After using this application for 3 months, I can confidently say that:
This is the most GARBAGE **** I have ever used. Seriously? Who the **** coded
this and was like, "Yep! That’s a video editor"? No… it's a **** editor. You
can’t even call it an "editor" because that’s one of the things you can’t do in
this **** app.
Like, let’s get down to basics first. When you import a video, it tries to
switch the profile so you can’t import multiple videos back-to-back. And let’s
talk about the PROFILE **** — why does it even exist? We don’t know. All you
had to do was just put a settings icon and a basic menu like “resolution, fps”
and that’s it. Also, you can’t just use any video — NoOoOo, that would be too
much — because of some “variable framerate” ******. This never exists except in
Kdenlive apparently?? So you say “fine, convert it,” and guess what? It can’t
do that either. It just fails. Like bro, just use ffmpeg internally — I just do
ffmpeg -i input.mkv input.mp4 and it works, but this is too much to handle I
guess.
And let’s talk about the timeline — why is it ****? I don’t know. But
apparently, you can’t just grab the arrow and jump around the video while it
plays. oOoOoOo Kdenlive goes “oh wait, you want me to play the video and let
you jump around in it??? That’s too much uwu.” So there’s that.
And let’s talk about snapping. Why is there nothing about snap distance? Like
it’s trying to snap the videos for a toddler. The threshold for cutting the
videos is also too high — I have to grab the video and jank it around just so I
can shorten it. And then guess what? My video cursor thing is there, so it just
snaps to that from 3 miles away… how great.
I mean, if you think I’m bad with this application — seriously, record a video
in OBS, put it in Kdenlive, render it as H.264, upload it to Discord — what do
you get? A video with static sound. Literally TV static sound. Discord bug? I
don’t care. That only happens in Kdenlive.
Let’s give another example: make a 3-hour edit, it’s all great, render the
video, and guess what? Things shifted magically on their own. So the video you
just made is now garbage. You have to go all the way back and move everything’s
position back to normal. Why do these Kdenlive timelines get haunted on their
own? I have no idea. When I put a clip, it should stay solid — but for
Kdenlive, that’s too hard, I guess.
Even another example: import videos, do the edit, save the project — and guess
what? My video clips are now different from what I made. Instead of cutting, I
just adjusted the left and right to get the correct clip out of the video. But
when I saved the project, it shifted itself to a random place in the video. If
it can’t remember the position, why add this feature? If I knew this, I
would’ve just cut the video :/ more hours lost.
Effects: they’re **** too. Like I add transform to a clip, but if you act the
wrong way or just look at the editor the wrong way, the effect just locks
itself down. It doesn’t matter if I remove/add it back. I know you can toggle
them from the timeline, BUT even that won’t work. I can’t add any effect to any
clip. The project just becomes haunted and I have to start over.
Use ANYTHING except this. Really, ANYTHING. Doesn’t matter — even the Windows
video editor is better than this. It’s also very good in performance — 13th gen
i7 and the thing just comes to a halt on a 1440p video.
