I've been looking at options & have narrowed it down to these 3.īut I honestly want to know why I should be compelled towards KdenLive. (7) Blend modes - Another important one, need for lens flares & smoke effects and such. (6) Chroma Key - Green Screen stuff, pretty self explanatory. (5) Rotoscoping - Frame by frame Rotoscoping & masking of videos. (4) Good performance - This is where I've heard that Olive beats Kdenlive, but other videos show Kdenlive running on a cheap Chromebook so I'm not sure. (3) Color Grading - The ability to manipulate colors, contrast, brightness, hue, saturation and so on. Also the ability to create ease in/ease out effects (eg by using Bezier curves like in Premiere) when Keyframing. The ability to Keyframe layers & effects with minimal hiccups. (2) Robust Keyframing - This one is important.

Here are the things that the video editor needs to be able to do (1) Layers - Pretty simple, the ability to add in, crop & animate layers. Currently I use Kinemaster which despite being surprisingly good for Android/IOS, is still a VERY limited video editor. I run a small YouTube channel & long story short I need a good video editor.
