Hello all. Sorry there hasn't been any activity here I kind of forgot about this place but I do appreciate your patience nonetheless.

Which do you prefer and why?

Whenever I start to edit something on flowblade, the pitch increases. All I'm doing is adding something to a separate audio track

I was wondering if you could tell me what'd be the best Free & Open Source tool for Linux.

This platform is broken.

Users don't read articles, organizations have been astroturfing relentlessly, there's less and less actual conversations, a lot of insults, and those damn power-tripping moderators.

We the redditors have gotten all up and arms at various times, with various issues, mainly regarding censorship. In the end, we've not done much really. We like to complain, and then we see a kitten being a bro or something like that, and we forget. Meanwhile, this place is just another brand of Facebook.

I'm taking back whatever I can, farewell to those who've made me want to stay.

I come from a primarily video editing FCPx/Adobe Premiere CS6 setup and have moved completely to Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora/Puppy), but I'm looking to buy a newish computer, not build one. Any brands that are good value and have a good range of RAM,etc, but will work best with our software? Kdenlive/Audacity/Shotwell/Krita/Gimp/DramaQueen

Not really a Linux specific question, but this seemed like a decent place to ask. Googling is proving surprisingly challenging. Intel has a project called Open Image DeNoise, which sounds just about perfect, but it's specifically for the noise in raytraced images, and it takes AOV passes as an input to understand the scene geometry. There are apparently some state of the art things on GitHub, that are implemented in Matlab and involve absurdly complicated GPU accelerated neural nets that have a ton of dependencies and are impractical to actually try. (It's nice that the matlab scripts are open sourced, but Matlab itself is needed to run them and it's not open, etc.)

So what are folks actually using and liking from a practical perspective for good denoise/degrain of non-CG? Anybody actually using some of the gee-whiz state of the art stuff, and is it worth it vs. some old ffmpeg filter or whatever?

Both are 19.08.2. But when I try to render the file in the Fedora version it says it "crashed" (not kdenlive...the renderer. Maybe MLT?). When I run it on the commandline the only error I get is:

Skipped method "slotGotProgressInfo" : Type not registered with QtDBus in parameter list: MessageType
Unsupported return type 65 QPixmap in method "grab"
Unsupported return type 65 QPixmap in method "grab"

When I run appimage, it renders. Since they're both the same version....I'm not sure what it could be? Although, I did see this at the beginning now that I checked again:

(gst-plugin-scanner:1288847): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 08:24:14.814: cannot register existing type 'GstQtQuick2VideoSink'
(gst-plugin-scanner:1288847): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 08:24:14.815: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed
(gst-plugin-scanner:1288847): GLib-CRITICAL **: 08:24:14.815: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed
(gst-plugin-scanner:1288847): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 08:24:14.815: gst_element_register: assertion 'g_type_is_a (type, GST_TYPE_ELEMENT)' failed

Anyone have any ideas?

Recently, I got interested in video production. I would like to make a short video where a piece of text appears on an image.

Something similar to:

https://biteable.com/static-assets/marketing/promo-hub.mp4

I would like to learn to do:

• Zooms, Text animations etc.

It seems all I need is background image + text as input. Then I run the script with these parameters and get the video out. Is it doable in FFmpeg? Or do I need to resort to MLT etc.?

I tried to follow the instruction at https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Settings_Menu/Configure_Kdenlive#Jog_Shuttle , but I don't have the button options there. So I wonder if it's from an older version of kdenlive and the instructions are different now?

Hello, I have the desire to learn how to color videos.

My operating system is Ubuntu, so I usually use tools like FFmpeg, KdenLive and Openshot.

I searched Google about it and didn't find many things.

Coloring photos is easier, but there are no tutorials on how to colorize black and white videos.
