-Olive. Olive 0.1 is currently in it alpha stage and it's better than kdenlive, you'll find many distort vfx, main effects, or which i personally use are more often are,

Transform, which gives you ability to scale, position, control opacity and the best part is that you can animate these in a graph editor and can achieve all those fancy/cool transitions that you see in AE, actually you can follow AE tutorials too, if there is any fav. creator and they have made a tutorial for their let's say transition, you can follow them.

and other vfx like Tiles, waves, ripple, chroma key, and many more.

as of now, graph editor in Olive 0.2 do not work properly, so if you don't want to animate your effects with graphs, then you should prefer 0.2(as it give an amazing feature of setting Preview resolution which is not in Olive 0.1) and if you want to animate your effects with graph editor then you'll need to use olive 0.1. When olive 0.2 gets fix, this post will be edited.

-Natron

Although you can do much more than basic editing in Olive, but as i said, it's in its development stage, and don't have many vfx, so if you want to use more vfx, like glow, edge detect or many others which comes with famous plugins like sapphire or bcc, then you should use natron for applying effects, although I won't recommend to use natron as the main editing software, but use what you like/prefer :)

3D stuff

BLENDER. blender is just the best for 3d stuff, if you want to make text like BCC plugins, you can animate your 3d text in blender and then you a solid color as background then use it in any video editing software, say Olive, then use chroma key. Off course there is much more to do in blender, but as a video editor, i guess you'll only be needing it to make 3D animated text.

SLOWMO/TWIXTOR ALTERNATIVE

Have a Nice DAY

Trying various software with mts files and:

• Lightworks: better UI now, import is ok but free version is limited to 720p and full version is expensive for my usage
• Davinci resolve: no mts support at all with free version, probably no support on paid version either.
• kdenlive: ok but even adding Text is complicated
• Shotcut: limited?
• Kinemaster / power director on ChromeOS: no mts support

Any suggestion to unlock 1080 on lkws or enable mts on resolve?

I don't won't to loose hours converting video codecs

hello there, i really dont have anything else to talk about so this is what i'll be talking about. Ngl, nowadays i dont hv any good ideas about videos for the channel, im trying to post a video atleast a week but that can also extend upto as far as 3 months lol. and this is also the "exam month" for me so yeah. and what is enter? ( im going to talk about it even if you havent asked) so i. have. started a video editor, yeah.. well, there is not any video editing software which fits my needs, kdenlive, didnt fit, and olive's development has been stopped so yeah, after all these i decided to just start my own. so yeah, this is what enter is, and you wnna know about the story behind the name "enter" ? doesnt matter, i am going to yap about it, so while thinking about the name, the very first thing i saw from my very own eyes was the key "enter" of my keyboard, and there it is LOL. and now if i think about it, we can do so many puns now, "enter, the FOSS editor" lol. and now you may ask why im starting from start instead of forking olive or some other project, reason being that i really dont know anything(the video editing stuffs, i have been programming so 4-5 years as of now), so that's why i thought it's better for me to start from sctach and build up while learning stuff, and in past 1-2 month i learned how opengl core profile, and now i can render a video on glTexture. YAYY. so yeah, that's all about the enter. as of now it's really nothing,

this is the base ui, it is going to change a LOT. also im thinking of something entirely different approch

as you can see, this idea resembles an average photo editing software, and it's kinda looking promising, the vertical timeline instead of the traditional horizontal one, kinda looking forward to it. so that's all it. I know that i have taken a HUGE project but hey, i aint backing off now. i want to compete with all the fancy video editors that are available in market, like sony vegas and adobe's product, and i wish to achieve what blender did.
