MiniDV Assembler application is particularly useful for owners of digital MiniDV camera's and others who use the Sony MiniDV format for high quality video production.

'MiniDV Assembler' allows you to append multiple MiniDV files with nice looking transition effects for both audio and video. Multiple transition effects are supported, like cross-fade, zoom, blur and a flash effect.

I created MiniDV Assembler because there are no easy to use video editing applications for Linux yet. Yes, Kino is promising, but its user interface is still a mess and development is slow.

MiniDV Assembler only touches the head and tail parts of the original video files that are needed to create the transition effects. The rest of the video is left untouched, which means zero quality loss.

MiniDV Assembler can also be used to generate video editing scripts that can be run without KDE and Kommander.

Requirements:
Kommander 1.0 ( Part of KDEWebDev package, version 3.3.x or newer)
Imagemagick 6.1 or newer
SMIL Utils
Sox

Installation:

Just unpack the archive and run the 'Installer.kmdr' script. That's it!

Please drop me an e-mail if you experience a problem.
