Blender has a really good video editor built in.
Blender can do video editing but I wouldn't recommend using Blender unless you are already using other Blender features.
Kdenlive is a proper video editor and is actually designed for purely video editing. Just because you can do it with Blender doesn't mean you should.
please don't edit videos in Blender, that sounds like masochism
it's not open source but i will always recommend Davinci Resolve, by far the best video editing sodtware i've used and it's free! (well 95% of it is, it's fully functional and outstanding without paying a cent but if you want some extra presets especially for the colour grading stage then you gotta pay. how i see it is that it's free software with a few built in ads for an effects package)
I think Kdenlive is about the same as Davinci Resolve at this point but I'm no where near a video editing expert so I could be wrong.
It is not. Kdenlive is still pretty stout for what it is, but has some rough edges compared to DaVinci Resolve.
Excel probably does too.
I do all my video editing in emacs
Blender is just the most amazing peace of software I know and I actually enjoy using it. Unless I try to do retopology again. Screw that all the way to hell!
100%. Retopology kinda drives me up the wall because I always seem to end up with mismatched loops and stuff.
One day I'll save up and support Retopoflow, but in the meantime, check out a new fork of Poly Quilt! it's freely available in Blender's extension repository!
I see a lot of people say it works a lot like Maya's poly-build/paint/something(?) function, and a lot of people would say they import Blender meshes back into Maya just for retopology, so that sounds like quite high praise if this works similarly.
Looking forward to trying it myself. :)
I don't know if retopo will ever be fun, but maybe at least it won't be miserable? Hahaha.
Kdenlive is surprisingly good from my limited experience with it. But blender can do basically everything so that's also an option.
By chance, any idea how either of them compare to Final Cut Pro for basic video cleanup?
I use FCP for cleaning up instructional YT videos (cutting out flubs and flowing back together) but have been looking for a viable Linux alternative.
Both would be fine options tbh. I personally find the blender one to be functional but a bit clunky since it's clearly not the main focus though so it's probably the lesser of the two options if that's all you're doing
