TuxJam 133 – Make Cuts

tuxjam image

Dave (aka thelovebug), Andrew (aka mcnalu), Al and Kevie go for a stroll in the autumnal meadows of Free and Open Source Software and Commonly Creative tunes. As is our custom we begin with a rummage through some unusual releases recently listed on distrowatch.

Kevie and Andrew then turn their attention to Libre Cuts which is “a free, open-source video editor for Android that prioritizes simplicity, efficiency, and privacy. Built for seamless performance, it empowers creators to easily select, edit, and export watermark-free videos locally on their device.”

Next up, Al and Dave take a look at another App called MakeACopy which “is an open-source offline document scanner with OCR for Android, designed for privacy-friendly and self-hosted document workflows.”

Finally we do a roundup of feedback received and also reminisce about the good times had in Manchester in our previous “Half-Cut” special episode. We also look forward to upcoming podcrawls on 24th October and 19th December.

Tunes licensed under Creative Commons type licenses played in this episode are:

  1. MorWeen – The Worker
  2. Trina Chakrabarti – Calling
  3. Katherine – Wearing Out
  4. Janevo – Bus Stop (Boom Bap Chillhop)
