hi, a category sounds about right. Is the traffic massive? in which case maybe forum?
Is this stuff like this? - 
In which case I’d say No! Or were you joking? I’ve never heard of vector hippies before…!
Audio - I use Ardour - https://ardour.org/ - brilliant - but audio sounds a bit out-of-gamut for Pixls IMHO.
It was a joke!
Well, you can also use Audacity to create glitch art - which is very well related to pixls - but I don’t believe that and your points would justify a dedicated Ardour, LMMS, Audacity, Musescore (…) category yet.
ffmpeg would be the first one on my list for sure. There are also mediainfo and bento4 for metadata manipulation as well as diaporama for slideshow creating.
Maybe we have the start of a foss-r-us network (with three pillars, Image, Video, Audio), like they evolved the whole StackExchange network from StackOverflow. PatDavid, the new web tycoon 
Photography means memories for me. Video files can be memories too which is why I consider them photography for myself. Speaking for myself only
But audio is like images for your ears!
Yay for Inkscape, Scribus and everything Libre Graphics! One of our main workhorses is Inkscape and am sure my partner would find it much easier to participate here.
As for video, I had something like this in mind a while back. I would suggest not to divide by programs but use a general video editing category. Shotcut has a private forum and Kdenlive uses the KDE one. I would enjoy a mix of r/editors with r/Linux_Filmmaking with a pinch of r/videography.
Great initiative! 
Natron is a compositor not an editor.
Vector and video is fine by me. I actively use inkscape got making figures, and edit a lot of video for my YouTube channel too. FOSS video is indeed a bit of a mess. Blender is by far the most powerful, but not at all user friendly. Luckily, there’s some very good tutorials for it on YouTube, so I figured out how to use it reasonably well at one point. I used to use it extensively for a while, but I stopped because it takes too much time to set up and do right. Shotcut always crashes on me, but I like the interface. Flowblade never worked well for me. Pitivi didn’t run the one time I tried it out. Right now I tend to use Kdenlive. I’m not over the moon in love with it, but it’s reasonably easy to use and it works. Another project to keep in the fold would be AVIdemux. It only does a handful of things, but it does them very well.
Hi, I am the one that contacted you for the video processing software inventory, over email.
I am still willing to help !
To me, the fundamental connection is FOSS-imaging. So, free software that support the imaging endeavor. Now, one might think that excludes audio, but if you’ve take even one film class you know that’s not right.
Imagining this forum as a place where all aspects of “imaging” can be discussed, in terms of the FOSS tools available, just feels right…
Aha! So everyone knows, @Montlys reached out to me a little while back about possibly extending what we’re doing specifically for video options. I think if he was up for it we could absolutely use the help and someone to champion the cause.
I vote for Inkscape branch, also Scribus and Krita, but not separate forum.
I think FOSS have many advantages: unified python scripting language, GMIC as unified filter library, even unified look , which every program inherits from GTK or Qt; it also ability to use Linux as safe primary OS with no worries to keep crypto wallet on it or just avoid any junk or malware; ability to improve software according to needs(I have open ticket on Freeplane and as result I get feature I need in next release, I was quite impressed by it).
There is many forums for any separate grafics software, but not for open source bundle(maybe I`m wrong). I think discuss.pixls is good place to connect them. I wish it would be any cross software showcases of any production or non production workflow, in which every piece of software have participated.
Let`s share and enjoy by Free CG Ecosystem!
phew!
… but an extremely useful tool for video production. Plus, “editor” may not only mean NLEs, it could mean everything one could use for editing video, or am I wrong? I am (obviously, I guess) not a native speaker, so please correct me if I am wrong about that.
I think it is just semantics; you’re both right. When I think of a video editor, I think of an application that is primarily for sequencing a series of clips. However, if you meant editing as in changing what is there, then Natron fits right in.
Thanks @patdavid for reaching out to the Inkscape team and working to support the libre graphics movement as a whole. As just a recent observer this feels like the kind of supportive community I would want welcoming newcomers to FOSS. It would be awesome if Inkscapers had a community of support here as well, as I’m sure many of your members are using it side-by-side with GIMP, Darktable, etc. as I do. Let’s keep exploring what that would look like if it’s something your community wants here as well.
Nearly all of the professional photographers I know are involved in film at some level. I have used Canon DSLRs running Magic Lantern for almost all of my own professional film work. I think making a home for video here would be a very natural fit and much needed. For what it is worth (@paperdigits) I actually use Blender for most of my editing, primarily because it is cross-platform and stable.
As far as people involved in video… Farid Abdelnour at Estúdio Gunga is not only doing video work but they have been helping the Kdenlive project. Sam Muirhead has done some good freelance work. I’m sure there are many others that I’d love to hear about and collaborate with, but I don’t know where to find them (hence the need for a community like this).
I would by no means consider myself a seasoned photographer, so I’m not sure what I can add to the well of expertise here, but I’ll keep an eye out for ways I may be able to contribute.
Hello and welcome! I believe @frd is already contributing around these parts, but we really should poke him more about video and what we should do to expand in a way that can support filmmakers and videographers better.
This is exactly my thought as well. If there’s not a community or place that immediately springs to mind when you want to find folks doing certain type of work, it’s a clear indication that something is missing (and an opportunity to possibly do something about it).
Oh yes! I couldn’t agree more.
Me neither - so spent days surfing the internet trying to find Linux and FLOSS Filmmaker. Here are some places I found:
There is a tag called video editing on opensource.com
Micah Pendleton makes Filmmaking Tutorials on Youtube using linux and mostly open source programs
Sebastian Pichelhofer and his team develop the Axiom Open Source Camera
Sam Muirhead makes professional documentaries - often related to open source topics
Some people from Brazil who develop add-ons to make Blender a powerful and usable for video Editing
"open source cinema" - a organization/company who focus on more sustainable filmmaking
not necissarily related, but there is a network of Creative Commons film festivals - so, creative commons, but not necisarily made using free and open source tools
There is an “Open Everything Film Festival” in Vienna this year - organized by Sebastian Pichelhofer.
It was quite difficult to find all them because there is barely a place where they all find together - and I don’t believe it is complete, and if there is a platform for FLOSS Filmmaker to unite, the number will only grow.
