Kdenlive

We'll see how it turns out.

Let me know in the comments section below if you're like, hey, this looked weird, or wow, your cuts are so much smoother now, or it's the exact same as Kdenlive, Titus.

Whatever.

like hearing it but other than that you know I want to get to the one thing now every every distribution has that one thing and some distributions have a dozen things but this kind of crop creeped up on me and I really didn't notice it until I started like doing some playback on videos or browsing YouTube my video playback sometimes it'll just freeze but the audio continues in the background uh i can't quite pinpoint what it is but it's not affecting my encoding or any of that so all my videos are Fine, but on my playback on my monitors, I'm just noticing a slight freeze depending on how high quality it is.

Depending on the file that I was trying to play or export, it wouldn't work.

Frickin' curse you, Video Codex! So I then tried Kdenlive, which is fine for basic editing.

But if I want to be a power user,

I actually did the first 500 videos on my channel in Kdenlive.

It is cool, but it is very rough around the edges.

I could not imagine going back to editing in Kdenlive after being on Resolve.

I would pay thousands of dollars to make sure I never have to do that again because as soon as I switched to I think I switched to Final Cut Pro after using Kdenlive and I was like oh my gosh this is so much easier everything just works and it's so much faster and then I switched to DaVinci Resolve with a bunch of shortcut keys even more so than Final Cut Pro and I was like I am literally, I can make 10 videos in the time it took me to make one video with Cayden Live, and it looks infinitely better.

It's just not quite there yet.

Things have been cruising along and I wanted to touch on the highlights and also the lowlights.

So highlights of this so far have been Kdenlive, oh my god, I love this software.

The more I use it, the faster I get at making videos.

So I can make a five minute video much like this one.

That's insane.

So literally with 15 minutes, it takes me to cut and splice everything together and make this video that you're watching right now.

So Kdenlive just better and better by the day.

Love it.

Okay, so it hasn't really been that bad.

Really what's happened is I did do an experimental setting in Kdenlive.

I did install some development kits, but there was no problems with that.

It ended up being an experimental GPU setting in Kdenlive for my specific graphics card, which is a Vega 64 AMD.

It caused all kinds of just random crashes on me.

So I was doing these long renders in Kdenlive where it would come up to like 10 minutes or so on the render time and then at the very end it would wait until about 5 seconds left and it would say AV stream error and then it would just completely error out on me.

oh my god so it i did this setting at the end of one of my recording sessions i didn't even think anything of it until the next time i came out so i actually did this days back but i hadn't really gotten into kade kade live i think it was yesterday or whenever it was and uh When I went to go ahead and record, I completely forgot about the setting.

So I kept getting all these errors, and I was looking everywhere.

One big software I wanted to start using was DaVinci Resolve.

I've loved Kdenlive and I'll continue to use Kdenlive even if I like DaVinci Resolve.

I imagine I'll still use Kdenlive just because of how fast I've gotten in it.

But I wanted to use DaVinci Resolve and I couldn't because of a lot of driver issues and OpenCL issues I have.

Mind you, I am running a Vega 64, a very unique GPU, but it is a very modern GPU that works very well in Windows and also Ubuntu, where I can download the AMD GPU Drivers Pro and install it.

I'm going to tell you right now.

that by switching to linux uh the recording doing the daily videos has really strung out that process it's put a lot of strain on me because all these other tutorial videos i was knocking out man in windows i was knocking it out in about 30 minutes for almost each video And in Linux, I'm using Kdenlive.

I'm using GIMP when I can, or at least try to use GIMP.

And oh my God, I really just have to relearn all the stuff I already know and how frustrating that is.

However, there's not anything real complex with that.

So a lot of the more complex graphic art, I'm still going to have to do Photoshop.

As far as the video edits, I really like Kdenlive.

The first couple videos I've tried it with, it went well.
