Although being much praised for its features friendly to novices, it is disfavored for a bunch of excuses as well. As it is free and easy to use, Avidemux is mostly picked by beginners who are fresh to video editing. Please consider this a critical bug suitable for back-porting to the LTS release of Ubuntu as it is a user-data loss bug.Summary: If you are starters who just step into the video editing industry, you won't want to miss Avidemux. What happens if the power fails? /tmp will be lost, along with the user's recording! Worse, the user might close kazam mid editing in openshot, then what would happen? Putting such valuable user data in a volatile location is just asking for data loss imho. (in the file names above "*" is replaces with kazam's random file name string)Īlthough you could argue that openshot is in some way responsible for this I think the blame is squarely in Kazam's court as Kazam has supplied a file path to openshot which openshot cannot be expected to know will be deleted at an arbitrary point in the future by an apparently innocuous user action.Įven if you are using openshot, kazam should put the video somewhere persistent like ~/Videos/kazam/ and not in tmp/ so they don't get lost. * Your data is now gone, and your kazam user is now furious. * Get the dreaded message "The following file(s) no longer exist. * Re-open the project (File > Recent Projects > *.osp) * Close Kazam (including the one in the activity area), note disappearance of temp file, _losing the recording_! * As a naive user, think that your valuable recording is now safe, however openshot has only saved project info not the raw video data.
* In OpenShot save the project (File > Save Project), defaults are fine for this reproduction. * Select "Open with: 'OpenShot Video Editor'" (the only editor available by default on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS * (Note the appearance of a /tmp/kazam_*.movie file) Just completely lost the video I'd carefully recorded, a bloody awful first experience with Kazam.
