If you’re working in Kdenlive, guides are your friend. As are the razor, slip, and ripple tools (take a moment to really learn them and you’ll save yourself a lot of time).Also, the alt+arrow keys for navigating between clips on the timeline and ctrl+arrow keys for navigating between guides.Finally, useful filters: Everything in Motion, Volume and Dynamics (audio fades, etc.), Alpha, Mask, Keying → Obscure (pixellate sensitive stuff).#kdenlive #nle #nonLinearEditor #video #editor #linux

PS. One thing that caught me out: the default project setting was for 1080 resolution at 25fps. Make sure you set it to 30 (or 60 if you’re a gamer, I guess) if you need to and not get caught out like I did as changing the FPS on an existing project throws out all your timings for effects, etc.#kdenlive #nle #nonLinearEditor #video #editor #linux

@aral I'm guessing it was a PAL/NTSC thing and the default preferences are Europe-centric.

Here’s a better list of what’s affected when you change the frame rate of an existing project:• Guide locations are wrong (offset by a certain amount). If there was a way to group all guides and move them together it would be a five-second fix (or if Kdenlive did this automatically so they were correct to begin with). As is, it’s a laboriuous process of moving each guide separately.• Effects like freeze lose their timecode.#kdenlive #nle #nonLinearEditor #video #editor #linux

Kdenlive is great. I worked 3 years with it to make TROM II. They have improved the stability a lot for the past few years. From my experience it is the best FOSS video editor. Recommend!

@tio Yeah, agreed. I’ve worked with them all almost (started out with Avids and Media 100s at film school, then the usual suspects Vegas, Premiere, FCP, etc.) I did try a bunch of the open source ones but ended up using Lightworks earlier – which is excellent – but it’s overkill for what I’m doing. So, yeah, Kdenlive is great :)

@aral Oh, yeah. The overflowing list of effects with no indication of which ones are basic utils. It's confusing when getting started. The folders you mentioned are 💪.

@trevorflowers You can also add the ones you like to your favourites (the star button) but they’re not prefixed by group so it can get confusing as some have the same name (eg. Video fade in and Audio fade in both appear as fade in.)
