"I have a simple mission: To create an open-source, non-linear video editor for Linux. Many have tried and fallen before me, but for some reason I feel compelled to try myself. I am documenting my journey in this blog for all to read. It will be a dangerous journey, and I might not make it back alive. Hold on tight, and enjoy the ride! By the way, I'm calling this project OpenShot Video Editor!"

The Blender Open Movie project has officially started taking pre-orders for their next movie, Durian! If you want to have your name appear in the credits you must pre-order before September 15th.

Of course, your money is used to help offset the cost of producing the film, and in return you will receive 3 DVDs, your name in the credits, and the good feeling that comes with supporting a great open-source project, and indirectly supporting Linux Video Editing!

Even though Blender doesn't directly cross paths with OpenShot, it has a very important role in the Linux Video Editing landscape. It sends a message to the world that Linux can produce films. Professional quality films. They also promote the fact that they use Ubuntu, Inkscape, Gimp, and other open-source applications in their credits. I pre-ordered my copy. Now it's your turn. =) Learn More...

    Agree with what you say, but also wanted to point out that blender, too is a non liner video editor. ;)

    Will there be any effort in the future to make Blender and OpenShot compatible in any way?

    Say, be able to open certain Blender files in OpenShot?

    @Elijah,
    I love Blender, and hope to have more integration in the future. I'm not sure what kind of integration we can achieve... but we certainly want to try. Thanks!
