I haven't found very good sources for those of us who use Linux, so I figured I'd start a thread here.
I know that there aren't many of us out there, so I think that all Linux audio and video software tips, advice, reviews, etc. can go here.
To start off, I think Audacity is a great tool for converting and adjusting your audio. It's cross platform and can run on any major OS.
I use it to generally clean up the audio before I combine it with the video.
(I use a Tascam for my in-helmet audio. I also have an Olympus DVR that I use for outside/engine sound.)
For video editing, it can get tricky for Linux users.
I tried Pitivi, but I had issues rendering.
Blender is really neat, and I've had some success making an intro video. It's very, very complex, but there are some youtube videos out there that can help. There's also a Windows version, too.
There's Openshot. It's pretty good. It's takes a no-frills approach while still being fully functional. It's easy to figure out.
My favorite (by far) editing program has been Kdenlive. It does everything, and it's pretty easy to use. You can easily edit clips and merge audio together. A really helpful thing is to group tracks so that you can edit and/or move all of them at the same time. This helps keep things like overlays and transitions where they need to be.
You can even adjust the audio in Kdenlive. This makes adjusting levels quite simple. As a new motovlogger, I noticed that I am very quiet at stoplights. I think I'm just subconsciously concerned about people hearing me talk to myself in my helmet.
This made the audio very quiet when I was stopped and much, much louder when I was moving. Simple cuts and adjustments make it so the volume levels are basically the same throughout the whole video.
I will go into more details, mostly with Kdenlive, itt and will probably post videos on my channel to help others out. It's hard to find videos out there that'll apply to us and our needs.
I hope this thread can help at least a few people out there who are having a hard time even finding the right software to use on Linux. Then it's a matter of figuring out how to actually use the software.
I'll add posts in the future and welcome any other members with Linux-related advice.
