i thought this question could fit here as this is a community about open source software after all, anyways… i was gonna do editing for the first time and wanted to use something that’s free and open source, i was considering either shotcut or kdenlive but i wanted to at least hear the community’s opinion about it, i’ll be waiting for the replies. thanks
I’d add it’s usefull to know that in case of poor performance you can still lower the preview resolution or use something called proxies, to continue editing, not always ideal but it does the job. Performance also depends on your hardware, even without hardware acceleration, so the more horse power the crazier you can go with effects. Kdenlive also greatly improved (in my experience at least) regarding performances, even though hardware acceleration would still be a must.
