β€ͺ@VeronicaExplains‬ made a great video that covers kdenlive, too! β€’ I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how.

all footage incl. pixel animations is mine.

I came from Sony Vegas to kdenlive. I am absolutely thrilled to have broken away from Windows and joined the Linux bandwagon but I'm not going to pretend kdenlive is a better video editor. It's the best I've found and good enough for my use case but I miss Sony's UI. I could say the same about GIMP vs Photoshop.

All that said, it's still totally worth the switch and I have zero regrets. I'd rather relearn some things than bend over for the corporations that seek to exploit us.

    Photopea is a good alternative to Photoshop when you need automatic subject selecting and other powerful features. They have a very similar UI, but it's not FOSS and they want you to see ads or pay to use features repeatedly. Nonetheless, it is the best I have found for my use cases.

    It isn't open source, but DaVinci Resolve is available for Linux. With limited features if you don't pay. Might be overkill for what you do, and I understand it can be finicky to get it working (needs nvidia, poor support for AMD, very limited format support unless you get the paied version, ...).

    I don't really do video stuff, but I did play around with it a few years ago, and it seemed very comprehensive.
