-I still did not find any suitable non-linear video-editor.
+Currently I am using [[https://www.blender.org/|blender]] to make my videos.
-  * I started with [[https://kdenlive.org/|Kdenlive]] (v0.9.10). But it crashes to often, it has to be restarted because some actions can't be performed in the timeline for unknown reasons. What made me change was the speed video effect. It does not stack with the rotate effect, and it does not work correctly (it uses video before the beginning of the video part, and does no go until the end)
+Most know it for its 3D modelling, but it can also do video editing.
+It is slick (I avoid software larger than 100 MB), stable, and does the job quite well.

   * [[http://www.shotcutapp.com/|Shotcut]] does not provide speed control.
   * [[http://cinelerra.org|Cinelerra]] does not support a lot of input media. But I would like to test it further.
-  * [[https://www.blender.org/|Blender]] does not provide Motion-Compensated Frame Interpolation. This means that the input video frame rate has to match the project frame rate, else it gets unsynchronized. But that's the one I am trying at the moment.

 To encode the video before and after editing I use [[https://www.ffmpeg.org/|ffmpeg]].
 It does a good job at transcoding videos.
+And for the final video packaging I use [[https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/|mkvtoolnix]].

 On the first pass I transcribe the video with approximate timing, only using the keyboard.
 I correct the timing with the mouse on the second pass.
+==== work flow ====
+To help me making videos, I have a bunch of scripts which do all sorts of side tasks:
+  * compress the raw recordings
+  * clean the audio
+  * render the video
+  * extract the chapter marks
+  * export the transcript
+  * package the final video
+  * create a torrent
+  * upload to my server
+  * upload to youtube
+But I correct and extend them for each new episode.
+I just have to make the recordings, put them together, transcribe the the audio, run the scripts, and finally click on the publish button.
