Yes.

There are a couple of limitations in the number of filters/effects you can use. And on Linux, the free version won’t edit MP4 natively. But the reality is you shouldn’t be editing on MP4s anyway. It’s a dreadfully inefficient format for doing actual editing as far as scrubbing through the timeline, etc… MP4 is a final product format. For editing you should be transcoding your clips into something like Apple Pro-res or DNxHD.

I mean “welcome” in the most generic, passive aggressive Canadian sense of the word. Shutting the door is exactly what the strength of federated/defederated social media is all about.

They’re welcome to it.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the entire benefit of lemmy/piefed/etc… They can have their space, and any other instance can choose not to federate with them so we aren’t forced to listen to them, unlike the alternative, where an algorithm forces them into everyone’s face.

Rather than telling them they don’t have the right to speak, we simply have the ability to shut our window and not listen to them.

Let them bitch at each other.

Should have asked if Jesus had his night rating classification.

As far as “professional” goes, Kdenlive is miles and miles ahead of other FOSS programs. It’s the only one with the feature set and the development commitment to come within shouting distance of it’s proprietary competitors. It’s not quite there, of course, but it’s the only one that gets somewhat close.

If you’re not fully militant about it having to be FOSS, Resolve is of course the GOAT on Linux.

I’ve used Kdenlive for both personal projects and professional ones and it gets the job done admirably. But I’ve gone to DaVinci resolve when I had projects that needed more complex motion graphics rather than bringing a separate FOSS app into the mix to do it (Natron or synfig depending).

Resolve’s strength is that it puts audio, motion graphics, editing and effects all in one program instead of having to use multiple programs.

America really has to do something about the epidemic of white on white crime…

hopefully I don’t need the satire tag in there.

Conservatism

Buzz it down with no-guard clippers twice a week. Sometimes shave it complely, but not often. Trim the beard when it gets itchy.

I just get disgusted with everyone who’s calling for violence left and right (metaphorically and politically).

There’s a fine line between advocating for violence, and being aware that violence is going to happen whether we want it to or not. As someone else mentioned, the Right Wingers are absolutely ready to pull the trigger and it’s naive for people on the left to think “It won’t happen to me, so why bother being ready.”

I look at this killing the way I look at Luigi; I’m not going to shed a tear for the victim. He had it coming to him and then some. And I hope the shooter never gets found because fuck Charlie Kirk.

I’m not saying there needs to be all out revolution. But actions such as this killing are good in that they make the other side realize that “yes…we are ready…and you’re not safe if you keep trying your shit”.

I’m not going to celebrate his death. But I’m not going to spare him any empathy either. He preached hate. Got hate in return. FAFO.

Their god has made them believe for centuries now that it is their place to serve their husband. Replublican men marry women who will vote how they tell her to because religiously, she’s nothing but chattel.

That’s the point.

Once a stock price is involved, you’re just another line item on a spreadsheet; something to be minimized and managed as much as possible for the sake of maximizing profit.

You’re not a human being. You’re part of a collective metric called labour. And as such, they only need you to be as smart as you need to be to use the tools required for your job. Any smarter than that and they run the risk of losing control.

Ultimately, it’s why there has always been a conservartive demonization of the Liberal Arts (Ars Liberalis) and a large push to be the “party of the average joe” who likely goes to a trade school.

So programmers are now basically the equivalent of in-shop publishing house editors, or a better analogy, a script-doctor in the hollywood production scene.

A company vibe-codes something that is cheap and shitty, then has to pay an editor to actually make it usable.

I hate this timeline…just pay the person to create the code in the first place…

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Both sides are the right side until you try to plug it in, at which point the wave collapses to reveal the reality.

Maybe. I can’t remember.

When said immigration switched from primarily being Europeans emigrating from a post WW2 Europe, and instead became primarily brown folk coming from all the countries that the U.S. itself bombed to shit.

It’s not immigration that they hate. It’s brown immigration.

Never forget that.

Maps change. It’s the only real constant throughout history. May be sooner. May be later. But eventually, even the most resolute borders change as do nation-states. You don’t have to go any further back that Yugoslavia, Serbia, etc… for example. It would be arrogance to presume that it won’t happen here at some point.

How else is he going to sneak out the files for Papa Putin?

Oh crap! If cat’s evolve opposable thumbs, we’re all doomed! Their inability to effectively open the treat bags is the only reason they keep us around!
