I would add FreeCAD to 3d editing software.

Dafuq is freecad? It sounds waaaaaay too good to be true. Maybe above hot singles in your area want to fuck lol. I had a software I was using that let you use it free x amount of times but all you had to do was clear your cache/data each time it was triggered to expire and you had a fresh set of uses. Can't remember the name I'll jave to look it up.

[–] M4t1cc@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's not as intuitive as other comparable software, and has a fairly steep learning curve especially for beginners, but it is free. No subscription models that's plaguing the 3d modeling software field.

Check it out! https://www.freecad.org/ https://wiki.freecad.org/

I've never been super happy with Ardour. Using the in-distro build used to crash some years back, and more recently wasn't able to get it using some audio interface. And I'm not in love with the interface. But my impression from what I've read is that it's more on-par with other DAWs than Audacity is, does stuff like non-destructive editing. Audacity is, as I understand it, considered something of a lightweight application. If someone is looking for something more on par with some other DAW that they're familiar with, Ardour might be preferable.

your paint-dot-net link is... shouldn't be a link lol

[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Lol it's not a link in the markdown so it's just the Lemmy web UI making assumptions. Also it's funny that they don't own that domain.

paint.NET

escape the dot

Audio editing is still shit. GarageBsnd is on Mac, Audacity has a stupid interface, Cakewalk is the first time I hear that name. On Linux, video editing tools are probably the only way to edit audio, and it's obviously lacking.

edit: Now I have stuff to try, thank you guys.

What would one use for something like editing photos into gifs. I would edit a lot of still images in photoshop using the puppet warp and the animation but haven't really found anything to do that

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 1 points 5 months ago

Oh that's perfect thank you!

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Krita & gimp both can handle that

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I love Gimp. I was even using it as a sort of workaround free pdf editor for image/graphics h3avy pdf edits.
