Open Movie Editor supports the Frei0r Effects.

But when you run Open Movie Editor in Ubuntu, you see the available Filters and Effects list pretty empty.

This is because you have to install the Frei0r plugins separately. Here is a brief HOWTO:

How to install the Frei0r plugins

Download the tarball clicking on

http://propirate.net/frei0r/latest.tar.gz

Save it in your home folder.

Double click on the archive latest.tar.gz. Click on Extract. Click on Extract again.

You'll get a folder called frei0r-plugins-1.1.21.

Open a terminal and Enter the Frei0r folder with:

cd frei0r-plugins-1.1.21

Type:

./configure

then:

make

and finally:

sudo make install

Launch Open Movie Editor and enjoy the plugins listed in the Filters and Effects tab.
