@elena I've poked a little at Kdenlive on Linux myself and I was able to at least figure out the basics; I can't speak for any particularly advanced functionality, but if I could do that, then surely someone who is actually in the field and familiar with the terminology can use it to do Real Stuff!
Bonjour Fedi friends!
I haven't been posting about #selfhosting lately because my entire life has been taken over by filmmaking – creating a promo video for the #Fediverse with the amazing @samaaberg and @TheLifeofTarzan
I miss Terminal, Linux commands and installing / updating things... but I am on a new learning journey. After nearly a decade of editing in Adobe Premiere, I am now moving to #DaVinciResolve. At this point Adobe's prices are extortionate... I will have to do motion graphics in AfterEffects but I won't be paying for multiple Creative Cloud apps.
The learning curve for DaVinci Resolve is a little steeper than expected but I'm having a lot of fun.
And yes, yes, I know, at some point I will try the #FOSS video editing software https://kdenlive.org. On my to do list for the summer!
I hope you're having a lovely day

Great little video on a film-making master, Steven Soderbergh, who makes even the "little* scenes fantastic, because every shot is planned and builds on the story he wants to tell.
I will be doing an interview with @firesidefedi in about an hour and a half ( from this post ). #Livestream #Owncast link:

Hollywood accounting is so rigged that ‘Return of the Jedi’ never made a profit on paper. Yep, one of the biggest movies ever. Drop ‘SHOW ME’ in the comments & I’ll break it down.

If you need high quality #SoundEffects to enhance your #Media #Creations, get in touch. My microphone is never far away and always happy to be of service. Here's a #FieldRecording compilation showing the kind of SFX I already have ready to go.
I'd love to help so get in touch.
Taking my first dip into the @kdenlive pool. I'll still need Resolve for specific things related to my paid work but whenever I can, I'll support something free and community maintained. Loving it so far and impressed with how feature packed it is.
Drone shots have made the need for a crane to do crane shots obsolete.
I'm a #filmmaker. My primary weapon of choice is the #fisherprice #pxl2000. For the uninitiated, it was made in 1987 by none other than Fisher Price and it is a VIDEO camera that records onto AUDIO Cassette Tape. You read that right. I have a website: https://pxl2k.com that I have made that details repair instructions, provides replacement and aftermarket parts, and serves as the archive for all things PXL.

Why John Wilson can’t stop filming
I love this little profile of John Wilson. His work reminds me a little of that of Jonas Mekas.

I remember sitting at the entrance to a local cinema near me, shivering from a new kind of depression. I was waiting to enter the screening of Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in cinema just after The Fabelmans. The previous film I have seen in that very cinema, may...

Filmmaking is 80% problem-solving, 20% creativity. Sounds a lot like entrepreneurship, to me. What’s the biggest disaster you’ve had on set?
I've recorded a new video!
Go behind the scenes of how me and my team shot a narrative promotional video for one of our clients, which we displayed on XR glasses at a major industry event in London.
