Hello fellow Linux users!
I'm new to Linux. In October last year (2025), I installed the Xubuntu distribution on my laptop, and I liked it so much that I ended up installing Ubuntu on my desktop computer. Since then, I haven't opened Windows even once (though I have a dual-boot setup).
I am not a programmer but a filmmaker, and I decided to migrate from Adobe software to open-source apps on this system, including Cinelerra-GG.
I have already edited one video on this operating system, but I used Kdenlive at the time because the Cinelerra-GG download site was down.
I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I speak Spanish and know some English, but not enough to communicate fluently here. So, I am translating this text with Gemini AI; I hope I’m making myself clear.
I present to you the scene “Circo Romano” (Roman Circus) from the play “Instinto Humano” (Human Instinct).
It is a theatrical performance staged in a warehouse at the IMPA cooperative factory. This scene is set in ancient times, during the Roman Empire, featuring a gladiator fight and a bacchanal with Caesar's maidens.
You can watch it at the following link => https://youtu.be/aQl-YHnZLX4?si=bH96fWzRUjQmlV_z
It was filmed in 2011, but I had discarded it due to image quality issues. Now, I’ve been able to rescue it thanks to the emergence of new technologies.
The video was conceived, assembled, and edited on the GNU/Linux Operating System, Ubuntu distribution. I used the free software Cinelerra-GG and processed underexposure image noise using FFmpeg via the terminal. I also removed some of the reverb from the factory warehouse and improved voice presence using Audacity.
The meaning (and purpose) of the video is to be an artistic, historical, and cultural representation; it is not intended to be explicit.
The directors of the play are Alma Farinelli and Pablo Goldberg.
I would love for you to watch it, spread the word, and share it. Please feel free to interact with the video (like, comment, and subscribe to the channel). This is how I receive support for my work.
I hope to be welcomed into this forum, where I plan to be a regular participant!
Thanks, everyone!
