Cinelerra, alternative Linux à Windows Movie Maker
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Cinelerra can replace Windows Movie Maker, but only for users willing to climb a steeper learning curve. It handles all the basic tasks—importing, trimming, adding transitions, titles and simple audio tweaks—so it will work for straightforward projects. However, its interface is geared toward semi‑professional work, and many of the convenience features that made Movie Maker approachable (one‑click export presets, direct upload buttons, very simple timeline) are absent. Beginners who need a quick, drag‑and‑drop workflow may find Cinelerra overkill, while hobbyists who want more control will appreciate the extra power.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Movie Maker
Windows Movie Maker used its own proprietary project format (*.wlmp) that Cinelerra cannot read. You can still import the raw video and audio files that were used in a Movie Maker project, but the edit decisions (cuts, transitions, titles) will need to be rebuilt in Cinelerra. Exported MP4 or AVI files from Movie Maker can be opened without issue.

Questions fréquentes
Is Cinelerra suitable for absolute beginners?
It works, but the learning curve is steep; beginners may prefer a simpler editor like Kdenlive or OpenShot.
Can I export directly to YouTube from Cinelerra?
No built‑in upload feature; you must export the file and upload manually via a browser or third‑party tool.
Will my old Windows Movie Maker project files open in Cinelerra?
No, the proprietary *.wlmp format is not supported; you’ll need to re‑create the edit using the original media files.
