Open Shot?

[foxleybob]

I'd like to know what you guys think of the open shot editor,please?

[davexnet]

According to reports, it made some big UI changes and improvements at version 3.2,
I've seen some good comments about it.
(But I haven't looked at it)

The other editor mentioned often in the forum is Shotcut. Easy to get going for beginners

[foxleybob]

Thanks again for that Dave.
I've decided to use "Open Shot" for now until I can get to Kdenlive.
Only because I took a long time researching Free editors, and KDL seemed to be the one recommended (for beginers like me too )
I will have a look at shotcut though.
Cheers.
Bob

Openshot has also improved their UI. Let us know how it goes

I will, once I've got my head around it

[foxleybob]

Right I'm on v2 and there's now V3.
Couldn't find anywhere to update it, so had to uninstall and install it again. A Bit of a bind having to do this every time there's an update.

Isn't that the free NLE that insist you be online to install and use it?

I refuse.

[foxleybob]

Sorry, I do not know what NLE is, but Openshot is free
OK, just googled and it means non-liner editing. and yes I believe Openshot IS a non-Linear editor

[foxleybob]

So, lordsmurf.
What's the drawback with that, please?

[foxleybob]

Anyone?
Just want to understand.

[davexnet]

Do you have a question? An observation?

[foxleybob]

Would like to know why web-based software is a no-no?
As lordsmurf implied.

as I was originally looking at Kdenlive, I found this,, but being old and a dummy, I couldn't get my head around it......

I don't think he means that at all. Openshot is not web-based, it runs on the PC.

I think he's saying they'll probably be collecting telemetry from you; if you're OK
with that, carry on and use it.

If my interpretation is wrong, I'm sure lordsmurf will correct me.

[foxleybob]

I see, thanks Dave. telemetry I think I understand.
