I am glad I discovered this subreddit. It's been helpful so far.
I am currently using Kdenlive. Recently, I have started noticing some bugs - it quits unexpectedly many times after render is done but final output is still created. Sometimes simple effects take a long time and I have to often watch 3-5 youtube videos to learn them. The Kdenlive community on Reddit is actually very helpful but I have noticed many people have similar complaints.
Having said that, I have managed to create many videos and even publish them. It has not caused trouble so far. But in the last few videos, especially after their recent update, I have to spend more time debugging than working. Also, I want to improve quality of my video edits.
So my question to people who have transitioned from Kdenlive to DaVinci Resolve:
- Is DaVinci Resolve comparatively better product?
- Do you think overall it performs better than Kdenlive when it comes to editing and rendering experience? eg - fewer crashes, readily available effects.
- If the experience is relatively same, would you recommend me to stay with Kdenlive?
Of course, I understand everyone has individual preferences but I am interested in just personal opinions for now. It might help me a little.
