    Any program that requires OneDrive should be taken outside and shot.

    OpenShot
    ShotCut
    Davinci Resolve (free version)

    No real reason to use clipchamp...

      ShotCut is my personal favourite of those. Simple but powerful, though the UI is admittedly clunky.

      No real reason to use Winslop 11 either though.

        I wish that were true, but it’s not.

        As a UNIX Admin w/ 30+ years of UNIX admin experience, I am literally required to use Windows 11 for work.

        Yes, I have my Fedora system running XFCE for work too (it’s also my vagrant test bed), but I like millions of others am required to use winslop and it’s how work requirements go sometimes.

        Truth.

        Am still clinging to Win 10 Pro. Since I mostly game with the PC, and watch videos with that machine… do I really need to upgrade the OS as long as the games run? At least at this point, I won’t get a gaming session interrupted by an update anymore, which is nice.

      DaVinci is also a one time payment with lifetime updates if you want the premium features, no stupid subscription or rebuying when the new version releases.

      The worst part about it is that it doesn’t officially support Linux very well.

      • SomeGadgetGuy@techhub.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        @Joelk111 I've been on Resolve since 15! Never spent another dime on it.

        I only include the free version in conversations like these, because if you were gonna use something like Clipchamp, you probably didn't need all the extra features of Resolve Studio.

      Blender has a Video Editing mode UI mode too.

      Image

      I’m not sure how it compares all I do in terms of editing is typically shortening video files. So if it’s missing features people would expect, I likely wouldn’t even know

      source
      • Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Whoops that version was slightly out of date… by 5¾ years.

        But I can now confirm it’s still in there in modern versions Image

      Kdenlive too.

      I switched to kdenlive after I couldn’t get Davinci to function properly on linux

      source
  • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    My Kdenlive video editor continues to save wherever I want it to for free. Just saying.

    And yes, it has a Windows version, if you’re too much of a coward to migrate to Linux.

    • PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Kdenlive is wild. It’s got almost all the features Adobe premiere has.

    Free movie editing on windows peaked on fucking vista.

      I miss windows movie maker, it was so simple and effective. Of course thats probably why they killed it.

    In case this is something of a deal breaker for someone, please try setting up a VM and playing around with Linux. You don’t need to install it on your main system, or try dual booting it, but load up a VM and give it a shot. You don’t have to stick with it and if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work for you or it’s too confusing or whatever, that’s fine. At least you can say that you gave it a shot.

      You don’t even need Linux. Kdenlive has a Windows version.

    How long until Microsoft stops supporting Clipchamp altogether? Place your bets.

    source
  • ryper@lemmy.ca ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The program now requires video projects to be saved to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service in order to continue editing them, reports Windows Latest.

    According to Microsoft, the media files themselves (such as video clips and images) don’t necessarily need to be synced to the cloud.

    This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it’s just the project file I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are ClipChamp project files big?

      Just think of all that lovely video information for their AI to harvest…

      source
      • ryper@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        How much video information does a project file even have though? Like, if it’s just instructions for editing together the video clips, that aren’t even being uploaded, that doesn’t seem very useful for AI training.

      It is so they can have the data for AI training on their servers.
