Yeah, wow. Lightworks looks pretty neat! Watching the quick start video... iMovie is still light years ahead in usability. Maybe with Lightworks and Bitwig I can ditch my Mac next upgrade? Cheers.

I am biased towards Linux, but would still recommend getting a Mac for iMovie. Even a used Mac from the last four years, if you're on a budget, is going to be a frustration-eliminating experience. Simple things, like being able to import the video (without re-encoding) directly off the camera to a thumbnailed event timeline makes a huge difference in usability. > > > I was actually recommending Lightworks, which not only has a Linux > version for a while now, but feels similar to iMovie/Final Cut Pro. > Blender's not exactly for the faint of heart. > > -- > Charlie Li > Can't think of a witty .sigline today… > > (This email address is for mailing list use only; > replace local-part with vishwin for off-list communication) > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org > Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce > General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug -- Gavin W.
