Just recently switched back to Linux after more than a decade away. (I’m currently running Mint Cinnamon if anyone is curious) On Windows I was using the free version of Davinci Resolve for all of my video editing. I quickly discovered that the free version of Resolve for Linux doesn’t support H.264/H.265 so after trying every Linux video editor I could find (even Blender) I’ve settled on using Kdenlive. I’ve been having a good time getting everything dialed in and learning Kdenlive. I was able to get hardware acceleration working with my Nvidia GPU, and I really appreciated that it could natively utilize the proxy clips that my DJI Action 3 generates when recording. I’ve been reading all kinds of tips and tricks articles but most of it is just basic stuff. Anyone using Kdenlive have more advanced tips to share? Particularly anything around title generation and animation as I’ve found Kdenlive’s system to be a little clunky. Let’s talk!
Oh, I see what you mean about the Glaxnimate Flatpak. I just tried it out.
You can get it to work, but it’s a bit of a hack. You first need to create a script containing:
Let’s call it
glaxor something like that. Then make it executable:chmod +x glaxThen in Kdenlive, go to Settings -> Configure Kdenlive -> Environment -> Standard Applications, change the one for editing animation to point to that script. Should work now. At least, it did for me!
And yeah, shame about the audio processing.
