AI Analysis

MidShip ItBold Bet

Early-stage video editor when Kdenlive and DaVinci Resolve already exist free.

Strengths
  • C++20 with Qt6 and FFmpeg shows real engineering effort not just a wrapper
  • Nesting feature collapses clips into nested sequences with Alt+C shortcut
  • Keyframes on position, scale, rotation, opacity with smooth-step interpolation
Weaknesses
  • Only 12 commits and 2 stars indicates very early embryonic stage
  • Author admits it lacks most features that Premiere and competitors offer

Post Description

Was in search for a premiere pro alternative for linux, so I created this in 4-5 feedback and bugfix iterations with the help of fable 5. It's written in C++, uses Qt6 and ffmpeg and has most features that I needed for doing some basic video editing on linux. It's by far not perfect and only supports a small subsets of the features that software like premiere offers, but for me its good enough; and actually in some cases (surprisingly) even a little more performant then the original software for some playback tasks. It's still quite early but i would be interested in some feedback on this piece of software. Let me know what you think!
