The VideoLan Movie Creator, VLMC 0.0.1 for Linux to be released after VLC 1.1

You would know by now that an awesome cross-platform Video Editor, VideoLan Movie Creator, based on VLC's framework is under development. VLMC project was announced by VideoLan in December last year. We are still waiting for its first public release, scheduled on 24th March, yup! just 1 day . But unfortunately it seems that 24th will witness the release of VLMC only for win32 platform, the Linux version has been delayed till the release of VLC 1.1. Well, before its release lets take a look at what all VLMC aims to offer.

Please note that this first public release of VLMC 0.0.1 is going to be a preview release, so there is still a whole lot to come. Here is the release schedule as planned by VLMC developers during FOSDEM 2010.

• February 17th: Feature Freezet
• March 3rd: String Freeze
• March 24th: Release (only for win32 as of now).

But according to the developer Hugo, the release of VLMC for Linux will be delayed until the release of VLC 1.1, where as VLMC for win32 can be expected in the next few days.

Currently VLMC 0.0.1 can import video, cut sections out, resize, trim clips, export a render, and playback in real time. Last week, a new demo video of VLMC was released, showing it in action with all the new features. You might want to take a look at it, to get a better idea of its cool features.

Although VLMC, just like VLC, aims to be a free, open-source, cross-platform video editor but this technical preview release is only available for Windows and Unix(later). VLMC is looking for contributors, especially for development on the MacOS platform. Interested people are encouraged to contact VLMC's developers. Check out the VLMC projects in GSoc 2010.
