#kdenlive Linux users: do you get actual 60 fps playback in the timeline?

i have hardware acceleration enabled via VAAPI (Intel GPU), my project is set to 60fps, and i have tried original, transcoded-to-edit-friendly-format, as well as proxy clips. the fps overlay always says 60, but the playback is visibly more like 30.

not a hardware issue, since Davinci Resolve Studio does 60fps without the system breaking a sweat

Hilfe erbeten:
Gibt es bei Kdenlive keine Möglichkeit einzelne Sequenzen dauerhaft für die nächsten Videos zur Verfügung zu stellen? Zum Beispiel eine Bin, von der man überall Zugriff hat.
Oder einen gemeinsamen Ordner, der immer permanent innerhalb von Kdenlive angezeigt wird.
Da wäre sehr hilfreich.

I praised Kdenlive too much yesterday it seems because then I ended up trying to get that one plugin to work for 2-3 hours 😭

Es gibt über Kdenlive gutes zu berichten. Ich habe mich die letzten Tage, so wie es meine Zeit zugelassen hat, mit Kdenlive beschäftigt und kann dadurch vieles besser verstehen. Ich setzte Kdenlive ab sofort als mein Videoschnittprogramm Nr. 1 unter Linux ein.
Den versprochenen Blogbeitrag werde ich in den nächsten Tagen verfassen.
Ein Video wird es auch geben, wenn ich OBS vernünftig zum laufen bekomme... alles benötigt seine Zeit - ist ja alles Linux-neu :)

Tried to install DaVinci Resolve on Debian today. Failed miserably. Many additional steps were needed.

Their Linux support is a workaround sitting on a workaround it seems. Naturally, the community came up with more workarounds to fix these initial workarounds.

I also tried installing Capcut in Wine before but let's just say this also isn't a very straightforward process.

I suppose I'll just stick to Kdenlive. Lacks modern hip features but it just works.

With the video editing confusion that is #kdenlive, attempting to delete chunks of a video (i.e. ads) will end in tears. Instead, you make "zones" (which are not "clips") of actual content *around* the ads, then convert the "zones" to "clips", then delete the original video from the "clips" (which are not "zones"), then render (not save, not export) what remains.

I mean, I'm sure there are good reasons for things to be this obtuse, but damn if this is the "easy" video editing app for Linux

Oh, the @kde project is not present at @clt_news this year :-(

And here I thought I can help at the booth, and answer questions about #Kdenlive for a bit.
