#shotcut — Public Fediverse posts

@mntmn i have to buy a #laptop. i have to make money with my work :( want do this with #floss design. My question is, has the #mntreform or next enough power? I use programs like #gimp, webdesign, #blender, videoediting #kdenlive (no cinema, but social media & peertube). My #thinkPad yoga 260 makes errors by video cutting in #shotcut bc is to weak i think

It should upgreadable, repairable & have free #bootloader. Last point why no #framework

Or is an old upgraded thinkpad for my case enough?

@lordmatt

The #Kdenlive version on #apt is actually very outdated. Like two versions behind iirc.

Try installing from #Flathub or downloading the #Appimage from their official site before giving up on them completely.

I'm actually in the process of finishing up a 27-minute short film with 10bit log footage. It was edited in Kdenlive and I had no issues. :)

If it doesn't work out, there are a lot of great ones like #Shotcut and #Flowblade But I personally think Kdenlive is the best!

🎮 Nuevo video en PeerTube: Misión Parasitismo 5/5 en Marathon (Xbox)

Pero hay algo más: para este video aprendí a editar video, mezclar música y grabar mi voz usando Shotcut en mi portátil con Pop!_OS. Fue todo un reto técnico. 🖥️

Comment on this video (which us not shown on my Fedi instance, yay federation!)

https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/63cGWTvhzqu2bwMGsh3QcF

I cannot believe that that GPU is not usable for video work. That is what GPUs are made for!

Poorly, there are a few caveats:
- there are always more DEcoders supported than ENcoders. I guess not being able to play a video (it would play but be less efficiently decoded on the CPU) is worse than being bound to #h265 instead of #av1 for recording.
- thus it makes sense that GPUs generally work flawlessly for gaming, as that is just displaying videos (or rendering content, which is kinda different, no idea why video codecs are more difficult than rendering methods)
- for every video format out there exists an encoder. If you use software rendering (on the CPU), you can use ANYTHING. Like encode to modern (and free!) AV1 using #svtav1 on any old CPU.
- if you want to encode videos on a GPU, you need drivers, but also a different encoder. On #NVIDIA you use #NVENC (NVidia ENCoder), for example nvenc_x265 for h265/HEVC videos. On #IntelArc (and afaik AMD GPUs), you use the #QSV (quick sync video) library which builds on top of #VAAPI, which is open source. So you can encode to AV1 using qsv_av1 for example.

What encoders are supported depends on the GPU a lot. Intel Arc seems to have supported the free, efficient and future-proof AV1 codec the earliest, but also the older free codecs VP9 and VP8 (also used in webm), like in a GPU I recently bought used. My older NVIDIA GPU only supports H265, which is proprietary and often less efficient than AV1 (not always, video codecs are black magic).

As OBS can use your GPU for video capture (encoding), the issue is purely in software support.

I only have experience with #ffmpeg for re-encoding videos, but that is also in many video editing tools. Try if you can get them somehow.

For NVIDIA I needed the latest proprietary drivers (#NixOS makes this extremely easy, can recommend) and ffmpeg, nvenc worked out of the box.

For intel Arc I used the regular drivers included in the kernel, but after adding the QSV runtime to my "hardware.graphics.extraPackages" I needed to recompile the entire kernel. Using a #longterm kernel (currently 6.18) makes this more viable... longterm XD.

Llevo un par de meses editando con #kdenlive, y la verdad, me ha sorprendido.

Va muy fluido, no crashea, y me ha permitido aumentar mi productividad editando mis videos y cursos.

Como buen usuario de #shotcut, le he cambiado algunos shortcuts para que el cambio sea más fluido, y por el momento, ninguna queja 🙂

Made a new recording yesterday of #Rautavaara's O ihr Zärtlichen, for an audition. Trying out my recording gear, I used #Ardour as my DAW for recording and mixing, and #Shotcut for editing the video.

Turned out quite well, I must say, though I do want to move a bit more, next time 🙈 You live and you learn...

HandBrake

В связи с вопросом второй раз поставил HandBrake (из репозитория версия 1.8.1). Первый раз ставил HB для посмотреть, ещё больше понравилось в этот раз. После опыта с ffmpeg в консоли, когда уже есть некоторое представление результа и влияние применённых параметров на выходной результат, настройки и установки аудио/видео в HB не выглядят такими замороченными.

Изначально записал кусок фильма на 332 МБ, подрезал в Shotcut, импорт в 720p (вес выходного файла уже 94 МБ). Далее пережал через HB в h265 до 58 МБ, длится кусок 3 минуты. В процессе используется процесс ghb (не знаю такой библиотеки, это что-то своё, судя по названию — graphic handbrake). После смены звукового кодека на Vorbis вместо дефолтного AAC вес файла уменьшился до 44 МБ.

Минусы HB

1. Не все подсказки переведены, есть с ошибками пунктуации;
2. Звуковой кодек получилось выбрать нужны (#vorbis) со второго раза (это пройдёт, как привынешь и разберёшься)

Плюсы HB

1. GUI, русифицировано, есть всплывающие подсказки, разобраться и привыкнуть нужно;
2. Судя по выходному кодеку #HEVC автоматом использовалось аппаратное ускорение nVidia, чего не отражено в настройках;
3. При кодировании процесс ghb грузит ЦП на 40-50 %, есть cli версия в репах.

Есть два DVD, один уже перекодировал в .mp4 через VLC, эти не получилось (видимо, от записи защита). В HB можно по одному трэку вытягивать, но не все, что тоже не плохо. В общем, рекомендасьён, как блогер одна говорит. Буду теперь использовать. Изначально сам был такого мнения, что с GUI нужно разбираться и изучить его, но и синтаксис ffmpeg в консоли, возможные ключи/параметры и их правильное написание тоже требуют времени, учидчивости и некоторого умственного напряжения. 😈

Linux App Release Roundup (March 2025)

March was another stellar month for Linux software updates, with big improvements to essential privacy tools like KeePassXC, creative apps such as Shotcut and DigiKam, and many more — updates that didn’t warrant dedicated articles on this blog. Why? Well, sometimes it’s an update making small changes hat it’s hard to say much1 about. Other times I’m just deathly late to hearing about it (which is why new tips via the contact form are super appreciated – you help me catch the things I miss). For those of us on fixed-release Linux distributions like Ubuntu, even small app updates can :sys_more_orange:

@textovervideo
I just went to the corporate product home page.
https://contourdesign.com/products/shuttle-pro-v2
but I dont see where they support standard operating systems like #linux, in any flavor and they say nothing about shotcut.

The corporation only mentions 2 proprietary OSes and only a few versions of each.

Can anyone verify that it works with linux ubuntu 24.*?

100$ is a lot to risk.

When will the corp support #linux or any other #FLOSS OS?

@freehive Thank you. I think what #freesoftware creative apps/projects lack most for wider user adoption is professionally designed templates (except #Blender and #Inkscape). Feel free to sell them like those on #Envato, #Themeforest, #CreativeMarket, #BlenderMarketplace, etc.

This is the #LightWorks video editor on Linux. It's not open source, but if #Kdenlive or #Shotcut doesn't work for you, you might wanna give it a go. The free version is limited to exporting 720p only. Which might be enough if you're exporting for #PeerTube, where bandwidth is expensive.
