I’m looking for a good app that allows me to create and edit video. I’ve tried a number of them but none work very well on OpenSUSE. Any you can recommend?

I use kdenlive extensively. I am very happy with it.
Hi
What DE do you use? I think kdenlive is supposed to be good;
If your using Gnome and want to do subtitles, I have built
gnome-subtitles;
http://gnome-subtitles.sourceforge.net/

For transcoding I use handbrake.

I’ve seen it used and installed it myself. Very impressive so far.
Good luck.

Yep, kdenlive for me too. Also very nice for ripping audiotracks from video. Good for simple video jobs as well as (semi) professional usage.
I know some guys that create professional video using cinelerra. They say it’s a bit of a learning curve, but once used to it, it’s got an awful lot of features.
Kino used to be a good linear video editor, don’t know if it’s still maintained.
In fact there’s loads of tools on Packman, that can be used for video editing.
This one also seems to be good: Open Movie Editor - Free and Open Source Video Editor , don’t know it myself
Hi:
I need to edit a home video composing pictures with background music. Nothing fancy, just 5 to 10 minutes of a slideshow with some effects. Which one do you recommend? Oh! important, I need to be able to export it to regular DVD format (to be played with a regular DVD player). Thanks!
I use KDENlive extensively and I am very happy with it.
Ok, I’ll give it a try. Thanks! A question though, can I export it to regular dvd format?
KDEnlive suffers from a problem that inflicts most Linux applications - you are given a zillion choices. So YES, the choice is there to select a DVD mpeg compatible video file, BUT it can be tricky to find the right setting.
Having stated that, one will still need to use ANOTHER Linux application to take the kdenlive created mpeg file, and use it in the creation of the video_ts directory with the various .vob files (so that the video_ts can be burned to a video dvd format using an application such as K3b). I typically use dvdauthor to create the video_ts directory, but its a command line program. You may wish to use some front end program instead of dvdauthor.

I don’t think that’s right. It’s been months and months since I did it,
but I was able to do everything from inside kdenlive short of actually
burning the video. There are tutorials on the kdenlive page that show
how to do it. IIRC, it created an ISO as the final output.
When the whole thing had been created, all I had to do was burn the ISO
to dvd with k3b…

You mean my thought that KDEnlive does not provide a dvd capability ? Because I’m pretty certain the remainder of my post is right. It should be as I have created over a 100 dvds using this method.
But I’ve never attempted creating a video_ts directory from within KDEnlive. As you alluded to, they do have EXCELLENT training videos on the kdenlive site.
In my case, I prefer to use applications that are optimized for a specific use, as opposed to an attempt to find an all-in-one that may be good at one thing and not as good at another.

Yeah, just the part about needing to use a program external to kdenlive
(other than k3b for the actual burning). Sorry for the confusion.

You’re much more experienced with video than I am - I’ve got just a few
under my belt. I just used what was available in kdenlive following the
tutorials. Thus, the details of creating a video_ts directory were
somewhat hidden, IIRC. That is, I didn’t think about it in terms of a
video_ts directory. Just made chapters which were exported, then made
chapters and a menu. The program brought it all together and created an
ISO. It was all driven by an XML file.

Right. In my case, since I’m just starting out, I wanted simple. I’d
like to learn more but it’s a complex subject and takes time…

Hi all:
Thaks for your suggestions. I did install kdenlive and tried it out, but it didn’t really fit my needs (Actually, I believe it was much more than I actually needed). Anyway, looking around I came up with Imagine, which seems to be exactly what I was looking for. It’s not a very versatile application, as a matter of fact, it’s quite simple, but it seem to be doing the job alright. Right now I’m exporting my slideshow as an flv in order to test to see how the music & photos are in sync, and if everything goes as planned I’ll be saving it as VOB and then into a DVD. Thank you all!
I think you mean “Imagination” ?
If so, glad to read imagination worked for you ! 
My understanding is it only takes still pix and creates a video from them. Hence I did not recommend it as I had thought you were working with both still image and video clips (for input).
Well, maybe I didn’t make myself completely clear, sorry 
And yes, I have burned the dvd and played it on my dvd player, and it seems to work ok. I have some sync issues I believe, but I made a second exporting and it turned out better apparently. Thanks!
