From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m glad to see open source video editors are still evolving. I know Davinci Resolve has become popular with Linux YouTubers for serious work.

I’d be curious to know a video editors opinion of what’s missing. Is it stability, GPU acceleration, UI or a combination of all of the above? What would be needed for you to switch to Kdenlive for example?

I don't make videos anymore. It's been like over 2 years now, but I remember trying to have a consistent piece of text across the video, and kdenlive made me create a whole new layer for that, which takes a ton from the performance. I remember getting really pissed about it. Lol

I tried to edit a 2hr video in kdenlive. It hung immediately after I told it where the file was. I believe it tried to load and process the whole thing into a subset. It should have stored references instead. I can check again tho I did recently change from ubuntu where Kde was like 1 year out of date.

They miss easy to use effects and filters.

Make a piece of text pop in with a nice animation and sound effect letter by letter.

Libraries of premade stuff is ALWAYS the benefit of Adobe, MSOffice etc.

And this is so easy.

Does KDENlive have some form of community stuff gallery?

I think it mostly relies on Glaxnimate for graphics and stuff, which supports most SVG and Lottie animations.

So there's not really a library, but things aren't hard to find.
