Kino, alternative Linux à Windows Movie Maker

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Kino can serve as a very basic replacement for Windows Movie Maker for users who need only simple cuts, trims and DV‑oriented exports. It works on Linux, has a straightforward GTK+ interface and handles capture, timeline editing and audio level tweaks. However, it lacks many of the conveniences that Movie Maker offered—no built‑in transitions, limited text overlay options, no direct MP4 export, and no one‑click upload to services. Beginners who are comfortable with a minimal UI and can tolerate manual encoding steps will find it usable; power‑users will quickly outgrow it.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Movie Maker

Kino cannot open Windows Movie Maker project files (.wlmp) because those are proprietary to Microsoft. It can import common video containers such as AVI, MPEG‑1 and Ogg Theora, so you would need to convert any existing WMV or MP4 clips to a supported format before editing. Exported files from Kino will need to be re‑encoded to MP4 or AVI with a separate tool if you need them for other platforms.

Passer de Windows Movie Maker à Kino, étape par étape

  1. Install Kino from your distribution's repository or build it from source.
  2. Convert existing video clips to DV, MPEG‑1 or Ogg Theora using ffmpeg.
  3. Create a new Kino project and import the converted clips.
  4. Use the timeline to cut, trim and arrange clips as needed.
  5. Add text overlays with the limited title tool or external graphics.
  6. Export the final video and, if required, re‑encode to MP4/AVI with ffmpeg.

Questions fréquentes

Can I import WMV files directly into Kino?

No. WMV is not a supported input format; you must convert it to a supported codec first.

Does Kino provide transition effects?

It offers only basic cuts; there are no built‑in transitions or animated effects.

Is there a way to add subtitles or captions?

Kino has limited text overlay support; for full subtitle tracks you’ll need to add them later with a tool like mkvmerge or HandBrake.
