Video highlights to introduce Ubuntu MATE

The following tools were used to make the final video on Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS.

virt-manager - to virtualize Ubuntu MATE
Shotcut - to edit the video clips
Audacity - to edit the audio
SimpleScreenRecorder - to record the Ubuntu MATE application screens
GIMP - to edit images and titles
Celluloid - to preview videos and clips

History

The most recent version is for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The original introductory video for Ubuntu MATE 18.04 was hosted on YouTube but the "source" files used to create it were not kept. Following the 20.04 release, this video was created and the "source" files are hosted here in order to make it easier to edit and update without having to re-create the video in its entirety.

Translations

The text in the video is only in English at the moment. The audio is music only.

Setting up the Video Recording and Editing Environment

Ensure that you have the software listed above (or equivalent).

The "rough cuts" folder contains the original raw recordings from the virtual environment with no audio. The "source" folder contains the Shotcut (.mlt) files with edits and filters used to create the video clips. The "clips" folder contains the video and audio clips and graphics files that are assembled in the UM22.04Intro.mlt file. The GIMP (.xcf) file used for creating the graphic images is also contained in this folder.

Clone the files

mkdir ~/highlights-video
cd ~/highlights-video
git clone https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/highlights-video.git
