Lombard
Lombard is an open source project to develop a non-linear video editor for the GNOME desktop environment.
status
Lombard is in an early development stage and is not suitable for real-work video work just yet. We're actively working to improve Lombard and plan an 0.1 release in the first half of 2010.
features
- import clips in any GStreamer-supported format
- arrange audio and video clips on a timeline
- copy, paste, split, trim clips
- export to a file in Ogg Theora format
future goals
- multiple audio tracks
- titles and captions
- transitions and effects
architecture
Lombard is based on GStreamer and Gnonlin and written in Vala. It shares much of its code with our open source audio editor, Fillmore. Lombard and Fillmore projects are compatible: they can be opened in either application. This means, for example, that you can develop a video in Lombard and then open it in Fillmore to do specialized audio work.
