In general, DaVinci Resolve on Linux desktops handles Dlog/HDR camera and drone LUTs like a champ (KDE plasma handles HDR10.) When they run the budget speed-editor promos you get the studio license card for free. If you needed gyroflow because your cameraman has a thorazine stomp, there are few completely FOSS options around. For old or no GPU, there are a few other options: OpenShot is simple, Shotcut works everywhe…

Is this a bot reply?

Just a hobby filled with a lot of anecdotal nonsense on the web.

If you fly a platform that stores D-log M video and RAW images... there are very few FOSS options to share great looking content. =3

For that kind of functionality, I would always recommend Avidemux[0]. It's quite a light package (which I like), and it allows you to do that and some other useful things too. [0] http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

Dunno if it’s just me, but I tried to download it the other day and couldn’t. The windows download link just punts you right back to their own site.

Just checked. Same thing happened to me. For all links, including old versions AND other packages. Seems to be a problem with fosshub. (I am on linux+firefox).

It's FLOSS (GPLv3). There are very few free software video editors. Another good one is kdenlive, which a few years back I liked better that OpenShot.

Kdenlive has improved remarkably over the last few years and in many ways not in a way you'd visibly notice, they had a period where it was very unstable/crash prone so they spent a good chunk of time really focusing just on that and as a result it's now incredibly stable, I can't remember the last time it crashed. For basic video editing it's quite user friendly and you can do some fairly prosumer level things with…

I second that remark about Kdenlive having stabilized most impressively.

any interest in adding agentic capabilities?

The major design companies have this to supplant their theoretically now less attractive SaaS revenue, letting professionals automate most things through their creative suite products with LLMs doing a lot of reasoning about what to do and how to composite, but it all goes through cloud compute instances and they basically won’t add a local server to their products because they cant charge per credit. So that retains a bottleneck on uploading and file sizes and other things

If Openshot started competing in that regard it would be very forward looking. I wouldnt even say competitive yet because people dont really know about this use of AI and associate AI creativity with generative only, instead of just replicating the human processes for mass output faster

There is also Blick which launched recently which claims to be very very fast https://blickeditor.com/?lang=en and part of recent wave of fast software (Task Slinger, File Pilot)

The fact that they reimplemented everything from scratch doesn't give much confidence. The last thing I want to deal with in a video editor are bugs from code that's seen less real-world use, originating from who knows where.

> shouldn't we focus on human accessibility first? This is the big question for designers, how much of the future of software will be human-oriented UIs vs a human typing into a chat window (or as a temporary bridge, telling an agent to operate existing GUIs). For now I believe agent-driven software is still pretty niche, something for highly technical users, but that will change as it mainstreams. Early adopters dem…

a chat window is actually HORRIBLE for many tasks. i really strongly hope this isn't what the future of software looks like there is just no way a chat interface could replace a non-linear video editor gui

> a chat window is actually HORRIBLE for many tasks. i really strongly hope this isn't what the future of software looks like

I strongly concur - I don't want to "tell" the app to level the audio between several clips only to have it level everything to 0 and then take five minutes to undo etc

Easy solved, just ask your agents to build a video editor

Is this effectively a leaner more basic, record, cut, colour version of Resolve?

Blackmagicdesign corporation's Davinci Resolve doesn't run on most OSes. So I can't tell you. But I can tell you that openshot allows me to edit videos quickly on linux. I like it.
