Hi,

Reviewing the available packages in the repositories (extras, devel, etc), I have found that the tools available to create audio editors and / or video.

Is not there a project to create graphics applications allow editing audio and / or video?

I've tried with command in xterm but my colleagues do not like using command in cli.

In case anyone is interested in creating an application that allows support recommend for added effect on the files to work.

Thanks to this community that gives us so much support for Maemo users.

i'd love to have video editing... not much, just cut clips and put them together again. i could live without any effects or transitions. it's just that when you record a few videos, you usually want to take the best shots, make a movie, add a sound track and then upload this final version instead of sharing each single clip...

There are a bunch of Linux video editing software out there.. I do not know how difficult it would be to port them but i am guessing it would take a great deal of the n900's resources.

The best would be to "ssh -X" to you linux desktop computer and let it do the work. Though i don't think it would be impossible with a port. Especially if the video was intended to be small.

Maybe something could work on Easy Debian.. don't know if the sound problem is solved there.

i remember somebody once said pitivi would be a good candidate for porting, because it's simple and based on gstreamer.
otoh, from my experiences on the desktop, the application isn't ready for every day use even on the desktop and would need quite a lot of work UI-wise for the n900...

The idea of using remote software or Web applications went through my head.

But depend on the Internet and not always available, is also increasing energy consumption by using wireless connection.

Easy to use Debian is an alternative but its use is heavy.

It would be better to use a palicación gstreamer, ffmpeg, mplayer, etc ... to facilitate its use by any user.

I've done some testing with mplayer and gstreamer-tools but I can not see the originals and the results on the fly.

I think that a candidate easy to carry and well known would be VirtualDub.

Personally I prefer to edit on my laptop because of the bigger screen, and use Avidemux. It's available for all major platforms and can be found at the link below. I only use it for simple frame-editing, changing portrait to landscape and such.

It might be a candidate to port though, if you really want to edit directly on your n900, as it is based on GTK+.

I also prefer to edit on my Desktop but there are times when the need arises for me when traveling, etc..

With the BT keyboard (especially a TV) I have replaced my laptop just about anywhere

For video work I recommend using "ffmpeg" is in the repositories but installing from console or by using Fast Application "in advanced mode, and audio use" sox ".

I will try to give examples to work from CLI.

Merge two videos (must have the same encoding):
videoA.mpeg cat videoB.mpeg> video_temp.mpeg

To ensure that you can join them in mpeg always works with many formats do not work.
