How does this compare to After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Davinci Resolve? I am pretty sure, this thing solves half of the problems the above solve, and it does it half-good.

I am pretty sure you haven't tried it yourself. I am also pretty sure the software you mention is significantly more expensive or at least not open source. Which makes me pretty sure yours was a useless comment.

  I have tried the ones I have mentioned, and I hadn't tried this one, - which is precisely why I am asking! No need for snarky "but ours is foss smugface" comments. Not to say, your comment make me pretty sure you hadn't tried either of mentioned by me, and does not take video editing seriously.

    I use and pay for DaVinci Resolve Studio on Linux myself, so yes I have tried them and yes, they're obviously more feature packed and polished than OpenShot is. OpenShot is however significantly easier to use and does what you need for casual editing. If you want a step above that and still FLOSS then Kdenlive is a better choice. What makes your original comment useless is that it reads like an American saying, 'I bet our GDP is bigger than Nauru's' - like what is the point? You know the answer already. An open source video editor is unlikely to be as good as DaVinci Resolve. DaVinci has multiplicity of the resources OpenShot/Kdenlive etc. do. So again, what is your point?

      At least we can agree in our mutual disdain towards american way of thinking *shaking hands*

        I can’t help but laugh at this, it’s like a comedy skit with two people with different European accents accusing each other of being American.

        Oh no! He was detained by ICE and send off to Uganda.

        Oh no! He took some bad peptides at a party and now has $500k in medical fees

        We need an attestation platform so you can prove non-american-ness. Cheers from Canada

    > No need for snarky "but ours is foss smugface" comments. Oh? So you opened the discussion with your hugely snarky, flamebaity comment, it backfired and now it doesn't feel so good? You're allowed to post such comments, but nobody else is?

It's FLOSS (GPLv3). There are very few free software video editors. Another good one is kdenlive, which a few years back I liked better that OpenShot.
- bewareofscams 1mo ago
  This does not answer my question, I need something that can do thing, not how it is licensed. I have used Kdenlive, and it's nowhere near either of these functionality-wise, and struggles with big files.
  - bonoboTP 1mo ago
    Unlikely to be near that polish and feature completeness. If you ask "then what's the point?", for now the answer is the license and the source availability.

      I've asked "how it compares", not "what's the point" -__-

        You'll not get any sense from open source abdolutionists. Your question will not compute.

        Honestly, it sounds like you’re going to end up asking a ton of very specific functionality questions that Da Vinci Resolve and co do in their own ways. Does OpenShot? For your specific use cases? I dunno, but it’s free, so give it half an hour or an hour and see? You’ll get more info than from many of us that probably don’t use this kind of software often. And then you can report back your findings! :D

I've had great experienced with it. It's almost certainly not as full-featered as premiere pro, but it runs buttery smooth and robust, while Premiere Pro kept crashing frequently and was a bit tedious to use for simple tasks.

With enough time, love and leadership direction, any art-focused OSS can be the next Blender or Krita :)

"how does this small open source tool developed from the good will of developers in their free time compare to the juggernauts of the fields, with millions in revenues ?" You know it very well, why do you pretend to ask ?
