I need to find a better video editing program.
Shotcut is fine for short things but I'm sure that I can automate some stuff more if I find something better.
Like, if I found something that adds a picture when there's sound coming from one audio track and leaves it blank when there's no sound that would be a huge help already for when I edit the podcast.
@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest I use either KdenLive or DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve is a professional level program but, is free since Blackmagic make most of their money from optional hardware that's then used with DaVinci Resolve
Also they make super expensive video cameras so they get money from that too
Oh there's also a version of DaVinci that does cost money, but I've never needed any of its features and I've done some pretty complex stuff in davinci resolve, ie motion stabilisation of drone footage and such
KdenLive is a FOSS option developed by KDE, it's really quite good
@skye@derg.social Do you know if either does what I described?
@getimiskon@fedi.getimiskon.xyz @raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest ehh if by same library you mean ffmpeg, that's just an encoder, and Davinci resolve does a lot more
But that's dependent on needs ofc, try kdenlive by all means
@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest I get the feeling that podcast thing should be possible using DaVinci's very expressive node system
Ie varying the opacity according to the audio level with a very extreme curve.. or smth like that
@kkarhan@infosec.space
Someone recommended it.
It looks a bit complicated
@raccoon lets just say it takes a bit more time to get fast at compared to Premiere Elements, iMovie or other tools...
If you're experienced with other NLEs or Tools like Blender that'll help you too...
