Video production software for low end Ubuntu machine?

I have an old ass pc DELL 8400 with RAM Maxed out and 2 160gb HDs. The thing meets all my needs on a daily basis but I have never done any video production. Anyone have any ideas on what works here?

ffmpeg
 
openshot works pretty good for simple editing and absolutely lightweight

This should help: Top 5 Linux Video Editor Software

If you find you can't edit efficiently due to your system lacking the nessesary horespower, you could try another Linux distro that would be easier on the resources, that Unity in Ubuntu is way resource hungry. Try Arch Linux or TinyCore, you can get tons of info on all the different Linux distros over at distrowatch.com
 
Unity is that touch screen bullshit like Windows tablet right? When I upgraded the distro I took one look at that and found out how to make it look like 10. Tablets should work like tablets and pcs should work like pcs....anything else is communism and should be shot with a high powered assault rifle.

Well I guess yeah and no..., it's sorta kinda like aero for windows, however that new Unity launcher uses a shitload of memory. I hear ya and agree with you 100%, that new touch bullshit is absolutely useless IMO :)

Unity provides a complete, simple, touch-ready environment that integrates your applications and your workflow.

Unity is designed for mouse, touchpad, and keyboard use. It includes a new panel and application launcher that makes it fast and easy to access preferred applications, such as the browser, while removing screen elements that are rarely used.


Unity has a vertical task management panel on the left-hand side and a menu panel at the top of the screen. Using a sidebar for task management conserves vertical screen space, which is much more valuable on today?s widescreen monitors. The task panel displays icons for commonly-used applications and programs that are currently running. Clicking on an icon will give the target application focus if it is already running or launch it if it is not already running. If you click the icon of an application that already has focus, Unity will activate an Expose-style view of all the open windows associated with that application.

Since you like the way Ubuntu 10 is/was, if I were you I would downgrade to Ubuntu 10 and get rid of Unity altogether, I think you'll notice right away how your box will run v10 way more efficiently than say v12.04/12.10 or any version for that matter that uses Unity.
