Can anyone recommend some linux video editing software - preferably available through (k)ubuntu's Adept Package Manager?

I don't need anything too flashy - just the ability to import from a video8 camera, slice it up with some editing capabilities, something to let me adjust the colour saturation/contrast levels, and output the resulting digital file to some common file format that can be uploaded to YouTube etc

There are video editing facilities in Blender, but I've never used them.

Linux video editing - I bet that's not for the faint hearted / short of
patience !

Tried cinelerra? Might be a bit resource hungry, though.

Thanks! I'm running 64-bit linux on a decent cpu with s**t of RAM. Resource-hunger is not a problem. Can't be as bad as Windows Vista, anyway

I assume the censor has redacted 'sh!tloads' to s**t

This is one of the reasons I stopped using Linux(that and music editing).

Though it appears you have a lot more choice these days.

Thanks for all the tips.

I was thinking of installing Ubuntu Studio on a spare computer (I have 3 spare computers!) with Cinelerra.
