Kdenlive

We just held our 2023 sprint and worked hard on improving KDE's video editor Kdenlive for three days straight.

We tackled bugs affecting grouped clips, the workflow, the organization of menu items, and much more.

@kde

Is that Florian 2nd from right

From left to right: Camille, Jean Baptiste, Eugene, Massimo, and Julius. Missing (because he lives in Brazil): Farid

@Bro666 @tetris11 Next year the sprint could be here and you should come. :)

@kdenlive @kde

please. please for heaven's sake **don't assume** I need it easier to use or understand (and things therefore need to be decided for me) ; **do assume** I will need logical methods of *option* self discovery...

thanks to all. donated.

@kdenlive @kde

Thanks for keeping the tools sharp guys. Really appreciate it. ❤️

@kdenlive@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

Thanks so much for your efforts!
Best and most reliable open source video editor ever!

@kdenlive @kde kdenlive is genuinely awesome, but it runs like butt on my PC. We really need GPU acceleration on everything. Premiere Pro & DaVinci Resolve can playback video at full quality with effects, Kdenlive lags when playing back at 480p without effects.

@JshKlsn @kdenlive @kde What hardware are you using in on? I had this problem on older hardware, so I can relate, but not so much on my more modern laptop (11th Gen intel, RTX 3060 graphics).

@rolandixor @kdenlive @kde I'd argue my PC is pretty fast lol

@JshKlsn @kdenlive @kde Yeah that PC's gonna need to be way faster hombre *adjusts belt and chews grass*

@JshKlsn @kdenlive @kde Yeah that's really annoying. Adding effects basically makes video playback a slideshow with stuttering sound.

Also scrolling backwards in the timeline is below 1 FPS down to not at all (even without any effects) when using a jog dial and video being anything above ca. 720p.

Other than that, Kdenlive is awesome.

@dirk @kdenlive @kde lmao did anyone else see the kdenlive account tell us to stop whining and to pay someone to fix it? They deleted the post now.

I didn't realize complementing the software but saying it runs poorly = whining. What an unprofessional reply. I think I'm done using kdenlive.

@JshKlsn @kdenlive @kde Nah ... Kdenlive is the best we can get for Linux. A mad comment by someone who runs the social media account doesn't make a difference for me. The devs do their best and I appreciate it. This does not mean that there are no issues in the real world.

@dirk @kdenlive @kde That type of response to my comment complimenting them is insane.

The irony is that I was paying a monthly donation to Kdenlive, which I've since cancelled. I guess I was paying the wrong people to fix it.

I've purchased DaVinci Resolve Studio, which is also on Linux, and works better.

Their 3rd option was for me to "be patient", which is funny, considering people have been asking for full GPU acceleration for over 7 years.

Too busy yelling at people on mastodon, I guess

@JshKlsn @dirk

Replying here just to clarify, I am one of the people that manages the Kdenlive account I was replying to a comment Dirk made and not to yours. On Mastodon when you reply to a comment it adds all people in that thread. I deleted it because it was supposed to be from my personal account and I mistakenly used the official one. I also can't see their comment from my instance for some reason so I couldn't reply to it afterwards.

@JshKlsn @dirk

I was telling Dirk to stop whining because every time we post some nice news they complain about the same thing.

This is a community project made by people on their free time so if you'd like to have a feature one can either help out or wait.

We are aware of what needs to be done and we are working on it as you can see it in our roadmap.

Thanks, y’all 🙏

This makes the world a better place.

Kdenlive devs, you are making the world a better place
