@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social This post reads funnier with the implication that it's a threat from KDE.

I have been searching for good alternatives to AE and Premiere for a while now. I have messed with DaVinci a few times, but always bounced off. Any suggestions. Bonus points if anyone can point me in the direction of a Lightroom alternative.

For video editing, Kdenlive is the best alternative I found so far, although it takes some time to get used to. For something AE related, check out Blender. It might be a bit overkill for most projects, but it is very powerful. As a lightroom alternative there's Darktable. All of the mentioned software also has the advantage of being free and open source.

I am super impressed by Blender, but there's not really a substitute for After Effects yet, open source or otherwise.

there’s not really a substitute for After Effects yet,

Have you tried Natron? This software still needs some serious love, but maybe you can appreciate its potential as tool for people used to AE.

YouTube would be smart enough not to advertise Adobe creative cloud in the pre-roll ads of this video, right? Right???

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well it appears as though #youtube has now become a "gated community" the #YT frontends are not working. It prompts a login to prove you're not a bot:(

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Bro, even YOU guys are suggesting GIMP, meanwhile most people try to use Krita as an image editor cuz of the UI and other issues i can't fully understand.

Is like using a Lawnmower to cut wood.

Edit: I need to clarify that i'm saying that people are using the WRONG TOOL for the job, i'm not saying either of these programs suck.

Synfig Studio is a powerful tool for creating film-quality animation using vector and bitmap artwork.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Glaxnimate really needs some love, though it's pretty powerful.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 2 points 5 months ago

By comparison Inkscape was made assuming the user knows what they’re doing, very intuitive. Illustrator has so much handholding that its like it was designed assuming you do not know what you are doing. I’ve ready made several thousand using only Inkscape professionally. Illustrator is not needed.

@kde Don't forget about Darktable for advanced photo editing. :)
