The control panel and some of the icons now look different, and a few buttons have been moved. Movavi updated the interface to make it even elegant and more intuitive to use. Like, way easier.Download Movavi Video Editor Movavi Video Editor 2020 Updates Design & Navigation In kdenlive you can't batch export all your clips like that to my knowledge.Īlso text is way easier in Movavi. Honestly, if Movavi had the clip feature from kdenlive or kdenlive had the easy method of split screens, than we'd have an all around winner.Īctually, if you get Movavi, you can use the free 'shotcut' to do the clip monitor thing, then export all your clips out, automatically labeled in order and then use them in Movavi, that's the best of both worlds approach IMO.

However, if you want to set up split screens and PIP videos Movavi is way better no question. In Movavi, you can't so you have to pull in the whole on the timeline and put it at the top, but then it starts blocking the other elements that you'll also need to see. I use both and I would say it depends on what you are doing.įrom the outset kdenlive is better because you can monitor the clip separately from the timeline and use the shortcuts 'I' and 'o' to find the parts you want and then drag them in. It used to be that the big reason to use Premiere or Final Cut was that there weren't tutorials out for any other tool, but the kdenlive community has absolutely closed that gap. It was fairly easy to pick up as someone with prior experiences with NLEs, it's been super stable, it's incredibly feature rich, but mostly what's impressed me is how clear and thorough the documentation is, both in terms of the written manual and the tutorials put out by the kdenlive team and random users. Fast forward a decade, I haven't edited videos for six years, and I see that Cinelerra has fractured itself to death, so I begrudgingly install the kdenlive flatpack.Īnd my response was: good lord when did kdenlive get good? I first tried it back in 2010, and it was so buggy, confusing and hard to use, I ditched it immediately in favor of Cinelerra and didn't look back. Optimistic of you to hope for an impartial answer im r/kdenlive, but let me give my perspective as someone who hated kdenlive for years. The trade off is that, because it's a real editor, you can do five thousand more things with your edit, but as mentioned, it takes a whole lot more time and learning to do so. It's not a copy and paste deal like Movavi and others try to be. Can you get those effects in Kdenlive.absolutely. Kdenlive is an old-fashioned video editor. It's quick it's fast and it gets the job done, even if the end result just looks generically like every other video in existence.but that's what corporate trend following is all about)

I work with multimedia for my work often and for youtube videos, etc. They're just glorified snapchat filters.ĭon't get me wrong, those kind of editor have their place. They optimize and largely automate most of those things, but offer little else beyond that feature wise and are (IMO) not actually true video editors at all. Movavi seems to me to be one of a new breed of so-called video editors They're cloud based, stripped down and optimized for the (many many) people who want little more than to add cool tik-tok effects and fancy zooms to their videos. I hope someone could answer my question(s) :) Sorry for the long message, but thanks for reading until here. My question is, would this Movavi bundle be worth it for me? Does Movavi have most of the features Kdenlive has too, and is it convenient and user-friendly?

Kdenlive I know works good, but looks a but overwhelming when coming back, and it takes some time to edit a video in a good way.

I haven’t made any new video lately, but I want to get back into it. Now just a few days ago I saw the Humble Bundle bundle with all kinds of Movavi programs, including Movavi Video Editor 2020. I remember it looking a bit “complex”, but ut was pretty convenient to use after I’d watched a tutorial on youtube. So then I switched to Kdenlive, which I used to edit 1 or 2 videos by now. For the first few video’s I used Openshot, but it got very laggy once I tried to insert more advanced things, like moving titles/text. It’s mostly because I want to improve my “editing skills”. Hello, a while ago I started a youtube channel and sometimes I edit a (short) video that I upload on there.
