 2D tools, other than video, are entrenched in the Linux environment and perform best there.

The VFX industry has for the most part of the last 30 years been reliant on Mac and PC for video editing, primarily because all of the Linux-based FOSS tools have been less than great. In the VFX industry these three tools are used extensively among studios for cutting video and film and are both very simple to use for noobs and professionals alike as well as can be pushed very far in the hands of guru artists. (I've even got film creds on IMDB!) In the past, I had the pleasure of cutting on, training people on, setting up, and supporting Avid Media Composer, the cream of the crop of professional real-time video editing tools for film and TV alike-at least before things like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere became useful enough to professionals. I've spent many years in the visual effects (VFX) industry from the perspective of being either an artist, compositor, video editor, or systems engineer.
