Matt over at FreshDV posted a list of free editing software. It’s a list of 11 open source applications ranging from Non-Linear Editors to Format Converters. It isn’t a comprehensive review, but it is a good resource if you’re looking for editing software on a zero budget.
The only software on the list that I have any experience with are Avid FreeDV, and Jahshaka.
Avid FreeDV isn’t half bad, but the biggest problem I remember having with it was the lack of any way to escalate your project to any of the other Avid applications. It would be nice to at least be able to get FreeDV projects opened in Express Pro, or at least Express DV. This is a bit of a moot point now, as none of these applications is available any longer through Avid.
As one of the commenters on the FreshDV post stated, Jahshaka was not much more than a time waster. It was fun to experiment with, but I lost interest quickly and never finished a project with it.
Check out the rest of the FreshDV list. And the Fresh new theme too.
