   This is the #LightWorks video editor on Linux. It's not open source, but if #Kdenlive or #Shotcut doesn't work for you, you might wanna give it a go. The free version is limited to exporting 720p only. Which might be enough if you're exporting for #PeerTube, where bandwidth is expensive.

     @nielso @lps @eugenialoli There are a couple of professional editors in the Kdenlive team, including myself. Objectively, what are you basing your comment on?

     I have been using Kdenlive.

     It's a good tool, and it can do a lot for the price, but you can feel quite directly that it is originally made by Linux nerds, not by video editing nerds.

     I've been complaining a lot about Lightworks, but e.g. it does have a multicam editing mechanism that is missing in many other NLEs.

     @eugenialoli @nielso Yes, #resolve is very solid, and actually cross platform, which sets it apart from anything else out there. It has all the must-have pro features, but for straight forward editing, I think I wouldn't bother with #lighworks when #kdenlive does the job, and keeps getting better all the time:)

     I have the Pro version, however a very old one. I hope they got their bugs fixed by now. Things like that with a later version the dynamics of my h264 footage had changed all of a sudden, or that in floating point color mode, overflows would yield in funny colors instead if plain white, or not being able to deal with h265 properly, importing FLAC audio but then not being able to handle it. At some point they lost JACK support, don't know if it came back.

     I need to upgrade my Kubuntu before I can try the latest version of #Lightworks. Many issues might be fixed now, but it's a hassle to find out if later versions make it better or worse for me.

     But I think I should have gotten into #Blackmagic #Davinci #Resolve instead… which is the other professionel #NLE available for #Linux.

     @frd @eugenialoli @nielso I haven't used it in a project for a bit, but a couple of quick things that come to mind are closed captions, and comprehensive keyboard layouts built in. I know they can be found online, but they should be available, and of high quality, immediately after install. Adaptive playback resolution in the timeline monitor would help as well, to improve performance. I find myself setting up hotkeys to continually switch resolutions to make it more responsive.

     As you can see in my earlier comments above, the work being done on Kdenlive is amazing, and it keeps getting better and better. There is a bright future:)

     BTW is there a good, official, place that users can submit feedback or even test features to help the community?
