Just found out about this guy on YouTube named Nuxttux because I’ve been trying to make some social media videos.
Kdenlive is a completely different beast than the one that I remember using a couple of years ago. It has so much functionality in it, like all the “TikTok effects”, proxy clips, rendering previews, visualizing effect curves between keyframes… like damn. This is actually legit software now for my basic needs.
The thing is, it seems like these were all added in the past 2 years, because I had 23.x installed through the Debian repo and I upgraded through Flatpak to 24.12 and it seems to have added all of these?
Anyway holy shit. Go give these guys some money. This is game changing
I thought for sure the free version of DR was still a fully-featured suite and didn’t paywall anything ala Adobe, and what you got with the paid version was an actual upgrade over an already pretty powerful app.
Not since 19 for dctl, reactor (which added hella of the festures free missed for free through an open source addon library) etc. got paywalled, 20 adds ai magicmask and subtitles also paywalled, like free is going to slowly lose features while not gaining new ones it seems
That sucks, how long before DR goes full Adobe and starts moving to a subscription model? And how long before Blackmagic paywalls some features on their cine cams like Canon started doing on their still cams?
I see a price increase more likely in the future, maybe to boost sales by announcing it in advance
