By the end of 1846, the Iowa portion of the Indiana Territory had been accepted into the Union as the State of Iowa. By 1851, the new state had grown to the extent that the original 22 counties needed to be divided into smaller, more accessible units. Accordingly, on January 15, 1851, the Iowa General Assembly enacted an omnibus bill which created 43 new counties by reducing the previous counties.

Open Movie Editor is a free open-source non-linear video editing and post-processing program for Linux, included in the Ubuntu and Debian repositories. Per the website, the design intent is "for basic movie making capabilities, it aims to be powerful enough for the amateur movie artist, yet easy to use." The developer had worked on the Cinelerra project, but started the Open Movie Editor project when he started making amateur films because he felt the available software wasn't meeting his needs. A unique feature of Open Movie Editor is that it supports JACK's transport control functionality, which allows you to synchronize sound with other JACK transport-aware apps; this makes it powerful for soundtrack production, for example. Open Movie Editor supports the Frei0r plugin framework for audio effects, it uses the Gmerlin audio/video library and exports to QuickTime formats, but will natively use ffmpeg for rendering options. It natively supports the DV AVI Type 2 format, supported by a number of video editing applications for Windows.

Its last release to date is dated 05 Jan 2009. The developer announced 08 Dec 2009 on his blog that he had to "reschedule OME into a lower priority class," putting the project in the same situation as CineFX and Kino. Movie editor could be used as a source for editing videos. Comparison of video editing software List of video editing software Official website
