What would happen if we evaluate platforms based on their video editors? Would you rather use KDE and Kdenlive or Gnome and Pitivi?
But both run on either desktop environment. This is a rather silly question.
Somewhere in the distance, a Gnome dev screams
why not just evaluate the apps themselves
Some video editors like Shotcut, Flowblade or Openshot are not affiliated with any particular platform, so you cannot evaluate them based on platforms. But Kdenlive and Pitivi are associated to specific Desktop environments and technologies. I am asking us to evaluate platforms based on their software. Lets evaluate KDE and Gnome based on what they have to offer?
But you can get both editors on either de? It’s not even like nautalus vs dolphin where you compare defaults since neither come preinstalled.
Next on the list of pointlessly reductive comparisons: let’s judge which is the best desktop environment solely on which has the superior clock app.
Blender
So what you are really asking is what platform developers provide the best applications (video editors edition)?
My biased answer here is KDE. But I haven’t used video editors in years, so it’s also an outdated opinion.
The video editing platform I would like to get my hands on is the early 80s “EditDroid”. But… only because there’s a Sun-1 embedded in it.
I feel like everybody got it so serious. I got it as a which one would you choose.
Last time I had to edit something I used olive. Didn’t got in my way to get work done. So, I liked it. Olive uses QT instead if GTK. But I use gnome as my DE for some years. I try something else time to time but always get back to gnome.
So between these two, that there are many years I don’t try. Just by the picture. I would choose piviti. Qt things use to have way more preferences visibe at once, qt apps looks more advanced tools. Some times this may add noise to get to the few important things/ui elements buttons to get the work done. But my experience with Olive and Mixx that are both QT were really good. Maybe I should try KDE again.
