Despite some commentators deploring the state of Linux video editing tools, I continue to believe that somewhere out there is a non-linear editing program that is feature rich, intuitive and stable for the Linux platform. Maybe I'm deluded, but I would settle for a nice tool in its current state, that has an active community, a development road map and doesn't crash all the time!

Yesterday, I decided to give Open Movie Editor a chance. I thought this project was largely dead, but a new release was made on January 2nd 2008, so it looks to be still very much alive. I was also somewhat put off by the screenshots on the website. The GUI looks poor and clunky. After installation I am pleased to say that this isn't entirely the case.

A very cool onboard video from the GBMoto R1 Yamaha around the UK's Snetterton circuit. Camera show front fork working hard over the bumps and into the braking zones.

Find a red star location on the map, click the star, choose a movie and enjoy!

Zooming right in and using the Satellite feature will also show the exact location of the track where the footage was filmed.
