Just wanted to point out that Blender also has a surprisingly decent video editing workflow. The usual caveats about the weird user interface and steep learning curve still apply, but I gave it about two days of practice and am very happy with the results.
Someone wrote a review claiming that Blender was the least painful way to edit video on Linux. I'm not sure if that was/is still true, but after trying two or three crash-tastic alternatives, I'm willing to believe it.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThey're considering deprecating it, or moving it to a plugin. Thought you should know.
- ohazi 10y agoUh, what? Do you have a source for that? Everything I just dug up in a panic has been about adding features and improving the workflow.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI was pretty sure it was on the proposed roadmaps, but it seems to be gone. Maybe the massive outcry (there was a good bit) changed the developers' minds.
- valine 10y agoI've been following blenders development pretty closely and I haven't heard this. If it's true then that's very unfortunate.
- franciscop 10y agoI haven't tried the blender video editor, but Kdenlive has gone a looong way from the crash-all-the-time days to a modern and intuitive video editor (for a hobbyist at least).
- dmritard96 10y agokdenlive is awesome. its not perfect and it can be a bit quirky but for foss I love having it for quick little videos.
- diggan 10y agoTried kdenlive just a couple of days ago and on Ubuntu 16.04, it's as crash-happy as ever
- kenoph 10y agoUnfortunately on my xenial it still crashes so often that it's basically useless. I had to put together a short video recently and, after checking out all the available options, I ended up using the free version of Lightworks. I didn't try Blender though.
- amelius 10y agoCan you recommend a tutorial?
