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.

Never heard of this, does it hold up compared to kdenlive?

OpenShot went terribly for me. Cool idea but did not work. Ate hours and hours of editing by failing to export. I tried everything, even opening Github issues to figure out where the problem was. Systematically re-cut and edited and moved every clip. Still couldn't get it to export even though everything worked flawlessly in editing and previewing. Tried switching to latest, alpha, whatever, none of them could export. Absolute nightmare. Do not recommend. Eventually had to re-do everything in kdenlive.

i wonder why we have so many foss video editors. i get if there were multiple implementations to serve KDE / Gnome but it's insane that all of them have some kind of bugs or fall short of having the features somebody trying to leave the commercial ones behind would want...

openshot
kdenlive
shotcut
flowblade
pitivin

as far as i'm aware there's only one gimp and i would have guessed photo editing to be more simple than video editing

There are Krita and Pinta too

[–] gkpy@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

aren't those more drawing apps and less photo editing?

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 0 points 4 months ago

Yes, but often alternatives.

Dont use KDE/QT... it's not OSS.
