“Have you ever daydreamed about being a movie producer? Or
sitting in the director’s chair and bringing it all together? I
have. In fact, one such dream has been simmering in the “one of

(see Resources for a link) about video editing on Linux, however,
has me re-thinking the project. The question that had me going

editing solution and do the assembly and editing on my Linux
desktop…”
