Free and Open Source Video Editors for Linux: I've shared with you a list of free and open source video editing software before, and noticed that there are other excellent video editors for Linux that I failed to mention. So today, I would like to feature some more video editing software, which are all capable of handling video sequence editing and provide tools for trimming, colour manipulation, titling, visual effects, splicing, cutting and arranging clips across the timeline among others. The best thing is that these editors are free and open source:
Now, here is another list of free and open source video editors for Linux.
