plumstead21holstein: I'd better be off, thanks for your help01:19
holsteind'oh01:19
holsteini got busy and forgot about 'em01:19
WiesshundHey guys, is there a better video editing package than Kino?02:19
holsteinWiesshund: there are diffrent ones arguably better ones im sure02:19
Wiesshundholstein is there anything that will work with mutiple video tracks at the same time?02:21
holsteinhmmm02:21
holsteini thought kino could02:21
holsteinnot sure02:21
holsteinim not a video guy02:21
Wiesshundmaybe i didnt explain that well02:21
holsteinshould be up on the sites though02:21
Wiesshunderm ok think ardour but video02:21
holsteinright02:22
holsteini assumed that was kind of a basic function02:22
Wiesshundhmm, so far, kino is working kind of like er say moviemaker?02:23
ScottLWiesshund, openshot or blender can edit video02:23
ScottLWiesshund, dvdstyler can author dvds02:23
Wiesshundmaking it real hard to do soemthing where i need to keep mulple video streams in sync02:23
WiesshundScottL Blender can? oh hell i thought it only did its own 3d animation stuff02:24
ScottLWiesshund, hold on a minute, i have a pretty good tutorial for it02:25
ScottLWiesshund, http://www.straightedgelinux.com/videoBlender/02:25
Wiesshundthat would be cool. i made a vid today and in kino it was hell trying to keep things synced02:25
ScottLWiesshund, the beauty of blender is that you can also do compositing like green stuff or alpha over02:26
ScottLWiesshund, hold on, i'll find another tutorail for that02:26
holsteinScottL: is that what you used?02:26
ScottLholstein, yes, i used blender for my green screen video, really it was just a proof-of-concept02:27
ScottLWiesshund, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/983102:27
Wiesshundhmm, im going to have to give that a try02:27
ScottLWiesshund, this is a quick video i made with blender http://vimeo.com/1403495802:27
ScottLit was as proof of concept for green screen02:28
Wiesshundim trying really hard not to poke in the windows HD just to run adobe premier02:28
ScottLi video taped myself in my music room recording a made up rhythm then taped another of myself doing lead in front of green screen02:28
ScottLthen i green screened my second self and composited them together, scaling the 2nd me abit and moving it over to fit better02:29
Wiesshundhehe i just noticed your kids head appear02:30
ScottLyeah, it looked like i was looking at myself until you see my son appear :P02:30
Wiesshunddefinately good sync between the 2 video tracks02:32
Wiesshundi did this in kino but sync wise i think it came out really bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gki1Ps1uBOc02:33
ScottLopenshot is pretty good for editing video and supports a lot of video formats for input as well02:34
Wiesshundi couldnt find for the life of me how to run 4 or 5 tracks in it simultaneously and puch transitions in so i would up cutting alot of clips and stonging them together :(02:34
ScottLbut i have to say that blender supports almost all formats and can export to almost any format02:34
Wiesshundwound up*02:34
ScottLyeah, i'm not sure on kino either02:34
ScottLpitivi is not too bad either for straight editing video, i don't think it even comes with transitions really02:35
ScottLnot that transitions are really that important for most video, at least not many transitions02:35
Wiesshundyea what i got out of it was its a good relacement for the windows moviemaker variety of software (Kino)02:35
ScottLWiesshund, this is also a good tutorial for some aspects for blender:  http://monochrome.sutic.nu/2010/06/14/video-editing-with-blender.html02:36
ScottLthis will show you, among other high brow stuff, how to use ffmpeg to generate the right video format for youtube, vimeo, etc02:36
WiesshundYea i only wanted pretty much just direct punch transitions, not fades etc. Heh it's funny cause ive been learning a little 3d stuff with blender02:37
ScottLi've edit video with blender but never, never played with the 3d stuff...kinda funny i suppose02:37
ScottLif you plan on using the h264 coded you might also look at:  http://monochrome.sutic.nu/2010/06/16/blender-h264.html02:38
Wiesshundi didnt know blender did other totaly separate things heh. feel dumb now02:39
Wiesshundthink im going to redo my vid giving blender a try02:42
Wiesshundit definately cant come out any worse sync wise02:42
ScottLlol, good luck02:47
ScottLfunny, i just found this and it's recent:  http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/openmovieeditor-and-blender-more-nle-delights02:49
Wiesshundcool03:07
flupkehello, anyone has a guide for mixxx + jack + m-audio fast track pro ? I see only one stereo output in jack (seems like the FTP exposes itself as 2 stereo output devices, and I can only choose one in qjackctl)16:41
gordonjcpflupke: so it's two separate stereo-only devices?16:42
gordonjcpmaybe you could use alsa_out to get the other pair16:42
flupkegordonjcp: yes, with alsa I can use both devices16:43
flupkebut I need jack to do some routing16:43
gordonjcpthen, use alsa_out to get the other output16:43
flupkegordonjcp: can't jack use 2 devices ?16:44
frederickjhYou mean connect to two devices at once?16:44
frederickjhYes16:44
gordonjcpno, and it doesn't work particularly well if you try to use an input and an output on two different cards16:44
frederickjhdo you have a screen shot you can post somewhere?  www.tinypic.com16:45
flupkefrederickjh: sure just a sec16:45
flupkefrederickjh: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=rr5ert&s=716:48
frederickjhok16:48
flupkefrederickjh: hw:1,0 and hw:1,1 are the FTP two stereo out16:49
flupkeif I could configure jack to use them both, mixxx could use both too16:49
frederickjhSo you want to output to both at the same time?16:50
flupkefrederickjh: yes16:50
flupkefrederickjh: in jack there would be 4 outputs instead of two16:51
flupkeplayback_1 to 416:51
flupke(that's for being able to have one main output + one headphones output)16:51
frederickjhWhat is the name of the card you are missing?16:53
flupkefrederickjh: I don't miss one (they are shown as "USB Audio" and "USB Audio #1" in qjackctl on the screenshot), but I'm looking for a way to select both for output in jack16:55
frederickjhtry opening a terminal and running this16:56
frederickjhalsa_in -jUSBAudio1 -dhw:116:56
frederickjhsee if the ins show up in jack control16:56
flupkefrederickjh: aaah brilliant, I found a thread explaining alsa_out16:58
flupkefrederickjh: alsa_out -j second -d hw:1,1 , now I see both devices in jack :) many thanks16:58
frederickjhAdd the command in the after server start in Jack Control to start it on server start up.16:58
frederickjhActually flupke suggested it.16:58
frederickjh05:42:57 PM) gordonjcp: maybe you could use alsa_out to get the other pair16:59
flupkedoh ! I missed this line -_-16:59
frederickjhSorry, got my names mixed up16:59
frederickjhit was gordonjcp16:59
frederickjhActually you answered it.17:00
flupkesorry guys it could have been solved instantly if I could read better :)17:00
frederickjhMaybe you had never heard of alsa_out.17:00
flupkethanks frederickjh and gordonjcp17:00
frederickjhNo problem.17:00
flupkeI have a nice jack startup script setting up PA and the second device, maybe there's a wiki somewhere to share it ?17:14
