The TRUE state of Linux video production in 2024 | Deep Dive

Do you use Linux full time? What are your thoughts?

Great to see so many companies supporting Linux.

wow, I can't believe you haven't mention OLIVE Video Editor... ti really deserves to be mentioned even though being still in beta. But is simply amazing ! I hope you seeing you making a review of it. Thanks

Thank you! I appreciate the shout out! Great overview of video production on Linux! I've used Lightworks, and stay up to date with other NLEs and media production tools, on and off Linux. It's how I manage to bring value to the community.

Hiero is a very particular tool for VFX editorial - ie lots of artists are submitting new versions of they VFX shots and you want to stay on top of that while comparing to the offline edit and original plates. It's not really for editing per se since you'd usually be importing edits from another NLE (though you can use it that way).

You probably can use a windows vm to update your cameras, if they use usb. You can do usb passthrough (in virtualbox for instance). You don't even need a windows license if you don't bother with the black background and activation water mark.

I’ve sorta fallen away from the film scene lately due to my career, but I still follow your stuff. You’re one of the best dude. And Caution Glass is an incredible company! All around you’re just killing it man.

I thought this video had thousands of views, you deserve way more

Subscribed, liked, and shared your vid! I love the quality! feels like a polished video!

Great video, very helpful, I learned a lot of new software to edit video! Currently happy with Resolve, but always nice to try and keep more options.

Great video! "Linux is great for video editing" is such a nice thing to hear and an important message to spread.

Honestly I got so used to color grading in davinci resolve I wish blackmagic could make it more friendly for still image management so that I can totally get rid of any raw photo editor.

I know this shouldn't be the answer but if you really need you can spin up a very small virtual machine to update your cameras. Vm's can be tedious to setup for more complicated things

Excellent video. I use AMD integrated graphics, and even though it's up to date, I'm still going to try to find a way around it. Lightworks looks as good as Capcut, but they failed to provide at least 1080p support in the free version. For the rest, you can adapt, because whether you like it or not, after the end of Windows 10, those who value privacy will find it impossible to move to Windows 11.

Definitely a long way from when searches for Linux editing software mostly resulted in articles talking about OpenShot, KdenLive, Cinellara, and then two dozen things that were just video trimmers, not real editors. Linux doesnt need a dozen more forks of whats already there. Especially for video editing. It just needs for whats there to continue improving. And hopefully they dont play catch-up forever to what exists on Windows.

Ty for the video

Is there a "The TRUE state of Linux Photography editing and printing in 2024 | Deep Dive" anywhere online (bonus points if the emphasis is on sports photography)? Most of the videos I've seen on DarkTable show taking three to five minutes to edit each photo and denoising is mentioned as being possible but not a lot of emphasis is given. For photographing sports, events, and bulk portraits I'm going through hundreds or even thousands of images and I typically need to bulk-apply edits (color temp, sharpness, contrast, exposure, de-noising as the sun is going down and a lot more as it turns to night/under the lights) and Lightroom makes this really easy. I'll keep looking (or maybe start my own channel?) but am curious if anyone has walked this road already and has input, suggestions, or lessons learned.

top video!

Please DaVinci package your apps as flatpaks support AMD and blow the industry away. And at the same time make boatloads of money as users switch from Windows and Mac to Linux.

What is your opinion of Flowblade as an NLE?
