Video editor for Linux?

+1 kdenlive. However, I can see why it’s no sufficient solution for everyone

For whatever reason, many of the editors mentioned here never worked for me … like OpenShot, ShotCut or PiTiVi were really unstable the last time I tried (might be a distro or DE thing). Also I found it hard to cut precisely when they worked. Lightworks, Da Vinci, Cinelerra, I had a hard time getting them to run. Maybe that changed in the meantime.

I ultimately stuck with Kdenlive, which is stable enough and allows for reasonably precise cutting.

Kdenlive’s pretty good.

Kdenlive is what I used a while back when I was editing a video. You also can do it with ffmpeg from the command line if your a real chad

I know Blender can do at least some of this on windows. I assume the same is true on linux?

Yes but it’s not primarily a video editing app. Also Blender is kinda hard to learn and doing so just for video editing would be overkill

Pitivi is really nice

Ahhh, so that’s why its called Kdenlive

I think everyone calls it kden-live right?

I do

I’ve used Kdenlive for my personal projects and in a professional setting. It’s easier to install than Divinci Resolve and almost as powerful.

Kdenlive

Openshot

+1 for openshot if you need a no frills editor.

If you’re familiar with blender, it works pretty well but renders slow

Kdenlive is great, I’ve been editing a lot of my videos on there and some shorts on YouTube. It’s got a pretty unappealing UI but one you get to know and figure out where everything is you can get some content out :)

If you want a very simple editor, try avidemux.

Pitivi I use. Like feature lacking Adobe Premiere it is.

Why talk like this do you?

A lot to learn you have, Padawan.

For me the problem I don’t see

Am I the only one who kind of likes the video editing profile Blender has?

TIL Blender has video editing

callyral, 6 months ago

blender is almost like the emacs of multimedia software, it’s got 3d modeling and rendering, 3d animation, grease paint (2d animation), non-linear video editing, and probably other features i haven’t heard of.
