I’m glad to see open source video editors are still evolving. I know Davinci Resolve has become popular with Linux YouTubers for serious work.

I’d be curious to know a video editors opinion of what’s missing. Is it stability, GPU acceleration, UI or a combination of all of the above? What would be needed for you to switch to Kdenlive for example?

Libraries of premade stuff is ALWAYS the benefit of Adobe, MSOffice etc.

And this is so easy.

Does KDENlive have some form of community stuff gallery?

I think it mostly relies on Glaxnimate for graphics and stuff, which supports most SVG and Lottie animations.

So there's not really a library, but things aren't hard to find.

I tried to edit a 2hr video in kdenlive. It hung immediately after I told it where the file was. I believe it tried to load and process the whole thing into a subset. It should have stored references instead. I can check again tho I did recently change from ubuntu where Kde was like 1 year out of date.
