概要: 在这篇文章中，Tiwo 讨论了 Linux 下最佳视频编辑器的优缺点和在基于 Ubuntu 的发行版中的安装方法。


在过去，我们已经在类似的文章中讨论了 [Linux 下最佳图像管理应用软件](/article-7462-1.html)，[Linux 上四个最佳的现代开源代码编辑器](/article-7468-1.html)。今天，我们来看看 Linux 下的最佳视频编辑软件。


当谈及免费的视频编辑软件，Windows Movie Maker 和 iMovie 是大多数人经常推荐的。


不幸的是，它们在 GNU/Linux 下都是不可用的。但是你不必担心这个，因为我们已经为你收集了一系列最佳的视频编辑器。


### Linux下最佳的视频编辑应用程序


接下来，让我们来看看 Linux 下排名前五的最佳视频编辑软件：


#### 1. Kdenlive


![](/data/attachment/album/201611/14/085331rthfq2wkbdtdvk30.jpg)


[Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org/) 是一款来自于 KDE 的自由而开源的视频编辑软件，它提供双视频监视器、多轨时间轴、剪辑列表、可自定义的布局支持、基本效果和基本转换的功能。


它支持各种文件格式和各种摄像机和相机，包括低分辨率摄像机（Raw 和 AVI DV 编辑）：mpeg2、mpeg4 和 h264 AVCHD（小型摄像机和摄像机）；高分辨率摄像机文件，包括 HDV 和 AVCHD 摄像机；专业摄像机，包括 XDCAM-HD<sup> TM</sup> 流、IMX<sup> TM</sup> （D10）流、DVCAM（D10）、DVCAM、DVCPRO<sup> TM</sup> 、DVCPRO50<sup> TM</sup> 流和 DNxHD<sup> TM</sup> 流等等。


你可以在命令行下运行下面的命令安装 :



```
sudo apt-get install kdenlive

```

或者，打开 Ubuntu 软件中心，然后搜索 Kdenlive。


#### 2. OpenShot


![](/data/attachment/album/201611/14/085400w16ll7lzjrnl1vn9.jpg)


[OpenShot](http://www.openshot.org/) 是我们这个 Linux 视频编辑软件列表中的第二选择。 OpenShot 可以帮助您创建支持过渡、效果、调整音频电平的电影，当然，它也支持大多数格式和编解码器。


您还可以将电影导出到 DVD，上传到 YouTube、Vimeo、Xbox 360 和许多其他常见的格式。 OpenShot 比 Kdenlive 更简单。 所以如果你需要一个简单界面的视频编辑器，OpenShot 会是一个不错的选择。


最新的版本是 2.0.7。您可以从终端窗口运行以下命令安装 OpenShot 视频编辑器：



```
sudo apt-get install openshot

```

它需要下载 25 MB，安装后需要 70 MB 硬盘空间。


#### 3. Flowblade Movie Editor


![](/data/attachment/album/201611/14/085421dor5vs0hiisizsv2.jpg)


[Flowblade Movie Editor](http://jliljebl.github.io/flowblade/) 是一个用于 Linux 的多轨非线性视频编辑器。它是自由而开源的。 它配备了一个时尚而现代的用户界面。


它是用 Python 编写的，旨在提供一个快速、精确的功能。 Flowblade 致力于在 Linux 和其他自由平台上提供最好的体验。 所以现在没有 Windows 和 OS X 版本。


要在 Ubuntu 和其他基于 Ubuntu 的系统上安装 Flowblade，请使用以下命令：



```
sudo apt-get install flowblade

```

#### 4. Lightworks


![](/data/attachment/album/201611/14/085449djoo0on96nd66z9s.jpg)


如果你要寻找一个有更多功能的视频编辑软件，这会是答案。 [Lightworks](https://www.lwks.com/) 是一个跨平台的专业的视频编辑器，在 Linux、Mac OS X 和 Windows 系统下都可用。


它是一个获奖的专业的[非线性编辑](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system)（NLE）软件，支持高达 4K 的分辨率以及标清和高清格式的视频。


该应用程序有两个版本：Lightworks 免费版和 Lightworks 专业版。不过免费版本不支持 Vimeo（H.264 / MPEG-4）和 YouTube（H.264 / MPEG-4） - 高达 2160p（4K UHD）、蓝光和 H.264 / MP4 导出选项，以及可配置的位速率设置，但是专业版本支持。


* Lightworks 免费版
* Lightworks 专业版


专业版本有更多的功能，例如更高的分辨率支持，4K 和蓝光支持等。


##### 怎么安装Lightworks？


不同于其他的视频编辑器，安装 Lightwork 不像运行单个命令那么直接。别担心，这不会很复杂。


* 第1步 – 你可以从 [Lightworks 下载页面](https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206)下载安装包。这个安装包大约 79.5MB。*请注意：这里没有32 位 Linux 的支持。*
* 第2步 – 一旦下载，你可以使用 [Gdebi 软件包安装器](https://itsfoss.com/gdebi-default-ubuntu-software-center/)来安装。Gdebi 会自动下载依赖关系 : ![](/data/attachment/album/201611/14/085519zewfq4444hv4w4jf.jpg)
* 第3步 – 现在你可以从 Ubuntu 仪表板或您的 Linux 发行版菜单中打开它。
* 第4步 – 当你第一次使用它时，需要一个账号。点击 “Not Registerd?” 按钮来注册。别担心，它是免费的。
* 第5步 – 在你的账号通过验证后，就可以登录了。


现在，Lightworks 可以使用了。

#### 5. Blender


![](/data/attachment/album/201611/14/085626nb1v8zb7z81237t1.jpg)


Blender 是一个专业的，工业级的开源、跨平台的视频编辑器。在 3D 作品的制作中，是非常受欢迎的。 Blender 已被用于几部好莱坞电影的制作，包括蜘蛛侠系列。


虽然最初是设计用于制作 3D 模型，但它也可以用于各种格式的视频编辑和输入能力。 该视频编辑器包括：


* 实时预览、亮度波形、色度矢量示波器和直方图显示
* 音频混合、同步、擦除和波形可视化
* 多达 32 个插槽用于添加视频、图像、音频、场景、面具和效果
* 速度控制、调整图层、过渡、关键帧、过滤器等


最新的版本可以从 [Blender 下载页](https://www.blender.org/download/)下载.


### 哪一个是最好的视频编辑软件？


如果你需要一个简单的视频编辑器，OpenShot、Kdenlive 和 Flowblade 是一个不错的选择。这些软件是适合初学者的，并且带有标准规范的系统。


如果你有一个高性能的计算机，并且需要高级功能，你可以使用 Lightworks。如果你正在寻找更高级的功能， Blender 可以帮助你。


这就是我写的 5 个最佳的视频编辑软件，它们可以在 Ubuntu、Linux Mint、Elementary 和其他 Linux 发行版下使用。 请与我们分享您最喜欢的视频编辑器。

OpenShot is a tad bit simpler than Kdenlive. So if you need **a video editor with a simple UI**, OpenShot is a good choice.

If you looking for video editing software that has more features, and fit for professional work, this is the answer. [Lightworks](https://www.lwks.com/) is a cross-platform professional video editor, available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

It is a [non-linear editing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system) (NLE) software that supports resolutions up to 4K as well as video in SD and HD formats.

Lightworks is available for Linux, however it is **not open source**.

This application has three versions:

**Lightworks Free****Lightworks Create****Lightworks Pro**

Pro version has more features, such as higher resolution support, 4K and Blue Ray support, etc.

Extensive documentation is available on its [website](https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206&tab=4). You can also refer to videos at [Lightworks video tutorials page](https://www.lwks.com/videotutorials) to learn more.

## 6. Blender

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/image-5.png)

[Blender](https://www.blender.org/) is a **professional, industry-grade, open source, cross-platform video editor**. It is popular for 3D works. Blender has been used in several Hollywood movies, including the Spider-Man series.

Although originally designed for 3D modeling, it can also be used for video editing and has input capabilities with a variety of formats.

**Pros**

- Cross-platform
- Professional grade editing

**Cons**

- Complicated
- Mainly for 3D animation, not focused on regular video editing

**Installing Blender**

You can find it on the official repositories. But, to get the latest version you should opt for Flatpak or other packages available from its [download page](https://www.blender.org/download/).

**Suggested Read 📖**

Enabling Flatpak will give you access to the easy installation of many Linux applications.

## 7. Cinelerra GG Infinity

![cinelerra video editor](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/08/cinilerra-video-editor.jpg)

- Advanced timeline.
- Motion tracking support.
- Video stabilization.
- Hardware acceleration.
- Allows background rendering over a network with several connected computers.
- HiDPI 4K Monitor Support.

Cinelerra is a decade-old popular open-source video editor. However, it has several branches (in other words – different versions). I am not sure if that is a good thing, but you get different features (and abilities) on each of them.

[Cinelerra GG](https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/) is the most actively maintained edition with modern features, with new features constantly added. The original edition is an ancient video editor which is no longer being maintained.

**Install Cinelerra GG**

You will not find this in the repositories. So, head to its official website to download the AppImage or any other supported package.

## 8. DaVinci Resolve

![DaVinci Resolve video editor](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2016/06/davinci-resolve-vdeo-editor-800x450.jpg)

- High-performance playback engine
- Advanced Trimming
- Audio Overlays
- Multicam Editing allows editing footage from multiple cameras in real-time
- Timeline curve editor
- Non-linear editing for VFX

If you want film-grade video editing, use the tool the professionals use. [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/) from Blackmagic is what professionals are using for editing movies and tv shows.

Unlike the Adobe suite, this is one excellent option that is truly cross-platform.

DaVinci Resolve is not your regular video editor. It’s a full-fledged editing tool that provides editing, color correction, and professional audio post-production in a single application.

DaVinci Resolve is **not open sourc**e. Like LightWorks, it provides a free version for Linux and the pro version costs **$300.**

**Pros**

- Cross-platform
- Professional grade video editor

**Cons**

- Not suitable for average editing
- Not open source
- Some features are not available in the free version

**Installing DaVinci Resolve**

You can download DaVinci Resolve for Linux from [its website](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/). You’ll have to register, even for the free version.

## 9. VidCutter

![vidcutter screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/vidcutter-2022.png)

- Cross-platform app
- Supports most of the common video formats such as: AVI, MP4, MPEG 1/2, WMV, MP3, MOV, 3GP, FLV, etc.
- Simple interface
- Trims and merges the videos

Unlike all the other video editors discussed here, [VidCutter](https://github.com/ozmartian/vidcutter) is utterly simple. It doesn’t do much except splitting and merging videos. But sometimes that’s what you need and VidCutter gives you just that.

**Pros**

- Cross-platform
- Good for simple split and merge

**Cons**

- Not suitable for regular video editing
- Crashes often

**Installing VidCutter**

It is available as a Flatpak, Snap, AppImage and can be installed using a PPA.

If you want to use the PPA, you can get it using the following command:

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ozmartian/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vidcutter
```


For other Linux distributions and packages, you can head to its [GitHub page](https://github.com/ozmartian/vidcutter/releases).

## Which is the best video editing software for Linux?

There are some [online video editing tools](https://www.veed.io/tools/video-editor) available that could be used from your web browser in Linux. However, the comfort of a native tool is a different thing altogether.

If you require an editor for simply cutting and joining videos, go with **VidCutter**.

If you require something more than that, **OpenShot** or **Kdenlive** is a good choice. These are suitable for beginners and are systems with standard specifications.

If you have a high-end computer and need advanced features you can go out with **Lightworks** or **DaVinci Resolve**. If you are looking for more advanced features for 3D works, **Blender** has got your back.
