[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 18 points 8 months ago* (15 children) Krita for painting Davinci Resolve for editing. You can also buy the suite for a one time payment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 15 child comments replies: [–] frank@lemmy.fraxoweb.com 7 points 8 months ago (14 children) Yeah, I know. I've never used Krita, but I do have the paid version of Davinci Resolve. But it can be tricky to make it work on Linux, I only use it when I need complex editing. Shotcut is simpler to use and more straight forward. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago I use Krita! I'm an open-source artist. All the tools and software I have ever used to make my art are FLOSS. It's my deeply held personal belief that the ability to create art should be as free as pencil and paper, and I want my work to be living proof of that ideal. I've used Krita, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, and other tools exclusively for over a decade. I never could afford Adobe's shit, and I realized pretty quickly that nearly anything Photoshop can do, a bit of savvy and some extra time in Gimp and Krita can do equally well. My only complaint is that they can't support Photoshop's brush file formats. Which is absolutely a dealbreaker for most committed artists I know, because your brushes make or break your workflow and even your entire art style. So switching isn't for everyone, and that's fine. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago* (4 children) I've never heard of shotcut, that looks interesting. https://www.shotcut.org/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 8 months ago (3 children) Huh, a couple of days ago I was googling all over the place for something like this and it didn't come up.

I recently needed to do a super short edit of a clip and people were recommending Kdenlive. Have you used it? To me it felt super complicated (I literally needed something like ClipChamp from Windows), but now I'm wondering if Shortcut might be the better choice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] frank@lemmy.fraxoweb.com 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) I tried Kdenlive, but was overwhelmed the moment I opened it.
