Unfortunately when you google for "video editing linux" you get a bunch of hits that are too old - using kernel 2.4something - won't work :cry:

Was that software written for Linux? If not then it's not 'compatible' at all, and not only "not very compatible".

Yes. You might also want to try the other packages mentioned in this thread. Then look what works best for you.

Hello,

I'm new to video editing myself, I've been making short clips with a digital photo camera and have only recently bought a miniDV cam from ebay :D

If you get your footage from a (mini)DV camera, you definitely want Kino, it's just great. It can deinterlace and add a few effects, enough for the quick edit, you know, cut what you don't need and stuff. Just get it anyway.

If you would like some more fun take a look at Cinelerra (be sure to use the community version, not the heroine one), it does crash a lot (A LOT!) but it recovers nicely. It's often criticized for it's complicated interface but I'm a total n00b and it works just fine for me, add video tracks start mixing.

I didn't check out Lives yet but I will soon.
