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?

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?

Creative commons?

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.

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 I can check again tho I did recently change from ubuntu where Kde was like 1 year out of date.

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
