I have been doing some conservative editing with Kdenlive. I did some filming using the new Samsung camera and the old Microtek and put the two together. I also experimented with some effects as well along with some transitions. This video was also the benchmark to test various rendering levels that best suit the PS3 and Youtube.
I found with the PS3 the best format was MPEG-2 at 2000k bit rate. Produces pretty good video. I found that the XVid seemed to do something weird when the camera pans or there are moving objects, like little boys. I think this is a combination of my camera and the xvid container.
I was pretty happy when I found out I could upload a Theora file to Youtube and have it work. The Theora vids end up a tad smaller than the MPEG and AVI.
I picked a name for the video production, I call myself "Flikit Pictures" as in "I cant flikit off my finger". Gotta get back into Blender and try and produce a promo clip.
Anyway, credits go to Kdenlive, Kino, Ubuntu for the software to do this. Music is by A.K. 1974, from Spain. I am not sure why, but I seem to keep picking music from Spain. The tune is called "Storm" from the album "SEA, A Chilled Experience, Volume 1". Released under the creative commons license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/). You can check out this album and their other music at Jamendo.
Anyway, thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed it.
