Dont use KDE/QT… it’s not OSS.
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.
The Qt framework is dual-licensed, available under both commercial and open-source licenses.
About KDE nothing weird to see there.
Can you point where it’s not OSS?
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
openshot kdenlive shotcut flowblade pitivin
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.
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 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.
Never saw any other app crashing as much as openshot
