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:
So, this
http://www.bandshed.net/avlinux/ was the solution for me.
Right now, I would say video editing is a challenge.

I am trying out multiple video editors on Fedora, with very poor

and a ton of crashes.
Anyone have recommendations on how to stablize one of these or can you
recommend a
video editor that just works (like kdenlive used to when I used it last a
year ago)?
I am having the same results on two Fedora 25, 64-bit systems, fully
updated. The packages
are from rpmfusion and on one of the two systems from unitedrpms. My main
system is an
older 6-core AMD with 8G of RAM so it should handle it.
The files I am testing with are:
JPG images from a DSLR
Quicktime from my DSLR (MVI_xxx.MOV),
Movie from my Android phone xxxxxxxxx.m2ts
Movie from a DVD xxx.mpg
Movie from a digital camcorder (Sony AVCHD): xxxx.MTS
KDENLIVE:
My goto editor was Kdenlive, but it won't open files. I keep getting
"clip is invalid".
The terminal outputs:
mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so
(/lib64/libavdevice.so.57: symbol av_buffersink_get_sample_aspect_ratio,
version LIBAVFILTER_6 not defined in file libavfilter.so.6 with link time
reference)
I think there is a lib miss-match.
PITIVI:
Pitivi is nice, but I can't keep it running. Multiple core dumps.
OPENSHOT:
I really love OpenShot. I tried the one from rpmfusion and it crashed all
the time,
for example when trying transitions. I also tried the latest version via
AppImage:
OpenShot-v2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage
This seemed much more stable, but I could still crash it with transitions,
adding
an MP3 file for audio, etc.
Anyone have a good, stable video editor or have suggestions on how to run
one of these
in a stable platform?
Note, I am filing bug reports on many of these crashes....
Thanks,
