I made a mental note long ago to NEVER get another ATI video card because of its incompatability with Linux. All this ATI advancement happened behind my back?????? I'm shocked!
Can anyone recommend something that approaches Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro? That's part of the problem with Linux as I see it - it's playing around at being good, but never quite reaching the pinacle (no pun intended as that's another video editing software for PC).
A friend recently sent me a video she took with her phone upright. This means the video plays sideways on my screen. Thought about how to fix this...
Using standard UNIX utilities, ended up ripping each frame to a raw image, rotate each image and rebuild the video. Worked well, except the video played as a narrow strip down the center of the screen. To fix the aspect ratio, appended each frame to itself horizontally and created stereo video.
By now, was having lots of fun. Next I appended frames so left side played forward and right played backward (very funny result). Did the same with the left and right channel audio. Can now do different things with both video and audio streams. Changing speed, spinning, various transitions, brightening, zooming, cropping, etc, etc.. Can even make the quality of the resulting video the same as the original, at least close enough that I can???t tell the difference
Its been a lot of fun! Watching movies now, I pay more attention to what is done and find there is nothing I cannot imitate and program around. Yes, it takes a lot of disk-space and to speed things up I distribute across multiple virtual machines.

For the video and audio processing I use mplayer, mencoder, sox and lame.
