Sucia Studio for Linux: a video editor for streamers
The same Sucia Studio as on Windows, on 64-bit Linux: record or go live, cut a long recording down with a transcript made on your computer, and deliver the video, its Shorts, captions and upload kit. It installs and updates through the Sucia app, which comes as an AppImage.
64-bit Linux, such as Ubuntu 22.04 or later, with about 1.5 GB free: the download is the Sucia app's AppImage, which installs Sucia Studio with a free Sucia account. 14-day free trial, no card.
Install it in three steps
- Download the Sucia app Download for Linux gets the Sucia app as an AppImage. Make the file executable (in a terminal, chmod +x followed by the file's name, or in the file's properties), then open it.
- Sign in with your Sucia account The app opens your browser to sign in, or to create a free account; no password is typed into the app.
- Install Sucia Studio Open Sucia Studio in the app's Store and install it. Updates come through the Sucia app too, and download only the files that changed.
What works on Linux
Every page along the bottom: Record, Stream, Media, Cut, Edit, Audio, Photo, Deliver and Help. Open recordings of many hours from where they are, with every sound track kept apart; make the transcript, take out the silence and find the moments; edit with motion, captions, color and the bleep list; clean and level your voice for YouTube; make thumbnails; and export the video, its Shorts, SRT and WebVTT captions, chapters and the upload kit. Go live on Twitch, YouTube and another RTMP service at once, with both chats in one list and overlays on the picture.
What differs from Windows
- Exports and recordings use the processor's H.264 encoder, because most Linux systems do not let the app's engine use the graphics card for it, so they take longer.
- Recordings keep their sound as Opus; exports carry AAC sound, as on Windows, from an encoder built into Studio.
- The computer's own sound, such as the game or a call, cannot be recorded on Linux yet; the microphone records as usual. Recordings made elsewhere with several sound tracks open with every track.
- HEVC (H.265) recordings do not open; H.264 recordings do.
- The transcript's speech engine runs on the processor; there is no graphics-card pack for Linux.
What your computer needs
A 64-bit Linux desktop, such as Ubuntu 22.04 or later, with sound (every desktop has it; on Ubuntu 24.04 and later the package is libasound2t64), and about 1.5 GB free. Studio keeps the browser engine's sandbox where your system allows it, and starts without it only where the system refuses it, as Ubuntu 24.04 and later can. Your Sucia account is the same on Linux and Windows, so whatever Sucia Studio access the account has applies on both.
Questions
Which Linux distributions does Sucia Studio run on?
64-bit desktop Linux such as Ubuntu 22.04 or later, or similar, with sound. The Sucia app comes as an AppImage, so it needs no package made for your distribution.
Is there a .deb, Flatpak or Snap?
No. The Sucia app comes as an AppImage, and it installs Sucia Studio and keeps it up to date.
Can I record game sound on Linux?
Not yet. On Linux, Studio records your screen or a window, your camera and your microphone; the computer's own sound cannot be captured yet. A recording made elsewhere with the game on its own track opens with every track.
Does Sucia Studio use my graphics card on Linux?
Usually not: most Linux systems do not let the app's engine use the graphics card for H.264, so exports and recordings use the processor and take longer. The transcript always runs on the processor on Linux.
