@hipsterelectron OH but related, people look at me like I'm nuts when my own research into a proper secure messaging protocol for out in the open use on the current internet when I'm just like "oh yeah, I have only one packet size for literally everything but I fuzz them with garbage at the end so there's zero ability to look and say 'this is an X length packet'". Idk why they can't see it. only the mfs I hang out with that are doing the deep security work, like for states, still actually go "duh"

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 @hipsterelectron you rapidly find that *everything* is an ffmpeg wrapper
@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 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.
