Speaking of
#KDE apps, I've been using
#Kdenlive for a year or two now as my primary video editor on my main PC (
#Linux). I LOVE it and hugely prefer it over other video editors I've used and mained in the past including
#Sony's
#VegasPro,
#Adobe's
#PremierePro, and
#Apple's
#FinalCutPro (hmm KDE's Kdenlive Pro when).
I even used it months ago to edit 2 movies for my own wedding. Last Sat though, I needed to make a quick edit to a wedding video our wedding videographer had delivered because I needed to demonstrate a possible editing mistake they had made - I only had my #MacBook on hand, and decided to use Kdenlive despite also having FCP.
I didn't expect it'd work well but IT DID - everything was smooth and renders were impressively fast eventho I was only using an M1 8GB #Mac (and have a bunch of other things running in the bg). The only issue I found with it, and something I've discovered in other KDE apps on
#macOS is that they kinda struggle or don't have the ability to open files with the (KDE) app, outside of the app.
For example, I can't open a kdenlive file with Kdenlive - it'll launch the app, but not the file with it. I'd have to launch the app and navigate/open the file from inside the app manually. Same with some other KDE apps like Kate too - not being able to launch a text file with it, from outside. Otherwise though, I'm surprised but very pleased that Kdenlive is a viable option not just on Linux (and possibly
#Windows) but macOS too.
Note: Donate to the project if you can! They certainly deserve and need all the funding and contributions they could get.
