Apple eats video editing jobs
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, yes indeed. Step forward Object Matrix and its MatrixStore. It's a
| clusterable set of nodes, three at a minimum, with each node having up to
| 24TB of SATA disk storage (1TB drives) and Linux x86 server running the
| MatrixStore software. The capacity is no problem for now as a 50x4TB node
| setup has been tested and the company says 24TB nodes would work just as
| well, meaning a 1.2PB cluster is feasible.
|
| Object Matrix is primarily a software company and makes its technology
| available, in the UK only at present, as an integrated hardware and software
| product with Linux cluster nodes or as software only for Mac OS nodes.

KDE 4 Video Editor Kdenlive Released
,----[ Quote ]
| The promising nonlinear video editor Kdenlive has made its first non beta for
| KDE 4, version 0.7 is on us. This closes another gap of the free desktop
| world: a usable open source video editor. Kdenlive has the potential to
| become the Amarok or K3b of video editors, offering comfort and elegance so
| far not available in alternative programs. The feature set looks amazingly
| complete and far exceeds the KDE 3 version already. Check the release
| announcement.

Video Editing in Linux: Kino v Open Movie v KdenLive
,----[ Quote ]
| Out of the 3 programs previewed, I liked Kdenlive the best, but not having
| the Title show up was a real bummer. Kdenlive could eventually become my
| editor of choice by the time it gets to 1.0 status. The trick is going to be
| to keep the development moving and thus keep my interest alive. This type of
| progression is what has helped Linux reach critical mass as desktop choice.

| At first, studios had no choice but to develop Linux applications in house.
| The film industry has millions of lines of Linux code, both desktop
| applications and server pipelines. Studio Linux programmers write code in
| C++, Python, Perl, and Java. What does all this secret proprietary Linux code
| do? And, why do they do parallel programming with grid computing? How does
| the film industry use renderfarms with thousands of CPUs?
