This is not question about how Linux works or something similar. I just want ask if is there some similar application like Xilisoft Video Converter and Sony Vegas Pro 10. Because I need an application, where I can edit a video, add subtitles, convert and more. And something like Vegas Pro for editing videos (like cutting, color edits, add music and other). Thanks.

Edit: + software like notepad++

Alternative 1 to Xilisoft Video Converter: I always do my conversion on the command line with ffmpeg as it's fast and effective. There is a bit of a learning curve, however there are numerous front ends available for ease of use several of which are mentioned here: https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmpeg-amia-wiki/wiki/3)-Graphical-User-Interface-Applications-using-FFmpeg

Alternative 2 Another powerful video editor that is an alternative to Sony Vegas Pro (open source) is cinelerra.

Alternative 3 There are several good alternatives for programming editors like notepad++. Ive used both gedit and scite (both of which are available via the software center) and found them both to be quite satisfactory.

Note: To install SciTE you'll need to enable the universe repository first.
