I'd interject for a moment. What you're reffering to as GNU/Linux in real live is just Linux. Calling the entire Linux as GNU/Linux is technically incorrect, because not all distros use gnu software. I hope you learned that debian should be called as GNU/Linux, but the whole Linux should be just Linux as there are distros like alpine that hates gnu and don't uses gnu software.

How about inkscape? and that way you can resize your logos without artifacts. It has snap points as well so you can be very precise with your placement of objects.

[@alexandersemionov5790]

Kdenlive is available on Mac now too. What a great time to be alive

[@4ida]

The only reason I can't use only Kdenlive all the time, is it's interface. If only it was more like Sony (Magix) Vegas Pro Like why have Audio, Video, and Audio and video track? Why can't you create new track just by dragging stuff? Also would be nice addition if you could resize whole track, do 3d perspective bending, and few other tiny tweaks, like audio track volume changing by points. (Hard to explain as non native English, so i might make a video and explain it that way)

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

@@glowiak3430 why are you commenting this to me ? I was just suggesting a better program to use for these kind of graphics.

[@glowiak3430]

@@renealbrechtsen9743 No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example. Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it. You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument. Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD? If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag. Thanks for listening.

these all work, and are good for the free software, but i find them far too limited for the videos i like making. so instead i spent a year writing my own video editor software that builds off of some cool proprietary tools. but i think what i did is on the opposite end of the spectrum, far too complicated. wonder if theres a medium end

[@pemetzger]

Are there any FOSS video tools that let you define and animations using a textual representation instead of or in addition to a GUI? Sometimes it gets irritating doing loads of fiddling by hand, and it would also be nice to be able to reproducibly recreate finished output from assets. (For example, it would be nice to just specify that the logo and text on the screen should start at some given spots by typing in locations instead of fiddling by hand over and over as was necessary.)
