re Weta / park road : they have been running Linux based system for
ages actually.<br>
Da Vinci for say runs on it... In fact plenty of serious video soft
are based on Linux.<br>
Just expensive.<br>
<br>
In the opensource world, unfortunately options are limited.<br>
Openshot is nowhere close to a professional tool (yet). Plenty of
effects that belong to the garden gnomes cupboard (my opinion here).
What is needed is serious color correction and temporal denoising
not roll over effects.<br>
<br>
The only 2 serious ones are Kdenlive (then again ....) because it
can cut through AVCHD files.<br>
<br>
I use Cinelerra. Yes it's not user friendly but not supposed to be
anyway.<br>
Strength ? a render farm system that allows me to process half a
million of 1600x1200 RGB Tiff files overnight through NFS and 8
linux boxes without EVER crashing.<br>
<br>
My 2 cents experience.<br>

Gnash is an open source alternative to flash.<br>

OpenShot is a video editor.<br>

For what it's worth^2, it seems to me that Linux<br>

I hope that helps,<br>
