>Olive is making rapid progress and users are already producing videos with it, but it's still currently in alpha meaning it is incomplete and not fully stable.

A free editor without a watermark I have been using (Mostly shitposting) for the past 1.5 years is olive. It has no watermark, the UI had a very good layout, video playback is smooth, and unlike premiere pro, it doesn’t feel crammed. Here’s the link to it: https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/
I think olive video editor is (going to be) a good open source video editor. Unfortunately it is a alpha release. So some features are still missing. But I try to use it for all my projects.
Check it out: https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/
It is and is relatively simple to use as well. Shotcut or OpenShot... one of those but I always forget which!
The main reason I suggested the one I did is I think it is likely to be one of the easiest to use for someone that has never used this type of software. Movavi though not free is slightly more difficult and yet also very easy to get going quickly.
I think it is Olive that was looking really promising in the last few years but I think it isn't yet ready for Prime Time just yet.
In case you don't know of it and want to know more...
Most often people recommend Kdenlive in these threads. It is not a good choice. It is unstable, will crash and render your videos wrong. Same goes for Shotcut, Openshot and others. I've used these editors and experienced problems.
YouTuber Unfa who actually used Kdenlive and Blender a lot recommended maybe a year ago a new free software editor, Olive. It should be easy and stable to use for simple video editing. Give it a try! https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/
Just to throw my 2 cents into the mix.
Shadowplay or OBS for recording gameplay have been my go tos.
For editing, I have used Hitfilm Express, which has been pretty good, and is free. But I am now using Olive, which has been much quicker and easier to use for the short clips I have made. Worth checking them both out and seeing if you get one well with one over the other.
If someone is, then for beginners if suggest using olive, it's pretty good, free with no water marks

If you get stuck somewhere or can't figure out how to do something, just search youtube for it
there is some problems with both Kdenlive and Shotcut, so im using Olive 0.1 that also is free https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/download.php
Olive 0.2 is in developing and are node based, just harder to use.
if you want free programs like Kdenlive, Shotcut, Olive ... make sure those are free opensource projects, this means you do not need to pay to use them
I know a great free editor without a watermark. It’s called Olive and I use it pretty much everywhere. It’s a great alternative to premiere pro, the interface is far easier to navigate and it has a lot of features. No watermark, no free trial, no money required
https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/nightly.php
Nightly builds for version 0.2 are being released regularly which is why I am asking about this specific feature and when/if it will be included in the 0.2 builds.
The download on the website is up to date, I should have checked, the download link on the website is right to it, but heres the link regardless

one of the best editor ive used, it might be confusing at first but its quite similar to obs, basically just a little worse and less complicated but for FREE
Olive Editor should do the trick.
After putting the image in the timeline, click on the image and go to the Effects menu. Go down to the "Scale" setting and the "Rotation" setting. There should be an On/Off button on the side. If you click it, it enables the Keyframing options from which you can automatically scale up the image and rotate.
Sadly the only way is to compile it yourself. Depending on your OS extract the archive (zip for windows and tar.gz for linux) and than compile it. This is significantly easier for linux. Here is how to do it: https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/compile.php
I know it might not be comparable to davinci resolve yet and I am not a professional content creator by any means, but did you have a look at Olive as well? I only do very "simple" stuff usually but olive felt very good to me and I replaced kdenlive with it already.
I had the same problem on Linux debian, even my audio was not working, and that because you may need to install a multimedia module which are not installed by default.
I find some useful command on this page: https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/compile.php
Just to be clear, i installed at first the essential build environment and then i installed the Qt5 modules ...
Hope it can help you
This was my suspicion, but I wanted a confirmation. 🤔 The footage is from a GoPro hero5 session. The block/glitch thing it's just a video effect from the editing software (incidentally, it's olive-editor available at https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/ free and open source editing software)
Just in case anyone's wondering, one of the software quickly mentioned in the video is Olive, a free an open source video editor.
They mentioned its "promising and need a little more work", but I disagree with the general negative sentiment and vibe they give off talking about this video editor. Olive is honestly almost all you can ask for, it has a premiere pro like interface, performs like a champ, has never crashed on me, can take any video resolution you like if your pc can handle it, it has layers, basic video effects like black and white and the retro VHS look, color correction, you can crop videos, do multi cam videos, do basic masking, zoom in and out on a video, green screen, multiple audio sources at once, runs on linux AND windows + mac.
And its free and open source, meaning the some community members are creating community video effects, and the program is free of charge. In my opinion it's kind of a steal to go with premiere pro when alternatives like olive exist.
Yes, premiere has features olive does not, like motion tracking and 4+ point masking and those obnoxious youtuber swirl transition, but IMO a plain cut or a simple effect will do the trick. Oh yeah, and did I mention it's free, so yeah if you make basic videos for school, as a hobby, or as an new content creator instead of paying $50 per month to adobe to get premiere (that let's face it you will only do cuts with the razor tool and zoom in a face for emphasis every once in a while) and Photoshop for thumbnails...OR just pay zero (as in nada!) get olive + gimp +audacity and you got yourself a workflow for making videos and extra $50 monthly in your pocket that you can invest on a better camera or a condenser microphone.
Che meraviglia di software è Olive Video Editor.
Semplice, potente e open source.
Dovevo fare un mini montaggio video ed in 5 minuti son riuscito a fare un video con tanto di PiP, transizioni, clip che si muovono nello schermo e ruotano.
5 cazzo di minuti!
Hi naokomiyano. I would suggest Olive Video Editor. It's Open Source, meaning its free, and quite powerfull. I did test it, and since I edit mostly HD up to 4K video, it did perform perfectly. Here is the link: https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/
You are right!
I wish they would just add that one feature to the free version. Hardware acceleration would make me want to use this program more. I don't want to spend hours working on transcoding just so I can edit when my deadlines can be tight. If it had hardware acceleration and I got hooked on the software, I would probably spend the $300.
As of now, my main editor has been Olive (https://www.olivevideoeditor.org)
It's alpha software and lacks features, as it's a newcomer to the FOSS community...but it destroys everything else I have used on Windows & Linux performance wise. It's wrote from the ground up to be hardware accelerated. It performs well even on my fairly modest system (i7 7700HQ, GTX 1050 4GB, 16GB RAM).
People feel that the newish Olive video editor is promising -- apt install olive-editor -- and there are some others, depending on one's needs, like Shotcut.
> DaVinci Resolve (which only officially supports CentOS and doesn't have h264 support in the free Linux version).
It also has well-established community automation to install it on <code>.deb</code>-based distributions, ffmpeg to convert the output, and the "pro" version is cheap at $295 or free with a Blackmagic camera. I'm not saying there aren't downsides, but there's a reason Resolve has gotten such a lot of attention in Linux circles in the last couple of years. That used to be a pro colorist package costing well into the five figures and requiring a special dial-box and audio hardware on Linux, and here it's being given away for free with the special sauce features intact.
I decided to reduce the ping in my Vortex Race 3 so I bought the Keebwerk. Mute.Insert. But this wasn't the end.
I can't really say the ping is gone with the Mute.Insert, but reduced. I am using the small standoff feet. So I guess without these it would be less.
But what really bugged me throughout the time was the unbearable stabilizer rattle noise more or less ruining the effect of the silent switches.
So after some investigation it turned out these stabs - look like Cool Jazz ones - do actually have quite an open housing construction which doesn't cover the wire holes. In the video I tried to describe where I applied the grease externally without any desoldering and the result is definitely audible. Definitely happy how this turned out.
It should be noted that the last sound test is with the Mute.Insert and the original plastic sheet below in the case. Even without the sheet the PCB was already pressed against the Mute.Insert, so there was no room between case and PCB left. With the original plastic in addition this is even tighter but re-assembly is still fine. One just needs to push down the plate a bit while tightening the screws.
In the end the Mute.Insert and plastic sheet give the board some kind of resistance - or put differently - less flex while typing and I really like it. I'd dare to say there's also a little more "thockiness".

I've started using Olive recently, it's open source and despite being in an alpha release, its super stable and much faster than Kdenlive (when I last used it).
Blackmagic Davinci Resolve is closed-source colorizing and video editing package for Linux. The free version lacks some H.264 support, but videos can be transcoded with ffmpeg. The pro version costs $250 or comes with Blackmagic cameras.
There's also Lightworks, which is closed-source.
On the open-source side, Kdenlive is relatively well regarded, Olive is a new competitor, Shotcut has been around for a while, etc.
I've primarily used Olive. It is in alpha but I've edited and published over 60 videos with it with minimal problems. I've only used it on Linux though, I don't know if it's more or less stable on other platforms.
Edit 8K60 videos on your 3950x. My 3900x was consumed nearly 100% and my Ram nearly 100% while exporting 8K60 H.265 video using Olive Video Editor. https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/
iirc Olive Video Editor is pretty lightweight. I like and use it, though it does have some bugs that are solved by saving, closing, and reopening Olive. Its free, so it can't hurt to try it. Here's a link https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/

Well. A free video editor is olive. The only real way is to do it manually. https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/ https://www.gimp.org/
Step 1 Download gimp and Olive, both are free. Step 2 Open gimp and create the subtitles as an image that has transparency. (Youtube tutorials will make that easy.)
Step 3 Open olive and import the images and videos
Step 4, place video on the timeline then the pictures
Step 5, adjust how long each set of subtitles will be showen.
Step 6, export as a mp4 with a quality factor of 15.
Done.
Alternatively you can upload the original video to youtube, use youtubes captions editor then rerecord it. Or if the teacher allows YouTube submissions just leave it as is.
I second for trying resolve. There are other option now as well. You may want to try out
Light works, Hit films pro Olive (premiere like open source tool) https://www.olivevideoeditor.org
Open shot Shotcut Filmora Kdenlive
There are a bunch of free options now.
Resolve is the most feature packed. Olive looks like the one that is trying to be the free version of premiere.
Damn, so close.
That's a shame. Sorry to hear it didn't work out.
For the future perhaps, the kdenlive devs have been working on a major refactor for a while time, so when that's stable it might be another option for you. It's expected in April this year.
I don't use these myself, but other options could be this extension for Blender: https://www.gdquest.com/blender/power-sequencer/
...or later on when development is further along the new Olive editor https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/
