Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Kdenlive and what they use it for.
  • FFmpeg 7.0 Released
    "Regular" people don't really need FFMPEG. Regular people need tools with GUIs that have a non-generic purpose. So stuff like https://kdenlive.org/en/ that are backed by ffmpeg are (imo) superior "regular" person tools. FFMPEG isn't complicated (its as complicated as any other CLI tool), it's that video encoding/decoding specifically is a hard problem space that you have to explicitly learn to better understand... - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago
  • Flowblade: Open-Source Video Editor
    Great that you got it to work. Just to make the list with potential tools a bit more complete: - Kdenlive is also a fairly capable video editor. https://kdenlive.org/en/ - From what I have heard the Blender video editor for many people is a go to tool as well. In this case it likely would have been overkill, but figured it is worth mentioning. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • What Online video editors do you use?
    You might be interested in Kdenlive. It's not online, but can be installed on any OS and I've had it running on some pretty dated machines. Source: 5 months ago
  • Remember when Windows had a native video editor?
    Kdenlive or shotcut for small/basic stuff. If you're outgrow those, then DaVinci Resolve Free. Source: 11 months ago
  • Window's 10 Video editor.
    Some free options include Kdenlive and Shotcut. I would have previously recommended Wondershare Filmora, but they recently did some pretty shady things with their licensing and I'd avoid them now despite the software actually being quite good. Source: 11 months ago
  • How to install Davinci?
    I tried for a time. I did time trials for a few others. For what they have to offer, I've put my time into KDenlive and didn't look back. Blender for 3-D animation is coming with leaps and strides. Source: 12 months ago
  • Made my own Steam Deck intro
    I use KDenLive open source regularly updated and is crossplatforn so you can swap from Linux to windows with a project file. Source: 12 months ago
  • Cubed Labyrinth gameplay 2 GIF
    Images edited and made in Gimp https://www.gimp.org/ Video edited and made in Kdenlive https://kdenlive.org/en/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Cannot render first 4K video. Need help
    You might have better luck with Kdenlive - much more forgiving of weaker hardware. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Easy to use creation type apps for 70yo dad
    Openshot is what I've used as a basic editor. If you want something a bit more advanced, look up Kdenlive. Microsoft is also pushing clipchamp these days but I've never used it. Source: about 1 year ago
  • My Sony Vegas Pro 14 Predicament
    As for free and open source software, there is some that is good and available on Windows. Kdenlive is of a similar level to Vegas. It's far above those simple open source things like OpenShot or ShotCut. I've used it myself and it's good software. Https://kdenlive.org/en/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How to install FILMORA editing software to Linux ?
    Best free and open-source: https://kdenlive.org/en/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Any recommendations on a free program for Linux Mint (using Google Chrome) to record videos of a decent quality?
    Obs-studio (https://obsproject.com/) can record the video, and if you need to edit those videos, use kdenlive (https://kdenlive.org/en/). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Every time you search on Google, look at Gmail, write a Google doc, etc, without using Chrome as your default browser, Google will nag you to use Chrome instead of alternative browsers. This is unfair and anti-competitive. Should the EU step in?
    It's not my specialty, but you can give kdenlive a try. Source: about 1 year ago
  • GUI Video Editing For Linux?
    For video editing: Pitivi is a simple video editor and looks like a GNOME app Kdenlive is a powerful video editor made by the KDE team. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is there other video editing software that's very easy to jump from this dumpster fire to?
    All video editors have similar layouts. I'd suggest either DaVinci Resolve or Kdenlive. Both are free. Resolve is somewhat high-end and there is a paid version, but it only adds a couple of features that only professional will need - the free one really is a complete and fully-functional editor. Kdenlive is less sophisticated (but not a whole lot less) and has the added benefit of also running on Macs or Linux. I... Source: about 1 year ago
  • And you thought Adler had it bad...
    I use Kdenlive which is hardly the best video editor, but it gets the job done. For something that complex you're probably looking at using After Effects. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What are some good editing softwares?
    The best one I could think of is Kdenlive. Here's the link if you want to download and try it for yourself: https://kdenlive.org/en/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What tiny camera would you recommend?
    Other software I used in the past was kdenlive that's quiet good software free and open source gives you lots of control but takes some effort to learn to use it properly. (https://kdenlive.org/en/). Source: over 1 year ago
  • I did the most unprofessional review possible of the pistorm32, here it is!
    If you do any more reviews you can use the open source video editor Openshot https://www.openshot.org/blog/ or KDEnLive https://kdenlive.org/en/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Video recording/editing programs, what do you use and why?
    Yes. https://kdenlive.org/en/ Enjoy & all the best 2023! Source: over 1 year ago
