this is me, doing php and javascript on daily basis.

I do use blender quite a bit, but haven’t really used much of the video editor. Last time I tried it CTD’d contantly. If it has gotten stable, reasonable audio tools and gpu accelerated video output, it might be a contender.

thank you for the tip, will check it out.

Essentially what I need is 3+ audiotracks, compressors for each and master. Then annotate with images/text whatever video there is. And yes it’s gameplay videos mostly.

lossless cut not really a concern, but I’d like to have the end result rendered out fast, so nvenc (current hardware) or so would be grand.

But, will expirement!

Most of my stuff works on Linux now, so, yay. Currently only thing holding me back from doing a full switch is essentially video editing.

My current go-to video editor is Vegas Pro, and it just works like an extension of me, for me. I’ve tried few editors on linux (kdenlive, davinci) but they’re either very limited/odd/user-error-id10t or just doesn’t support video formats I need (davinci, free version doesn’t support h264 or hevc, and not feeling like shelling north of 300 USD for it). Next up on my testing plate is Shotcut, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
