Sunday: VLog the First
Today is Sunday and as promised I’ve done a video blog entry (of vlog as some would say). Not only is the acting and stammering terrible, but the editing is an immature process so bare with it and the foolish guy in it.

Great job!
Looking forward to your future vlogs.
Why youtube? Blip.tv supports ogg last I knew. The greenscreen is a clever idea for later use. Instant screenshots behind you, and so on.
Rock on!
That’s the idea, although I’m not sure about blip.tv, are they a good service and are they open for mere morals to use?
Which Linux video editing application did you use to produce this video?
God: Avidemux (GTK+)
I was trying to find a chroma key feature in any of the tools that work for linux, but so far it’s not possible…
Nifty hat! Very dapper! Small world, hardly six degrees of separation…I was tooling around for Inkscape and Ubuntu shtuff, and who do I run into? DoctorMo! Vlog idea is a good one. So far, I am enjoying Ubuntu! The nightly build for Inkscape however, was disappointing- crashed using either freehand or line tool, every time. I had already gotten used to the new features on the nightly build on Vista, so having to go back to using .46 on Ubuntu was a bummer. I’ll keep checking the latest builds.
… it’s … not possible …. in Linux? How? From what I hear, Linux on the desktop is the answer to everything? Turn in your freetard badge, go purchase FinalCut, and get some work done.

I’m not a freetard, I’m a libatard. And I don’t take jip from The Register reading tardis-tards
Nah, I’m sure chroma key will come, or I’ve missed something or someone can be encouraged to do it. If I have to I’ll convert every frame into pngs and edit them using python scripts.
Chroma can be hard enough as it is! You really, really do not want to make it harder by doing frame-by-frame. Frame-by-frame anything is a major pain in the ass (and shoulders from hunching over). I speak from experience of matting frame-by-frame.
One option might be to write your own chroma filter

since it doesn’t seem to be something that has been done yet. That’s not really surprising though as keying is kind of a specialized thing. You just had the (mis)fortune to marry someone that sees it as an essential part of her video repertoire.
Teru: Avidemux isn’t a non-linear video editor, it’s a video formatter, that’s why I was able to cut your 50MB mp4 to a 10mb avi with specific video and audio formatting. It’s really rather good at that.
But for editing, I’d have to pick another tool, Kino was one, perhaps reinstall Kdenlive. But I also know that Cinelerra has Chroma Key, but it’s bloody hard to use and it’s as ugly as a step sister trying on a glass slipper.
I don’t think Kino has the features you want, if I recall correctly from my 5 minutes with it (it’s really low-feature like iMovie or other just-encode-my-ski-trip software). I agree about Cinelerra. It was not only difficult (read: impossible for me) to use, but their user documentation is practically nil. It doesn’t work like the common commercial programs, so it’s not like you can just pick it up if you know one of those. They really need to work on that aspect of it if they want to have a competitive product.
Good stuff. Watched it ’till the end
Have you tried the Ubuntu-specific binary packages for Cinelerra? You can get them from the heroinewarrior.com site. They might work better for you.
