Cool, is someone up for doing a kdenlive session? (as that was mentioned
most) We could do something on Sunday, and try and collect footage
before. Does anyone who has worked with it have any experience in terms
of what formats work well with it? We could do some transcoding before
hand, to try and not already run into problems when importing video.
There will probably be some HD cameras, and working with HD really slows
things down, so preparing a footage pool with a more reasonable
resolution might be worth the effort and make it more inclusive for
people with slower machines.

I'd be very much up for giving it a go!

Cheers,
