The solution includes most features expected in professional video editing packages, such as: multi-track editing, support for a wide range of formats and codecs (mp3, mpeg2, mpeg4, DnxHD, Theora and others) and platforms (eg, Vimeo, Youtube), an important set of effects and transitions, support for screen captures, custom rendering profiles and subtitle support.
It can be installed on Linux Caixa Mágica simply by selecting the package “task-video-editing” on the Synaptic package manager. All the dependencies are handled automatically.
A workflow manual is available in English and Portuguese.
A simple demo video, which is a remake of the famous and fabulous Transpotting intro, was also released and can be found below.

We would like to highlight the high quality work delivered by projects like xine, kaffeine, mplayer, vlc, ffmpeg, mlt and kdenlive which are the building blocks of this easy to use certified solution.
