Ubuntu – Video editor to create professional appearance

screencastsoftware-recommendation

I've been very impressed with this screencast.

Is there a simple way to create a professional-looking screencast using open software on Ubuntu? I'm mainly interested in good-looking transitions between images and videos.

kdenlive install kdenlive

Kdenlive is a free open-source video editor for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, which supports DV, AVCHD and HDV editing. Kdenlive relies on several other open source projects, such as FFmpeg, the MLT video framework and Frei0r effects.

Kdenlive main window

Kdenlive is easily the best video editor currently available for Ubuntu. There is also a GTK frontend for MLT framework (OpenShot) but it has less features and worse user interface.

Kdenlive supports a wide array of video formats, images and transitions. The rendering tool has ready presets for most situations like Youtube, DVD, different mobile devices, etc. so you don't need to be an expert on video compression.

You can get it from Ubuntu's repository, but I'd suggest you get the latest version from project site. They even have a repository set up for Ubuntu.
