Re: Video editing disaster

[Wade Hampton]

One suggestion was Cinelerra.  I tried the GG version 5.1
and it worked.  However it would play and not stop.  Also,
I rendered to WEBM and the result was purple.

I loaded handbrake and it wanted me to erase some program
and install a new ffmpeg.  That fixed kdenlive which now works
great on Fedora.

I hope that the developers of pitivi and OpenShot can fix the
stability issues.

Another suggestion was bandshed.  I'll have to check it out:

Right now, I would say video editing is a challenge.
