The audio issue is a common one. It happens becuase the snip point is when the waveform is not at 0 exactly, leaving a cliff that makes an audible blip. If you have issues with this in various programs, look for a setting that says something like "clip at zero crossings" or something like that which will either fade out the audio before it a bit to 0, or quantize it to the closest zero crossing. Many editors do this as a rule (as Kdenlive does now apparently)
Does it happen to other editors?
@@yes_man_loli think on shotcut yeah
@@yes_man_lol when it was still HItfilm Express - I experienced this too.
I have a feeling in a couple years kdenlive could be THE video editor
Yeah similar to blender
I think Godot will also be taking the #1 indie dev game engine over the next few years, replacing unity
Meanwhile unreal will still be usable but more targeted towards small/large studios instead of actual indie devs
@@fossforever512 Before they become the #1 indie engine, the 3D engine will need to be updated (so hopefully 4.0), and GDscript will also need to be optimised.
But if/when it happens, it will be a massive W for the FOSS community, even when Microsoft is trying to eradicate Linux.
It would be nice if it could work as well as Davinci or even half as good. But it's like 6 different things smashed into a video editor sadly. We need a new video editor wrote from ground up. Kdenlive keeps changing every update, then brakes, doesn't work right without the knowledge to fix it whatever distribution and Desktop environment you're using. They even get the names wrong for edits. Like ripple delete.
i hope they beat the Sh***t out of Dav Res and i hope thy stay honest and do not play games like davinci resolve obviously does ...and since they dont work on RESOLVING the issue with GPU errors, i cant think otherwise but that they simply progrmmed it to stop working after 5 projects while shotcut , vegas, KDenlive, blender , and many others like filmora, which i tested one after another, did their job very well.
@@uniquetruth2097 I never had 1 issues with Davinci, paid or free. You have to run paid on linux
Resolve's color tab is insanely good. I wish that there was some solid FOSS color correction software.
Resolve color tab is literally an Hollywood grade tool, so yeah, it's great that we have and that and that it's free. Too bad that everything else looks bad next to it once you used it and also too bad that Resolve is so hard to use on Linux
I never really used both, but try Blender's Compositer?
@@Silverhawk-u2f I can't use anything else but Davinci Resolve now. For last few years, Lol
@@nerdydrow Blender is not good for video editing, maybe very basic video editing.
@@garyjenkins7861 the Blender compositor is for color corrections and such, not editing, that is why I suggested it
For the past five years I have used KdenLive and while it had stability issues at first, I cannot remember when last I had any issues with it. I am thankful that there are powerful alternatives available but I am most certainly not going to fix anything that is not broken in my case.
The most unbugged version of kdenlive that I tried was from the appimage from the official site. When I was looking for a video editor, I tried a lot of editors. In the end, I chose Flowblade.
Snap, app, flat, are traps to lock your software and hardware, just like crapple,microcrap and gaggle. You will own nothing and they will be happy. Those will not let you pull video and other work off external drives. Big problem.
Flowblade w/o customisation of hotkeys - it is a pure rubbish.
@@garyjenkins7861 Could you go into more detail? What's snap, app and flat? I know what crapple, micrcrap and gaggle are, but those other 3 are a mystery to me.
@@garyjenkins7861yes they will. You just have to make sure their permissions are set correctly, and usually apps I download from discover have needed permissions auto set for flatpak apps. Snap sucks, yes, but flatpak and AppImage are fine. Just to prove a point I went and downloaded flatpak kdenlive and I’m able to access all my files, including from external drives.
Kden is my favorite of editors, even on windows. I remember trying to make a school film project using Openshot and it was horrible to fix the issues the editor would make with clips. Using Kden was like switching from a basic barbell to an olympic sized one, changed everything for the better
Hey! As a fellow Kden user that's a noob, how do I update it to the latest version on windows. Is there any way other than reinstalling? I cant install linux ATM...
@@DhanuRadha5 Sadly reinstalling it seems to be the only way ATM on windows unless I missed an option or setting. I still use 21.12.1 since I'm lazy with updating.
@@saltytunes1883 TYSM! ShotCut has that feature and I was considering switching. Kden is great for the most part but it glitches out or crashes on my pc sometimes and manually patching is a pain...
@@DhanuRadha5 Manually updating is annoying but you don't need to do it constantly unless there's a major version release. Maybe update this one time and see if it still crashes or glitches out. Maybe a newer version has updating built-in, I dunno though since I run an older one. One idea is to run a Linux VM and just use KDen that way as it's supposedly more stable.
@@DhanuRadha5 I downloaded the latest version and installed it on top of my old program. Just make sure the old program is not running, and as a matter of practice, accept the suggested installation locations.
Thanks for this video. I'm on a MacBook Pro M2 and my son is on Linux. What's your view on running Kdenlive on an M1/M2 as I'd like us to both get going on the same software if we can.
My favorite things about Kdenlive is it's ability to be used on older computers and it's support of gifs and webms.
Yes, resolve won't run on my computer but kadenlive works great
@@jessejames586 You Resolve would run But its bit too much to edit an 2-3 min video. nowm I'm planning yo switch to kaidenlive
maybe a dumb question, but did you try to file bugs for Kdenlive? That would help
Kdenlive is the true meaning of 'open-source'. Forget all those commercial editing crap like DaVinci and Premiere. Kdenlive is a fully-packed editor which I'm gonna be using for not a short time. I can guarantee that...
Kdenlive is also developed for windows too so improvements in that in particular can help draw windows users to Linux. If they primarily edit video and Kdenlive works for them moving to Linux is a lot easier.
Closed source bad open source good, repeat with me, closed source bad...
@@loafboi but unironically.
Resolve is Godly You can't Deny. And after 2 years It became even better Much better than Premier pro. Only downside is I can't Pay on low end pc. Idk how much freedom Kaidenlive gives. But Resolve had Full Freedom. I can Do Anything as long as I am skilled enough. Every parameter can be controlled
Both are good video editing softwares.
I have noticed when I change the speed of the video and click on the box for pitch correction. it has this echo sound and that is no good. hope there is a fix with that
what if your having issues with popping when theres no audio on track and only video. is it some sort of version issue or is it an issue with something else?
hey when I import video in resolve the sound is not there only videos, any tips to resolve this. If I import mp3 audio separately it works. use zorin Linux.
Hey, quck question. Do you use the normal installation from the terminal or as an appimage?
normal installation has problems with dark mode (buttons are hidden), so I suggest appimage
@@theyellowarchitect4504 your a little late buddy, but thanks i guess
I switched from kdenlive to shotcut...I can confirm that shotcut has hardware acceleration for rendering..as far as i know the free version of DaVinci Resolve has no hardware acceleration..I read that somewhere..
using which video card ? or is agnostic
Nice video. I have tried Kdenlive multiple times and I'm impressed by it functions and usability, but I'm having (on multiple different installations) issues with importing and exporting projectfiles to a AAF or any other format to have it interchangeable with other editors (and their favorite tool to use). How did you export from Kdenlive to Resolve and back? Or do you make new projects for each step with multiple hi-res in-between-renders?
Which linux distro are you using with Davinci Resolve? I've been using Davinci Resolve on Debian for years now but I'm annoyed that there will be times it will freeze for hours. I like to try another linux distro.
I am pretty happy with kdenlive.
And I am pretty sure Resolve has many features as well, but unfortunately here in my laptop which has AMD GPU it's doesn't work.
(Radeon R5/R6/R7 Graphics and Radeon 540/540X/550/550X / RX 540X/550/550X)
What is needed to get color correction working better on kdenlive?
I made the switch to Pop OS entirely two days ago and I'm going to MISS Fusion!!!
Maybe in the future I'll purchase a license but for now, I'm not going to deal with the BEEG Yoshi file sizes. I'm gonna try out Kden, Shotcut, and Flowblade. See what I like.
Don't be sorry btw. They made updates to "resolve" those issues. That's a good sign of a dedicated team.
I jumped to KDenLive from Davinci Resolve because it was always such a goddamn pain dealing with media formats.
Sometimes it would just silently refuse to import, sometimes it would import and not have the audio, it was all so infuriating. And you were never told what was actually wrong with your file!
KDenLive seems to just accept most files fine.
Edit: I have since discovered that KdenLive has functionality like it was made 10 years ago
Davinci is the only option if you want moderately complex editing 😬
True man
@@Is.Mwas17 Unfortunately I found that KdenLive is also super super basic and can't do a third of the stuff I want to do easily :(
Maybe in a few years it'll get there, but for now I'm stuck with Davinci's awful codec support again...
@@Jacksaur_ if you have the free version of davinci...... well... dont use it, it sucks BUT you can always...
pirate the premium version.
@@Therealalphajake what the heck is this timing? Literally just yesterday I was having problems with Resolve importing files again and found out that *h264* is only in the premium version!
265 I would maybe understand, but charging for 264 is pretty terrible. Thanks for the... "Recommendation" though.
Sorry for the delayed comment, but @TechHut, did you notice a big difference in render times between kdenlive and Resolve? I feel kdenlive is quite a bit slower but I'm finding it hard to measure
Did a short comparison test, same "short" video, CPU usage similar, Kdenlive slightly quicker. The only real difference was file size! Compared H264 only.
I suppose it would be very interesting for the beginners' community to see your comparison video kdenlive vs shotcut and hear your thoughts regarding both of them...
Flowblade is also becoming more competitive as of version 2.10+ so it will probably come down to them vs. Olive and Cinelerra in the future, which is a Good Thing.
Any word on when/if makeresolvedeb is going to be updated so we can install DR 18? I could get version 17.sometthing but I couldn't get 18 to work.
Just piping in here. I was originally excited about Davinci Resolve ... until I read about the difficult installation ... and the expensive computer for the needed graphics card ... and it only outputs in the outdated MOV format ...Ugh! I just stayed with Kdenlive and even discovered how to make my own custom wipes in GIMP to use in Kdenlive!
I really appreciate this video. I like watching things get better with time and going back and revisiting things to see how they've improved or have been fixed. I feel like you made an awesome choice to make this video so people like me can see how far Kdenlive has come. I can only hope one day kdenlive surpasses Resolve in all it's features.
Kdenlive is improving every day.
I used to edit on OpenShot but it failed me in that it played video in a stuttering motion. Also, it didn't like the type of video I was producing. I was using stills and timing the scene changes to the audio beats. I used 100+ stills in a ~45 second long video. However, I am not producing that kind of video anymore.
A few months back, I started producing scriptless videos. I am using CapCut video editor. But a software engineering friend is gifting me with a laptop with Linux OS. With both the desktop version of CapCut and the mobile it does what I want it to do.
When I was doing scripted videos, I would record the audio separately from the video. I would process it through audicity and speed it up. Then build a a video around that audio track.
CapCut does do automatic pitch correction when speeding up or slowing down video. Can Kdenlive do this? Further, can you increase video speed in smaller incriminates like 1.1, 1.2, ... 1.9, 2.0% faster?
Have you ever used Blender as your main video editor? I'm curious about how Blender would fare against Kdenlive or Shotcut...
Did not work on my setup, AMD CPU and GPU! Slow render and poor CPU usage was a killer for me.
Man Blender is not a Good Video editor Compared to others. Its Ok enough
I just used KDEnlive for the first time in the last week. I have a pretty up-spec machine, though a little thin on RAM at 16GB. I put together a video on a week long bicycle trip, in total it had maybe 30 video chunks and 30 photos, plus 8 or so title cards. Not terribly complex. My problem is that KDEnlive crashed. A LOT. Not doing any one thing either, just sort of randomly. Sometimes while dropping a photo into the timeline, sometimes scootching a video clip over in the timeline, sometimes while playing the edited stream. In most cases it would just suddenly get very stuttery, the mouse cursor would become jumpy and slow, the entire system would very nearly lock up (still working but clicking on another window would take 30 seconds to change focus) then after between 5 seconds and 5 minutes, KDEnlive would just close and the system would return to normal. I'd say in the course of 4 days it must have crashed at least 60 times. All the source material was 4K MP4 and JPGs. This can't be normal can it?
I am thinking of turning my HP z620 into a dedicated video editing machine. Are there any NVIDIA cards I should avoid or prefer for use with Resolve. The machine has 128gb of RAM but the current video card is underspec at 1gb. There are some 8gb NVIDIA cards in my price range but I don't want to go through a bunch of setup only to find out, oh by the way this is the one card that will never work for me.
I tried to resolve but it never opened. Even when I tried to reinstall it multiple times
Kdenlive needs the Blender philosophy, they need to copy what Blender is doing, copy their management and development strategy.
Problem is, KDE has 50 different things on their plate already from the tens of projects they have
I really like the plugins for DaVinci Resolve - I am not planning to deep dive into video editing. I just want to buy plugins for all the cool stuff and get things done. That's better in Resolve - isn't it?
Can someone tell me how I can get AMD HVEC H265 in Kdenlive, been looking for awhile, but can't figure out how to add it. I have an AMD graphics card & no I will not change my graphics card when it works just fine. (I have a 6650XT). I stream/record with H265 so I would very much like to use H265 to video edit as well instead of AMF H264. Since one its less efficient, less qaulity & makes everything more bulky, file wise.
Kdenlive is what I'm used to outside of Davinci Resolve, I don't like the fact I have to keep going to the website to update to new version instead of a automatic update system like almost all other apps & software so I've been trying to use Kdenlive. Since again, I hate the more complicated update process of Davinci, I love Davinci Resolve don't get me wrong its just the update system they need to implement, just like a button they can press to update it to the newest version at the very least without having to go through an install over & over again when theres a new version.
when I started video editing I tried everything that was free on both windows and linux and discarded many promising options because they were simply too sluggish to use on my cheap laptop. kdenlive has a few quirks (such as adding subtitles is a few more clicks than ideal) but it's much more responsive and theirfore usable than the others that I tried. Also you can group clips into one and move them about - something that was simple agonizing in other editors
Kdenlive needs a camera shake effect using key frames just doesn't look right looks too robotic
How does this software compare to capcut?
Would you be open updating the title. I misread your title as "Kdenlive, I'm sorry [your still not that good]" but you meant the opposite. Maybe could you say "Kdenlive, I'm sorry I was wrong" or such to make it clearer this video is PRO Kdenlive as I almost assessed Resolve must be the only legit option after mis-interpreting your video title. Before going stuff it I'll watch his Kdenlive hate video.
I second that. I nearly ditched Kdenlive without watching the video when I saw the title.
Thanks for this.
What are your thoughts about Kdenlive vs. Shotcut, for Win 11?
Kde
My experience with Kdenlive was interesting. I really like the GUI, layout, and everything. It all makes sense, more than DaVinci even. But when I tried working with 4K HDR clips, it couldn't play them back at all. It was useless for me. So I just went back to my other editors.
For some reason. I can't find the program after I installed it.
I use trim get it right or get it short
I remove Kdenlive after a few hours from my system, ... it was absolut unstable, impossible to work with it.
Resolve is a good video editor, I just wish the free version didn't have limits on what video effects you can use, and instead only limit the features that are only useful to pros such as advanced compositing (I'd say more than 6 nodes) and so on.
I love shotcut
Shotcut is the most stable/feature rich and the only FOSS NLE to have hardware accelerated timeline/render queue.
I tried all the Linux editors and finally settled with resolve
With GIMP and Reaper, KDENLive is part of my personal holy trinity of Editing software I use on all my stuff hahah. I switched to it after using FLowblade for almost 5 years and boi, am I happy nowadays.
Kdenlive, GIMP, Audacity and OBS! Have all on WIn and LINUX, works for me!
I agree, brother. These are the best softwares. We need to donate so that they could constantly develop programs.
I installed Davinci Resolve on Manjaro, Linux Mint, Zorin OS 16, few others. But was never able to get it to see my Sony Camera's video or Audio. webcam from pc was fine, but nothing else. It works in Windows Perfect. That is the only reason I have a copy of Windows. Just for DaVinci. If you know how to fix this, then please let me know. Thanks for your time.
I would use Kdenlive more if the rendering times were not so atrocious! I have tried using my GPU with little to no good gains! I will stay with Resolve
The issue I have with KDEnlive is colour flickering especially at the end of a clip before another begins, never shows up during playback within KDEnlive always on the final rendered file, and only goes away with a h265 mp4 which doesn't work well with my TV or Android playback also the file is stupidly large, so now I'm debating Davinci Resolve Studio because I'm also tired of Natron crashing on me during lengthy effects projects.
Advice please.... I'm horrible at video editing and I hear Resolve is kinda hard to use ...I e actually tried using it ...I run both Linux on some of my lappys 💻 and Windows on others and I actually have Resolve installed on my Lenovo lappy but when rediting the fan runs at top speed and just seems like it struggling even though the lappy isn't extremely old and has a i5 and 2 drives with over 1 TB memory...regardless what did you end up liking best and please any help is appreciated ....Liked and Subbed. 😇
Used flow blade when I started. Used iMovie after that as rendering was faster. Used a windows 7 I made into Mint laptop. Now I use Kdenlive 19.?? whatever is in the software manager. I did use a more updated kdenlive and didn’t like how I had to fiddle around trying to find gain and transform. Subtitles suck in iMovie and having to use gimp with transparent background is just pointless busywork but at least it gets something done.
Do you use Ubuntu as main desktop?
I use a computer that’s like 6 years old and Kdenlive works at a snail’s pace, pausing at least 10 seconds after everything I do, sometimes hanging for over 5 minutes!
The only thing that makes kdenlive really bad for me, is the lack of quick and easy image importing. I want to directly copy and then paste an image from google into my kdenlive timeline
The best thing about kdenlive is that it's super powerful but also good for low end pcs
Have you tried Olive editor?
notron (like after effects)
Have you tried Pitivi?
Love the layout but keep crashing on me.
Using Mp3 files in any editor is risky. Even if you don't hear a pop like you did in Kdenlive. I would always stay away from Mp3 in any type of timeline. Also; I don't know any software that won't give you issues if you change the project framerate mid editing.
Multiple timelines and file-specific custom metadata can raise it to the next PRO level.
I am using Kdenlive. I just could not get DaVinci Resolve to run for nothing.
The Linux cast has the same problem where his audio glitches from being chopped up
Will you ever make a guide to KDENlive?
Are these problems currently happening aswell?
Uh am I the only one who loves Flowblade? 👀
We can fix it. We are Kdenlive. It's open-source
Thank for the review
This will come in handy
Since I use my old laptop as my Linux machine running Pop OS I can edit videos from my newer laptop to my linux laptop
@@Mark6O9 nice to know!
Number one rule with Kdenlive is save frequently
I had a bad experience with my first time using kdenlive and probably wont use it again. I do really like using openshot. That was my first video editor i started with and i still like it but i started using DaVinci Resolve and I like it as well though it is gonna take some time to learn it will be nice use it.
Please do a KDEnlive vs Shotcut comparison.
For Resolve, to be honest, I can't get that software to run no matter the distro (I already tried on RHEL 9 and all previous and current version of CentOS based distro including itself and it didn't launch at all either, not even after install latest graphic driver with CUDA and OpenCL) so I already gave up on that.
have you tried macOS/windows? XD
@@yaolet It work on those, at least in Windows, I don't have Mac with new enough OS so I don't know but I don't think it will have any problem on it if I get one.
Has anyone been able to solve this problem?
1:23 unintentional pun
no good incentives, no good results.
"At the moment X is nothing better for doing Y on Linux..." goes almost unsaid, but is usually phrased as "X is the best App on Linux for doing Y..." as if that makes it a reason to use it,as there is bugger all choice, and saying its the best is like being the tallest dwarf in the room.
In linux mac and windows for me both kdenlive and davinci are the way TO go... Kdenlive is getting better..and better.. Trust me premiere has made me waste time in some non sense whereas kdenlive and davinci do not...
In linux i preferí app image and flatpak...
Nice vudeo❤!
profiles is my and only enemy in Kdenlive. I got used to After Effects's easy-to-change composition settings, where I can simply change fps and resolution and it won't ask me to create new profile for that or would corrupt anything. I really wish functionally like such. I would like alternative to After Effects actually.
Natron is the closest comparison with After Effects, especially with all the plug-ins including G'Mic.
@@ConMag-Fhionnghaile Yet it's not a non-linear compositing like AE. I still like Natron workflow though
you show the problems with Kdenlive, fair complaints, then you show the problems with Resolve, which are also pretty significant.
for me on Linux, i find Olive video editor a pleasure to use, but it's not always without problems either 😕
Thank you.
Olive is another open-sauce video editor
A barely updated piece of garbage.
@@Sprogster arch and arch based distro is updated everyday or weekly, way better the virus OS windows , and spying windows and ios
1:25 the idea was RESVOLEd? 😂😂
I have been ha happy kdenlive user for many years making local television - multitrack and compared to limited avid studio in the old days.
But DR is cool but I can't just import my files from Gopro and canon files - I need to transcode them - also I can't do h264 out rendering so I render out to dnxhd format so I need to transcode the output from Davincy Resolve to smaller mp4 - but maybe its because I use the free version - but the free versions does work fine on mac,windows.
I can use the transcoder part of kdenlive but strange that the Linux version of Davincy is limited on the this part.
Kdenlive is great 👍
Vc aqui professor?
@@victornecromancer e ae
Yes, agree, brother.
👍
You are supposed to fade the cut points of any audio in any software.....
You don't need to do that in Davinci.. That sounds so tedious.
davinci is much better if using nvidia gpu but one of the problems are supported formats.
I can't no longer rendrr videos in Kdenlive. I had to switch to Blender
I use blender right now, could switch I guess idk I like blender now that I have learned kt
Good, because I could never get Resolve to work with my RX580.
If you ever run into any sort of problem, remember that this software is open-source. Instead of complaining, you can just support this hard-working team and just let them know about the issue and stuff so that they can fix it.
yeah, this silly comment has to show up on every open source project. You should remember, that complaining makes it BETTER.
@@Plrang no you should let them know you should not complain
As always writing a comment to support the channel
Can we warch youn edit one of your next vids in kdenlive
Kdenlive has imporoved a lot more since you made this one. How about another update!
Seeing as when i tried resolve the video would not even play, id say kdenlive is doing pretty good lol
thank you
Nowadays, Kdenlive is good and working stably.
You are not ready to use kdenlive 🤣
