Beginner's Guide To Kdenlive And Video Editing

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2024
  • Kdenlive is the premiere open source video editor. It is the video editor of choice, not just for me, but for many video content creators on platforms like TH-cam and LBRY. It is free as in freedom and free as in cost. Kdenlive is jam-packed with features, which makes it a bit challenging to learn.

    What a superb walkthrough. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I have just started using Kdenlive (after OpenShot kept causing audio crackles that I couldn't overcome) and, having thinking I'd finished my first video, I've gone back and added a tonne of stuff that you've shown. Really very good work. Thanks.

    I remember back in 2010 doing video editing in kdenlive using a core 2 duo and sometimes even an intel atom (although i did not render/export on that!), kdenlive is still my favorite editor unless you specifically need gpu rendering/exporting.
    To this day it is my go to recommendation to anyone wanting to do video editing and have no experience with video editing it to begin with or they need a video editor and dont need davinci resolve (like for work).

    This video is just what I needed! I've recently started to do some videos, and I use Kdenlive on Windows and Kubuntu for the editing process. But I was struggling with some of the things that you explained so well on this video. I want more of this. For example: how did you do the animated intro that appears on some of your videos? How do you use the other FOSS for your editing process?

    One drawback of KDEN Live, @Distrotube, is that when you render, if you choose the default, you may have just clobbered the original video. Because you import the original video as a reference. When that video is rendered TO, if that's a referenced video, you are overwriting the video that's used in the production. So, make sure you make a new backup with a new title every time! Even make a second backup in another folder of backups.

    I'm thinking of trying this editor out soon. Looks easy to use/learn (especially compared to Davinci which I hate with a passion (Lightworks I don't know enough about to say)). Seems to lack some of what Adobe Premiere offers but since it is not a yearly subscription I can let that slide.

    Great video - one thing, early on where you set the processing threads to 24, I think you say that’s how many cores you have - a core can run multiple threads and also I’m not sure that means it will run one thread per core, which would be efficient. It might run 24 threads on one core.

    One thing I really like about PowerDirector is the SVRT feature, which can set the video output settings to be the same as what most of your video source is using, keeping you from having to re-render those sections. does Kdenlive have anything like that?
    Also, does it take full advantage of Nvidia graphics cards?
