A View on the Open-Source Video Editing Landscape https://youtu.be/qEYGGqolEvs https://media.ccc.de/v/lgm25-upstream-2025-83652-a-view-on-the-open-source-video-editing-landscape Whether it is stitching together some travel footage or producing high-quality film content, there are many ways people want to work with the medium "video". Their needs for #video#editing solutions are diverse, and so is their budget. Open-source video editing software seems great for beginners to get started at zero cost. What do you get and what do you have to give up on compared to the closed-source options? What does it even take to build software like this from scratch, technologically as well as mentally? This talk takes a brief look at the free-to-use options for video editing on a desktop computer before switching the perspective to that of the developers and maintainers of such software. It offers insights into the struggles with technology, fundraising, self-motivation, and community dynamics, while also highlighting the rewarding moments and intriguing current and future developments.

LosslessCut #Lossless#video#audio#editor Electron based. Linux windows or mac LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

The best free Audacity Alternatives https://www.ghacks.net/2021/07/04/the-best-free-audacity-alternatives/ All alternatives listed below lack at least one of the main characteristics of Audacity.
