I was gonna ask that. Every video editor I've tried, even back to Windows Movie Maker, crashed frequently. I don't know why. ffmpeg is rock-solid. Modern CPUs

I don't know why. ffmpeg is rock-solid. Modern CPUs are good enough that you can basically handle 1080p without touching accelerators.
Multi-threading is not impossible to get right in C++. So why do they all crash?
- GiorgioG 3y agoTry DaVinci Resolve
- th0ma5 3y agoOnly works on like RedHat? No other Linux
- knifie_spoonie 3y agoI've successfully run it on KDE Neon (Ubuntu based)
- atoav 3y agoHad no problems running it on kubuntu 22
- amarshall 3y agoOnly officially supported on RedHat, perhaps. Works well on many other distros (I run it on NixOS).
- semi-extrinsic 3y agoIt runs well on Arch.
- flexagoon 3y agoCentos is the only officially supported distro, but it works just as well on any other. In some cases, you may need to install some extra dependencies, but not much
- loufe 3y agoSeconded, it is a seriously high quality product and free as in beer in the best way.
- prmoustache 3y agoThat doesn't answer the question. What make many video editors, regardless of their licence, so crash prone? Image/photo editors never crash (or so rarely), same for most modern audio editors / DAWs and the later can use an awful lot of memory too.
- pepa65 3y agoProbably the state of video drivers.
- erremerre 3y agoNot saying that you aren't right. But using Davinci Resolve in an old cpu (as in 2012 cpu) it is a complete pain.
- gamblor956 3y agoThat sounds like a RAM issue. If you've got a faulty RAM chip, a memory-intensive use like video editing will reveal it. And it usually does so by crashing.
