This seems like a decent option, although it has bugs coming in and out all the time! Also it is quite hard to learn to use.
To get started:
* import a clip
* drag it onto the track area
Shortucts:
* Shift + R: cut tracks at current point. You can then select fragments to move around or delete.
* Shift mouse click drag: select multiple clips: https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/21598/select-range-of-clips-in-kdenlive
To set the video length, search for "set outpoint" on "monitor".
Add subtitles:
* Effects
* Dynamic text
then drag on top of the video track. To add only to part of the video, cut it up first.
Preview has no sound on <Ubuntu> 20.10. Fixed as of <Ubuntu 22.04>.
Sound worked on Ubuntu 21.04 though, but it then soon crashed with:
``
= = SET EFFECT PARAM: "rect" = 0=1188 0 732 242
MUTEX LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!! slotactivateeffect: 1
// // // RESULTING REQUIRED SCENE: 1
Object 0x557293592da0 destroyed while one of its QML signal handlers is in progress.
Most likely the object was deleted synchronously (use QObject::deleteLater() instead), or the application is running a nested event loop.
This behavior is NOT supported!
qrc:/qml/EffectToolBar.qml:80: function() { [native code] }
Killed
``
amazing.
On Ubuntu 22.04 haven't crashed yet.
<Ubuntu 23.04> broke the clip drag and drop!
