If the article has “game-changer” in the headline, skip it.
It must be AI related :D
Probably is!
...b-but I've been here the whole time?
Game Changer quickly became one of my favorite shows this year!
It's quoting the source who used that specific term
Does that make it better?
It makes it worse ;)
It makes the statement worse but not the article. I find the article pretty objective
Did it change your game?
Tell me you judged the article by its title without telling me....
If you had read it, you'd notice that the author does not feel it is a game changer.
But still, even by reading the title alone, you mussed the quotation signs. It is not the author who calls it game changer but the chief developer.
Tell me la la la
I finally gave up entirely on OpenShot once I discovered ShotCut. OpenShot couldn’t handle the simplest things sometimes and literally could not get some things right ever. ShotCut is extraordinarily better. I’m absolutely thrilled with it in comparison.
Agree, Shotcut is great.
ShotCut Enjoyer vs Average OpenShot Goblin
But yeah seriously I found it to be the better and more intuitive tool to use.
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
aren't those more drawing apps and less photo editing?
And gimp is still terrible, while, in my limited experience, kdenlive is very useable.
yeah kdenlive is probably the best one, i had some ui bugs in the recent past which made it unusable because panels would just have black text on black background :/
i really want to like flowblade, but i assume they need some more dev time to get there
Had that as well on macOS. Problem went away when I switched the system from dark mode to light mode (or the other way round, don’t remember). But generally, I have to use Premiere for work anyways. For personal projects I prefer DaVinci Resolve though because, in my experience, it’s the most stable and performs the best of any program I’ve tried.
Never heard of this, does it hold up compared to kdenlive?
In my experience no, apart from blender integration kdenlive does everything it does and more and kdenlive gets more new features. I just wish there weren’t 10 different Foss video editors that don’t come close to the proprietary ones instead of focusing on 2-3 projects, but that’s for the devs to decide
Never saw any other app crashing as much as openshot
I always made the mistake of starting to edit videos, finish up, then looking up the video fps and matching the project type before output. Immediate crash.
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.

Yes, but often alternatives.
Situation: there are 14 competing editors.
True true, photo editing needs to catch up, also 3d cad software, there's only freecad in 3d field
Editing people are opinionated and capable of programming.

Try Shotcut
Is Sam Reich involved?
He’s been here the whole time!
Dont use KDE/QT... it's not OSS.
KDE / Qt licenses
Can you point where it's not OSS?
https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2021-January/040798.html
This does not support your claim.
QT ( free edition ) is FOSS and can only be used in FOSS projects, it's under LGPL license.
If you want to do proprietary stuff you got a QT comercial version and extra tooling to go along with, which you gotta pay a license.

About KDE nothing weird to see there.
