Welcome! This community is focused on sharing video editing tips, tricks, best practices, and software
Some quick rules:
No trolling/grieving/being a jerk (This is subjective, but we should all be adults here)
Don't simply state that something is better in one way or another. Back it up, ideally with sources and video
Don't make a post in an attempt to make a particular program seem superior. Most of the time it's very application specific use case that makes things faster/better
Upload a text tutorial along with a video explanation if that is possible. Some videos are great, but text can be followed simply.
Do not attempt to shame someone for using other software (see rule 1)
Do not bring up how Resolve is better in a lot of aspects. We know that, and understand that. However, in many use cases Resolve simply will not run or compile.
With all of that being said - welcome to the Linux Video Editing community! The goal here is to help each other with tips, tricks,
Seems like the developer is back with a video update on the program's development.
Some points I understood:
The developer made some rethinking of the whole project
The node editor got a rewrite from C++ to C#, a higher level language, to make development easier (I think the filters themselves are in lower level language, it just affectst the node editor).
With the rise of godot and video editors becoming 2D/3D pipelines, the developer based the rendering engine on godot.
The developer wants to make the editor modular and easy to extend.
The developer says that the following months will try to work on getting olive to a stable release:)
I want to translate a video (manually) and subtitle it. I understand how caption files work and can do it by hand, but as I've never done it, it seems daunting with a lot of room for error.
I'm wondering if there is a tool to help with this, or just ask, if anyone has any experience with creating captions and what the best practices are.
Note: I do not want to embed the subtitles into the video, I just want a separate file, either .vtt or .srt
We record a lot of family videos, especially when we travel or when the children have some event, etc. Especially the travel videos are then everything my wife records on her iPhone, everything I record on my Samsung phone and the bulk of the videos are what I record with my Sony A7C. I then get everything into one directory but then all the files have different naming conventions, so it's a bit difficult to organize into a timeline. I think all of the files have their date/time baked in into the files so it theoretically should be at least possible to rename them to be able to sort them.
But then the real work starts, going through every single clip and trimming it and putting it in order into the timeline. So I wonder if there is some tool which can help with that.
For general camera wobble it corrects nicely, though if the shaking is moderate the correction leads to some nauseating wiggling effect in the resulting file. I'm still looking for a way to fix that.
Here's the current shell script I use on the footage:
