PiTiVi, alternative Linux à Windows Movie Maker

Mis à jour le 18 octobre 2026

Notre avis

PiTiVi is a decent replacement for Windows Movie Maker for Linux users who want basic to intermediate video editing. It handles trimming, transitions, text overlays, and MP4/AVI exports well, and its interface is clean and beginner-friendly once you get used to the non-modal workflow. While it lacks direct upload to online platforms, it covers the core editing tasks reliably. Best suited for hobbyists and beginners on GNOME-based systems who value simplicity and integration over advanced features.

Ce qui change

PiTiVi has keyframe animation and ripple editing, which Windows Movie Maker lacks
PiTiVi uses a non-modal workflow, differing from Movie Maker’s modal approach

Windows Movie Maker had a simpler, more guided interface for absolute beginners

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Movie Maker

PiTiVi cannot open Windows Movie Maker project files (.mswmm), as they are proprietary and not supported by the GStreamer framework. You would need to export videos from Movie Maker to a common format like MP4 or AVI before using them in PiTiVi. Once exported, PiTiVi can import those video files without issue. Project re-creation in PiTiVi is necessary for editing. There is no known tool to convert .mswmm files directly to PiTiVi projects.
