Is there FOSS video editing software?

I use smplayer with MPV.

Ha ha ha too bad, yes, those fruity basterds :lemon::honeybee::lemon:

On the other hand you can run mpv (which is what i currently use) on all platforms =)
For reference to anyone interested and having in mind that some are for (my) real time editing needs, these are the (lua) scripts I have installed. Some are slightly modified and others older versions. Bold is for can’t live without you baby

  • /// 8.0K auto-profiles.lua.zip /// still working it out
  • 8.0K autoload.lua
  • 8.0K autosub.lua (uses subliminal)
  • 8.0K change-OSD-media-title.lua
  • 8.0K cycle-video-rotate.lua
  • ~8.0K delogo.lua~ // what are you doing here, get out!!!
  • 8.0K drag-to-pan.lua.zip – activated only when needed {ø}
  • 8.0K easycrop.lua.zip – different uses from crop, ø
  • 8.0K encode.lua.zip – ø
  • 8.0K drc-control.lua
  • 8.0K equalizer.lua
  • 8.0K EXCPT.zip – this is excerpt.lua, ø
  • 8.0K fpsadjust.lua
  • 8.0K navigator.lua
  • 8.0K ontop-playback.lua
  • 8.0K progress.zip – this is progressbar.lua, ø
  • 8.0K reload.lua
  • 8.0K slicing.lua.zip – different capabilities from excerpt, used to extract in/out marked sections
  • 8.0K stats.lua
  • 16K crop.lua
  • 16K playlistmanager.lua – with navigator gives mpv playlist like basic interface

 
MPV USER SCRIPTS
User Scripts · mpv-player/mpv Wiki · GitHub - Some of the user’s scripts are OS “endemic”

Playing a video from youtube is as simple as mpv “https://youtu.be/sTTKUvWsuFo”
You can play only the audio if you wish and since this version (experimental) you can even record whatever you stream. I really enjoy the DRC (dynamic range control) script and the binaural af=lavfi=[bs2b=profile=jmeier] option as I can hear audio spacially loud on my AKGs donuts :doughnut:

 
Now boring screengrabs to annoy everybody :stuck_out_tongue:

standard pseudo-gui (change-OSD-media-title => dropped frames apppear after the played %)

Stats (can be permanent or momentaneous); as this stream had no audio, no audio stats

I am starting to use gnome-mpv instead of VLC.

https://gnome-mpv.github.io/

44

I am wondering why people love mpv. Is it any better than VLC or QtAV?

45

I’ve never tried QtAV but mpv has better-feeling seeking than VLC.

46

Last time I checked VLC didn’t support display profiles which mpv (and mplayer which it’s based on) does.

$ cat ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf 
vo=opengl-hq:fbo-format=rgba32f:linear-scaling:icc-profile-auto,xv

Another benefit is that it comes without a GUI and starts quickly. So in essence it’s a better mplayer.

I am testing it to see that exactly.

Resurrecting an old thread: Does there exist a pixls.us for video editing? I don’t want to muck up this forum with too many of those questions if they really don’t belong here. Specifically, I’m taking a look at Shotcut because of its editing abilities, and I’d like to browse some reliable information and Q&A feedback before I take the plunge. Currently, I’m using a NCH Videopad, which is free but non-FOSS. Thank you.

Pixls.us already touches the video world with accommodating natron. So at least some video related people are active here.

If there is another more video centric place with similar spirit I would of course love to hear from it.

And where is the pixls.us for audio/music production? I checked sampls.us but did not succeed :wink:.

I think a lot of the other communities are tool-centric. @frd is heavily involved with kdenlive, maybe he can say.

I think the same is true for audio, very tool-centric. @hellocatfood does some production though. Maybe he can comment.

Hm, probably the same was true regarding photography before Pat came to unite and others stepped in, e.g. you … I really think this (pixls.us) is a huge success story and would wish for more such success stories :wink:.

Shotcut has its own forum: https://forum.shotcut.org/

I would like to also have a video focused floss forum, maybe here is the place to do it. Also you have this subreddit (not very active):
https://www.reddit.com/r/Linux_Filmmaking/

Kdenlive has a forum, but it isn’t very user friendly, so you might want to use the telegram group: Telegram: Contact @kdenlive

Good to know, thanks! Sometimes I’m a little leery of information I get directly on a product forum, but this one looks ok from what I can tell. It even uses the same forum software as pixls.us. :grinning:

For music there’s lots of general music production websites such as lines: https://llllllll.co/ and KVR Audio https://www.kvraudio.com/ They’re welcoming to discussion around open source software so just start a discussion. There’s also Linux musicians https://linuxmusicians.com/ it’s dedicated to open source but gets less traffic so you might not get an answer to your questions quickly.

That’s a good question: should we reach out more to various video/film projects and see if they’d like to join? I feel like they have enough in common with what many do here (cinematographers, film makers, other creatives and techno-nerds).

I know I’ve learned a literal ton of new things since so many smart folks have taken the time to share with everyone here…

I think we should reach out to KDE people as well, they create Kdenlive and digiKam after all.

I can point the Kdenlive community to here if this becomes a video forum as well… better than r/kdenlive :wink:
