@FediFollows Last time I opened Scribus it was not ready for a professional use case. Perhaps things have changed now. It's a common thing with FOSS, although I love it, it's often not a great replacement for the popular market leaders. :(

It's worth checking FOSS again if you haven't tried it lately?

I tried Kdenlive years ago and wasn't happy, but when I tried it recently it was exactly what I wanted and I use it as my main video editor now.
