Making Videos on Ubuntu Media with OpenShot and Friends


Download MOV format for Apple

Download AVI format for Windows

I gave a talk at Penguicon in 2015 about using the Linux OpenShot application and a few other tools to make a movie.

The demo movie will be this little "Music Video" built out of a publicly available MIDI track, some free images from the net and a couple parody verses I composed.

The bulk of the assembly for this project was done with OpenShot, but other Linux tools got used to generate some zoom & pans, create stop-action sequences, convert sounds, etc.

Along with OpenShot, I discussed:

  • mjpegtools
  • Tcl/Tk
  • ImageMagick
  • timidity
  • Ardour
