My first attempt at properly editing something on #kdenlive I've edited simple stuff shot on my phone but this is raw LOG footage from my cinema camera and applying LUTs I've created from power grades developed in Davinci Resolve. Hoping to share something soon! I was thinking about sharing the LUTs if anyone is interested.

@nathandyer This looks dope! Looking forward to the blog post. What engine is it using for hardware decoding? I noticed not playing back at full fps but it might be an issue on my end.
@frd Excellent! I'd be pleased to join!

As a longtime #davinciresolve user I'm giving serious thought to embracing #kdenlive in my creative and professional workflow. Full 10-bit support and GPU acceleration might be the thing to seal the deal but in the meantime I've been turning my node trees into LUTs so I can bring my preferred looks to the system. This will definitely work well for content I make on social media at least as a practicing ground. Any interest in these LUTs?

If you're a #screenwriter #contentcreator or #filmmaker
and you use #Fountain syntax for distraction-free writing this might be for you. I too like getting my first #draft this way but the long list of #monochrome text makes it hard to quickly skim scenes, dialogue, etc so I made a highlighting feature for #kate on #kde and #texteditor for #gnome so I can navigate a little easier. It's now up on #github! Of course also works on Kwrite!

@mahadevank Nice! I wanna take it for a spin some time.
@sysedit Yes, I suspect gaming communities were a powerful driving force.
@sysedit Yes! Sometimes I used to start up a game and in the back of my neck I would carry this tension because after the splash screen it might crash and I was just waiting for the moment to arrive. Now with Proton that tension is released!

@mahadevank Yes! haha

Nice! How long have you been on debian?

I'm not a serious #gamer so I won't be breaking down benchmarks or anything. As you can see I'm playing something that is nearly 7 years old! All I want to say here is that ever since my first install of #ubuntu in 2010, I am thoroughly impressed how far #opensource #technology has come in both capability and ease of use. #bazzite has been nearly a console-like experience for me. So grateful to have access to #freesoftware like this.
