I've used several video editing packages for windows such as the Matrox
2000-2500 series. You get a digital/analog capture card along with there
transitions and effects, and Adobe Premiere for putting it all together.
Since switching cold turkey to Linux in January, I still can't figure
out what I need to accomplish the same thing.
Could anyone please tell me in simple terms what I would need to
accomplish the same things that I'm used to under Windows with these
other editing packages?
Can I use my Matrox g400 and daughter board from the Matrox product?
What boards can I use (Brand name, not chip set-very confusing) to
caputre digital and analog?
What editing software is available besides Broadcast 2000, and
Cinelarra? Neither of which I seem to be able to get installed on my
system.
I'm running a True Pentium cpu at 800Mhz, RedHat7.3, 512MB RAM, 2 320GB
drives with a removble 120 GB drive for projects, VIA chip set. Abit AH6
MB and the aformentioned Matrox graphic card with daughter capture board.
I'm very confused as everything tralks about bt787 or something chipset
and recompiling the kernal for DV etc.
I just want to use my system for video editing, not have to pull the
engine, tear it down, and blueprint and balance it.
Is this possible in Linux, or do I have to have a Master's degree in
computer science to accomplish this in Linux?
As you can probably tell, I'm just a little frustrated. I've been trying
to figure this out for a few months now and I still can't seem to find
an answer.
Thanks for any replies.
Jeff
