FUCKING OPENSHOT
3.3.0 appimage has decided to segfault on start. didn't yesterday, does today.
3.4.0 appimage crashes immediately on vaapi on this laptop (yes, bug reported) and CPU is as i type this rendering at a stunning 1.8fps (3.3.0 rendered at 8fps)
*fucking*
but i don't waaaaannnnaaaa learn kdenlive
fuck i'm gonna hafta learn kdenlive
@davidgerard i liked kdenlive quite a bit
@hipsterelectron @davidgerard Seconded. Even though it's basically just an ffmpeg wrapper (don't yell at me I know it's a hair more than this, but it's still calling out to other software a *lot*). In fact, that's kind of what's brilliant about it to me. Incredible code economy. The only small complaint I might have is that the UI could be slightly less cluttered. Still figured it out in about 20 minutes and I've used it to make professional presentations for work plenty since then. It's truly nice for everything from quick memes to titlecard animations and professional looking watermarking and logo placement. There are a silly number of video effect plugins for a free program. Trust me David you will not regret learning to use it, it's like 20 minutes of dicking around and you're free
@somebody @davidgerard the only thing i would yell at you for is not identifying the incredibly toxic stance the ffmpeg maintainers have towards documentation. a build system also calls out to external code a lot and in fact that's what makes it effective
@hipsterelectron @davidgerard I've never worked on ffmpeg, so I guess I've not encountered that side of the project. As an end user though, I'm quite happy with the cli docs. That is however very little of the documentation you really need on the development and maintenance side of things, and I'm sure that there are power users who would complain (after all, I just use the kdenlive front end for a reason except for like a few scripts I made such as my two pass webm script for sending videos without eating up bandwidth).
If what you're saying is true, I'd probably get sick of it pretty quick. I would rather delay a commit by weeks if that's how long it takes to document every few lines. I really do insist on every few lines. If you can't articulate what the code's doing in your native tongue, you don't understand it. If you don't understand it, you shouldn't ship it.
@somebody @davidgerard only time i've ever locked my account on twitter from abuse was after they namesearched and quoted me when i was trying to show off a wasm build (i had not yet realized wasm was evil) and found their library API docs are "read the header files you fucking idiot. PRs welcome btw"
@hipsterelectron @davidgerard Christ alive what the hell is that behavior? Why are there so many deranged assholes in the free software world? I would fire someone over that
@hipsterelectron @davidgerard OH just regarding video processing and the fact that sending large files willy nilly is a pox on the infrastructure, one of the most annoying things about the "nicer" social or chat platforms like this one is that they process your video after you upload it. I'll get it down to like 2MB by aggressively transcoding it to webm with my two pass maximal interframe settings script. Upload it here or wherever. Download it again, it's 50MB. Mf just serve the file I uploaded
@hipsterelectron first time i tried it i had no idea what was going on, second i did a better
@fasterandworse loves it
bah
openshot would be great if it FUCKING WORKED
@davidgerard @fasterandworse i was glad i started filming for my emacsconf talk two days before and not the day of
@davidgerard Oh it's not that bad! XD
@davidgerard kdenlive is great!
like no strings attached its fucking great.
@davidgerard I'm in the same boat, but I decided to learn Blender for video editing
@edolnx gonna do everything with the world's longest ffmpeg command line
@davidgerard @edolnx yes this. 😊
but in reality blender is pretty ok for video.
davinci resolve (free version) works on linux and is a really good editor... but obviously proprietary.
