@VeronicaExplains made a great video that covers kdenlive, too! • I make all my videos using Linux. Here’s how.
all footage incl. pixel animations is mine.
my wallpaper is a painting by Alois Arnegger ‘winter mountain landscape in evening light’.
I’ve used a fair share of video editors over the years. Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve and KDENlive.
Even in Linux Resolve is the better editor and works with my workflow. However the hardware requirements is large, and the use of ffmpeg to convert mp4 aac to a useable format is annoying on Linux, but nothing a batch script can’t help with.
KDENlive feel like an in between step of Windows Movie maker, and. Vegas. It has the functionality of a more advanced video editors, but its UI makes it feel as restrictive as Movie Maker.
There is a strong app here, it just needs polish like Audacity is getting. Hoping it gets better, since actual competition in Linux is a win for everyone.
Well we’ll sick Tantacrul on it once he’s done with Audacity, MuseScore, GIMP and FreeCAD.
I am just hopeful other open sources devs takes inspiration from the work done here.
It has been my experience that major improvements to the UX of open source projects comes when someone who has been there the whole time leaves and new blood replaces them, often someone with commercial interest. FreeCAD got a major bump when Ondsel came in, for example. Ondsel didn’t have a viable business model, “We’ll take the crappy FOSS joke CAD app and sell cloud services for it” which I really hope didn’t get them a single customer, and I’m really happy some of their money was deprived of them improving FreeCAD.
I don’t think there is much you can do to fix freecad. That said, it’s my go to cad software and the improvements while small are nice to have.
Well like, the actual smart dimension tool was nice, thanks for finally joining us in the 21st century. An actual assembly workbench, even if it is a bit jank, we finally got that out the door. My understanding is a big reason that was able to go through was some old blood departed. And I think that’s a story that FOSS can tell over and over again, someone likes the code they wrote the way they wrote it for sentimental reasons even if it has the UX of a yeast infection.
