Ask HN: What's a low-friction video editor?
I'd like to start making little video tutorials and I'm for the lookout for a simple video editor. Is there something along the lines of Canva, but for longer videos (Canvas video editor seems to aim for sub-minute videos)
- breadchris 4y agodescript is the best tool i’ve ever used for this.
- brtkdotse 4y agoInteresting, thanks!
- brudgers 4y agoiMovie on my iPhone is pretty low friction for me. Kdenlive always takes me a few hours to get into a groove, but honestly for any sustained project, a few hours at the start is nothing. Friction occurs between two surfaces. I have learned that usually, my knowledge skills and abilities are the rougher surface generating most of the friction. YMMV. Good luck.
- shaggie76 4y agoI was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up to Kdenlive; while it's very powerful I found it easy to do the simple edits I wanted to do and when I wanted to try something more advanced it was easier than I expected. It's free and OSS so you really haven't go much to lose if you want to take it for a spin.
