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?

@wavetro

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

@GramynaLinuksie

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

@NUCLEARARMAMENT

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

@kekbin_xd

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.

@pjslo12

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.

@vellu0139

Olive video editor is really good

@tesso5243

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.

@system128

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.

@iskamag

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)

@zloboslav_

i love how you pronounce kdenlive, it's hilarious :D

@yjk_ch

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.

@monxyo

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...

@mrmalio

Lightworks although proprietary is one of the best as well but you didnt cover it

@CoasterMan13Official

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.

@Gongodler

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.

@phenixnunlee372

I know for pro level audio work you have ardour which is amazing. I mean the convolution plugins are amazing on Linux.

@adrenalinewill

I love openshot, it's such a good beginner video editor.

@toxiccan175

Shotcut actually does have Hardware Acceleration btw

@mateusgomes1086

Song names please!
