#Flowblade es el único editor de vídeo basado en #GTK al que le veo algún potencial para su uso en producción en entornos no profesionales.
A ver si la exclusividad de #Wayland se materializa, pero ya veo a la turba de siempre metiendo mierda en la sección de reporte de errores del repositorio de GitHub, además de que Flowblade todavía no soporta renderización de #AV1, ni por CPU ni por GPU. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Flowblade-2.24-Released
@zahntron From all #Linux video editors that I assessed, the best seems to be #DavinciResolve (proprietary) and #KDEnlive, and with a somewhat different focus #Blender.
Contender #Shotcut.
Also available #OpenShot #Lightworks (proprietary) #Flowblade #Olive #Avidemux #Pitivi
PLEASE UPDATE: My assessment is from September 2024, if one of the video editors has progressed substantially, please respond!

There are many open-source and free video applications that support Frei0r, a minimalistic plugin API for video effects.

🎬 #Flowblade - багатодоріжковий нелінійний відеоредактор для #Linux з відкритим вихідним кодом під ліцензією GPL 3.
Основні можливості:
• Монтаж фільмів з відео, аудіо та графічних файлів
• Обрізання кліпів до потрібних кадрів
• Застосування фільтрів та створення багатошарових композицій
Secondly, the #Flowblade UI doesn't even update correctly, it is often multiple steps behind. Like if you try to tweak a filter's key frames to show a cropped andzoomed portion of an video, and you're licking back and forth on the key-frame icons the parameters for the filter do not always update. In fact, they are often several clicks behind.
Even more annoying is that if you do not click ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY on the key-frame icon, it will move the key-frame a frame to the right or left.
First off, #Flowblade's UI is horrible. Almost nothing is intuitive with common GUI practice. Why the heck am I moving around the timeline by hitting the right or left arrows while in a text field trying to edit it?
If #Flowblade is the best video editing software on Linux, no wonder everybody uses MacOS. Flowblade is probably the shittiest piece of software I have ever used. And when I say that I worry about shit getting angry at me for such libel unto it.
@maxitb Thanks for your response. I don't know if I would call them student projects, but many of those applications are made for a very specific purpose (like transcribing audio, etc.) very much in the sense of Unix utilities that are designed for one or few tasks. However, there are some bigger applications in common usage as well, for example: #Flowblade #Pitivi #Kazam2 #MyPaint #Exhibit #Gaphor #Gajim #Paperwork #Scriptorium #GettingThingsGnome #Gramps #Cadabra #Saldo #Setzer
@debby It really comes down to hardware now-a-days. Software like #Kdenlive #Krita #Flowblade #Shotcut #GMIC #Inkscape #Pencil2D #GIMP #Friction #Synfig #Glaxnimate #OBS #Blender #Handbrake #FFmpeg #Imagemagick and #Natron tend to offer some impressive options that allow users to achieve some impressive results.
Flowblade already has G'MIC support.

Flowblade 2.20 comes with improved preset for keyframe animations.
The "Position Scale" filter and "Position Scale Rotate" filter now have a new feature making it possible to add some frequently needed animations such as "slide ins" and "zooms" in a single action.
This feature is available in the keyframe editor hamburger menu when selecting the item "Add Preset Keyframed Movement...."
Flowblade 2.20 comes with an updated Monitor player buttons.
The monitor player buttons row was always visually a bit rough. 2.20 switches to using a single centered Play/Stop button, moved marks buttons to the side and made larger the visual difference between displaying Timeline and Clips in the monitor. Also, the timecode displays were made to display the active part of timecode in a brighter color to improve readability.
Flowblade 2.20 was released on March 25, 2025. Flowblade is a multi-track non-linear video editor for Linux released under GPL 3 license.
With Flowblade Movie Editor you can compose movies from video clips, audio clips and graphics files. Clips can be cut at the desired frames, filters can be added to clips, and you can create multilayer composite images using compositor objects.

If you have a budget, then go for it. Buy a Blackmagic Design Speed Editor ($435), a graphics card ($199), and DaVinci Resolve Studio ($325). Editing videos should be fun.
But if you do not have a budget, one of the open source video editors like Kdenlive, Shotcut, or Flowblade is more than capable of editing your videos.
@TempermentalAnomaly @mao To make it a fair comparison, we should be comparing Kdenlive to open source software like Shotcut or Flowblade, not proprietary software like DaVinci Resolve.

MTS files are a common container format for high-definition video, often used by HD camcorders, and can be played with various media players like VLC, or converted to other formats like MP4 using Handbrake or FFmpeg. Video editors like Kdenlive, Flowblade and Shortcut also support editing MTS files.

Flowblade 2.20 was recently released. Cutting video clips in this powerful video editor is very easy to achieve with just two steps.
1. Position the playhead in the timeline where you want to "cut" your video. Remember that the cut is always made before the currently displayed frame on all active tracks.
2. Either press the "Cut" button or press "X" on the keyboard.
What would be the benefit of using #mpv over the go to #vlc ?
I had no idea about #Flowblade! Currently learning #kdenlive because #davinciresolve on #linux is a bit spotty right now. Made the switch from #windows to #linuxmint a few weeks ago and been incredibly happy so far.
Thanks for posting about all these neat open source/linux film tools!
