“In the past, video editing in Linux significantly
lagged behind other popular operating system. While there was a
good range of software, the vast majority offered limited
functionality. However, the situation has dramatically improved, in
part because of development on multimedia frameworks (such as
GStreamer and MLT). Furthermore, the versatility of Linux video
editors has improved markedly. Linux now represents an excellent
platform for editing video.

“To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of 8 excellent video editors.
Hopefully, there will be something of interest for anyone
interested in editing motion video footage.

“Now, let’s explore the 8 video editors at hand. For each title
we have compiled its own portal page, a full description with an
in-depth analysis of its features, a screenshot of the software in
action, together with links to relevant resources and reviews.”
