Partially OT, but does anyone know any open source video editor or better library for merging multiple videos into a 360 degree video? (python would be awesome)
MoviePy might do what you need, particularly the CompositeVideoClip class. See https://zulko.github.io/moviepy/ref/VideoClip/VideoClip.html...

Not to mention Kdenlive, which is being actively developed again and has been the most capable and stable of the free video editors I've used this past year (including Openshot, Pitivi, and Flowblade)
Or if you want something that works now, you can use Blender, which has a very full featured video editor built in to it, and has had for a long time.
However openshot did commit the cardinal sin of second system effect. Version 1 was doing well, with a whole bunch of changes queued for version 2 including going cross platform, changing the UI toolkit, updating/changing the media toolkit, and a thousand other features. Version 2 has been imminent for well over a year now, and still doesn't seem too close to release.

> I think open source/permissive licensing works for libraries. I think it's been amply demonstrated that that doesn't work well at all for applications PostgreSQL is an application, not a library. It is permissively licensed. It has at least one major proprietary downstream derivative that contributes back significantly to the core. Its usually recognized as a successful open source RDBMS. Please explain to me how i…
I am surprised that you would attempt to stretch the definition of "application", in the consumer-software context in which this discussion very obviously is, to server software. Well, that's a lie, I'm not surprised.
I am still seeing a complete lack of support for the claim that it is "amply demonstrated" that permissive licensing "doesn't work at all for applications", even restricting "applications" to consumer applications.

Is that first screenshot showing QT and the last one GTK, or is it just QtCurve or some other theme-trickery?

Folks may also be interested in the Openshot cross platform video editor (no affiliation other than as a user). They use (and helped develop) some of the libraries used by Shotcut. http://openshot.org/ However openshot did commit the cardinal sin of second system effect. Version 1 was doing well, with a whole bunch of changes queued for version 2 including going cross platform, changing the UI toolkit, updating/chang…

Looks fairly interesting for some of my more casual use, I might give it a download. Any big gotchas that you have come across or any tricks using it (special plugins, etc)?
Like most (all?) of the Linux video editors you have the occasional crash. It happens way less than Openshot or Pitivi but it's still present. I don't know if it also happens on Windows or OSX. You can version control your edits and do text operations since it's a MLT file so that helps. Not really my thing but you can insert HTML5 overlays and animations. There's a demo on the youtube channel but it's quite "verbose…
I don't get this. Why is this true for the genre? I've been trying various video editors for 10 years, and they all crash. Every last one of them. I recently gave up on Windows Moviemaker because it crashes rendering anything over 30 minutes long. (Not only does it crash, it freezes Windows so bad you have to powercycle.)
