DaVinci Resolve looks great and all, but on Linux, don't you have to convert all of your videos to a single format as it just doesn't load any other format as it should? I remember having this problem and it being known, has anything changed? What is your workflow?
i mainly use olive for all my video editing. you showed version 0.1 here wich is from 2019 or 2020 i believe. pre release versions of 0.2 are way better in my opinion than 0.1 but they still miss a few features but they will come later. you should take a look at olive 0.2.
my only problem with kdenlive is it can be unstable and crashes a lot, although it has gotten better. for more complex effects I use blender it has a built in video editor and the blender animation graphs are very useful. plus you can use blender compositing nodes which are very powerful once you learn them especially for color grading, as well as integrate 3D scenes very easily. i have never used davinci just because its not open and kdenlive + blender are more than enough for me and i prefer to stay foss.
what I would really like to see support for on linux is DAW's as currently LMMS is the only option and is very lacking in some areas like plugins and effects as well as very poor built in samples. as for image editing, I hate loving gimp as the team is very slow with updates and it always feels like we are 5 years behind other image editors for no reason, especially since other FOSS projects like krita seem to have better image manipulation tools than gimp sometimes. I still use it almost everyday but it hurts man, JUST GIVE US NON DESTRUCTIVE EDITING MAN PLEASE AAAAAAAAHHHHHH
@Watcher I dont like flatpaks but Kdenlive has been much better with stability lately dont use ardour much since I dont really sample live stuff or use midi stuff im very new to music. unfa looks cool will check him out
It's good but very amateur at this point. And the development has just stopped completely as I see. Wtf is going on, I don't know, so DaVinci is the only option now.
I want to slam my head against a brick wall from how much potential Olive has- its only drawback is that it's not finished. Great video! Literally none of the other editors have run stable for me like Olive did (when 0.1 worked for me anyway.) These days I just edit my videos in Blender like a caveman. Controls suck but nothing crashes Blender
I have used MACS and APPLE, for the last 17 years. During the pandemic, y tried windows and then Linux. . I am a TV producer in Panama, teacher and photographer. Sorry but i will never , ever, look at windows and Mac the same after trying linux, specially Manjaro, Fedora , and the new ubuntu studio. I know, now, all the BS, talked about linux, is just to keep the masses blind and far away from free software and it's community. I am currently paying my bills, going to the movies, enjoying netflix, filling my gas tank and eating my food, from paychecks of videos and photos edited on dark table, blender, gimp, natron, Kdenlive davinci resolve and inkscape. YES, i had to read, YES, i had to work over night, YES i had to study and see videos, YES i had to basically start from zero, but after all, to be successful in something you must try hard. This is for all you guys... EXPLORE LINUX, have patience, you can and will do everything....AND MORE....peace...
I'm kinda relieved to see someone who shares my opinion about the video editing software currently available on Linux. I'm not exactly complaining because I certainly couldn't write anything better than what's out there, but it is a little disappointing.
Under Linux I use: BlackMagic Design's DaVinci Resolve/Fusion, and Autodesk Smoke/Flame for my video editing, finishing and compositing; Reaper as my mainline DAW and ReNoise as my tracker-based DAW; JACK and pulseaudio as my sound IO and pipe solutions; OBS as my streaming and recording software; IBM's Eclipse, Microsoft's VSCODE, Notepad++ as my IDEs; DPC++, GCC, and Clang/LLVM as my compilers; Krita and Gimp as my image manipulation tools. That was completely random, I know, but other video editing/finishing/compositing software that's native to Linux that's used in the high-end post industry includes but isn't necessarily limited to: Filmlight's Baselight, SGO's Mistika Ultima, IFX's Pihrana 8, LightWorks Pro, and Cinelerra
@@hansbrackhaus8017 Thanks for the mention, I've not looked into this software before. It seems a lot more comprehensive than Blender's VFX and compositing/rotoscoping tools.
@@NUCLEARARMAMENT I am not surprised, it flew under my fulltime-linux-user-for-almost-a-decade-now-while-being-into-multimedia-myself radar until last month. Note: It can be a bit slow sometimes, but once the effects effects have been cached, it goes back to being fast.
I've used kdenlive and for what I did it was honestly slightly better than davinci. I don't have it now since I'm too lazy to theme qt and just don't want polkit or a hundred other dependencies, I just do all the media stuff with ffmpeg. (thanks luke)
As a regular Linux user, I will have to agree with this. It is unfortunate. I _still_ rely on Vegas Pro (which is a Windows only software unless you run it with Wine) for my video editing work.
I use Kdenlive for my video editing and I love it, but it does have its drawbacks like a lot of video editors. For example, it'll fail at rendering your video sometimes for seemingly no reason.
What I don't like about Olive at the moment is, that video and audio tracks are separated. I hope they make it possible to change the order of the tracks sometime or to disable this video/audio separation. Also they need to add more different transitions and improve the performance, then it could be really good.
I used to edit gameplay videos years ago, and for that purpose, nothing except Resolve worked. (though I haven't tried Olive) Both Shotcut and Kdenlive was like "uh... we'll try our best to help you...", but it just didn't help. Resolve was capable of doing fancy text effects, and even more complex ones through Fusion, which both Kdenlive and Shotcut lacked.
Isn't that only for the encoding when exporting the video? Because it doesn't seem accelerated in any way while you edit and it gets choppy in the preview...
This review is very good and detailed but lacks the most important software for professional videoediting and compositing in Linux: Cinelerra-GG. It's far superior than their rival counterparts like DaVinci Resolve and the commercial Adobe Premiere in many situations.
@@xdanic3 Yes, I mean it for real. It's a fantastic video editing suite for professional video editing and compositing. Also it's very fast even on old hardware.

I think its about time we start complaining about the user experience on linux. Most software on linux sucks. GDB is horrible, DEs have also become a mess. Usability not being the main priority. This is why we get things like "oh its possible to this on kdenlive, you just have to click this button then that and you are done".
@hvysomething I am talking about open source software in general. Most open source software is bad. Gimp on my machine is as slow as photoshop. However, if you want to see, an example of good open source software then it will be Blender. Blender does everything right. Focus on user experience, easy to switch, compatibilty with other commercial software. Infact, I think Blender is the most successfull open source application.
I dont get why people test open source apps with the mindset to work as windows apps. Second spend times testing these apps before yu judge them. Stop comparing linux app to windows app. Its not fair.
why are you on a linux video if you dont think it can be a desktop os anyway why not its works its free it has a community although this make me wonder what do you consider "desktop OS"

Olive video editor actually has options to add titles and color background.

Shotcut actually does have Hardware Acceleration btw
Isn't that only for the encoding when exporting the video? Because it doesn't seem accelerated in any way while you edit and it gets choppy in the preview...
@@zloboslav_ There is preview acceleration too. The settings are a little confusing because of how they are spread in the top bar

exactly

yess

We all prefer open source to closed but that doesen't mean it's a problem and you should't use it.

you mispronounced kdenlive. it's supposed to be said like "kay dean live". live like in "live stream".
kde n live actually
No, k de n live
i say k den live
