I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how.
Show content

The commenters often tell me I must be using a Mac or a Windows PC for video editing. Nope! I use three important pieces of free and open source software in order to make these videos, and luckily for me they work great on Linux!

🎞️ Kdenlive for video editing: https://kdenlive.org/ 📹 OBS for footage capture: https://obsproject.com 🖌️ Inkscape for thumbnails: https://inkscape.org/

Lastly, these unsponsored videos are only possible thanks to supporters like you. $2/mo USD gets you access to a Discord/Matrix where I hang out every day with cool people.

@vkc Nice pedalboard! Thanks for great video. I'm also using Kdenlive and I'm perfectly happy about it.

I am very thankful for these open-source tools as well. For my lectures and other editing, I even use the trick to render the initial combination of video, sound, and screen by Kdenlive into a raw mp4 file and then use VLC https://www.videolan.org/vlc, which is much more performant in fast searching and playback even at peed 15x. Till the speed 3.5x, it allows even to check for audio problems. Then, I use the times of the required corrections and cuts in the Kdenlive. As for the recording, I combine multiple computers running OBS, one for the camera and the other for the screen, where I usually present with BigBlueButton https://bigbluebutton.org/, which is great for making notices and drawings into PDF and other format presentations. It allows even live online access for students, which has been crucial during COVID. I use a Wacom ONE tablet https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-displays/wacom-one for annotations and drawings.
The results are available, for example, on https://vhsky.cz/c/ctucomparch/videos and the Czech Technical University in Prague YouTube channel.
