Multimedia, AV KDEnLive 0.7.5 was released a few days ago, so I installed it on my Ubuntu machine to see how the app has been progressed since the last time I tried it. KDEnLive is the most actively developed, and easiest to use Linux video editor. Its UI resembles Sony Vegas in many ways; if you know how to use Vegas, you won't have trouble with KDEnLive.

I was going to ask how PiTiVI compares with Cinelerra and KDEnLive.

Pitivi is _extremely_ primitive right now, sorry. I have tried its latest version, it's not worthwhile yet. KDEnLive is way more advanced at this point. Both equally unstable though. Cinelerra is also pretty unstable with some formats and it has terrible usability. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

WereCatf:
One good thing about Eugenia's review is that it's easy to gather a simple checklist of things to fix from there, instability going to the top of the list; it is seriously frustrating to be interrupted unexpectedly when you've just gotten things rolling.


jfebrer:
I see in your screenshot that the Qt style used in KDEnlive was Oxygen, the default KDE style.
It is strange because under GNOME it was supposed that Qt apps use the GTK style, it maybe an Ubuntu issue.
The Qt GTK style make use of the GTK+ theme engine, so Qt applications look and feel more native under a GTK environment.
If you want this, in qtconfig you can select GTK+ as GUI style.


Perhaps Eugenia if you had run Kdenlive (a KDE4 application) under the KDE4 desktop and Kwin/Phonon/ it possibly might have been a little more stable for you.

The developers of Kdenlive have moved on from the KDE3 version (which wasn't originally made for MLT) and moved on to KDE4 with an almost complete rewrite.
