🧵 #Lightworks fails me, #Blackmagic doesn't want me to try their #DaVincieResolve since it can't do h264 on #Linux (except you pay a lot of cash), #OpenShot is too stupid (can't do full screen monitor, and after 5 minutes of not finding out how to mute an audio track, I gave up on it)…
… now back at where it all started with my video editing on 2014 or so: #Kdenlive.
Now that looks familiar still. And it still can't do GPU acceleration. Oh well, it can, but the option is greyed-out even though I have libmovit8 installed.
So while Lightworks has learned to effectively play back even h265 on elderly machines, even without GPU decoding, Kdenlive already struggles playing back 4k h264 with flip and flop effect on that clip. (Lightworks uses OpenCL for FX, as would Resolve)
Actually after now 1,5hrs of trying to get a decent #NLE to run on Linux, after more than 10 years of doing video on Linux, I'm not at all in the mood for doing creative video work any more now.
