The #Kdenlive team is heading to #Berlin for a sprint from September 2nd to 5th, 2025! Stay tuned for more details soon.

Developers are welcome — if you can't make it in person we'll try to organize something online as well!

And to wrap things up, we’re hosting a Community Meetup on the last day of the sprint, open to everyone. Mark your calendar and come say hi! 💙

Oh, and we'll be at @akademy - so register now!

Looking at #Blender again for #videoEditing and it's obvious that it's still an afterthought. However, Blender supports more formats/AgX than other #foss video editors and it has a strong compositor. What's needed is a fork and redesign of the UI to make a good editor out of it. It can't live inside Blender and still work & look good. The all-in-one UI works for the 3D pipeline, but not for the editing/grading part. The needs are just different.

If you're curious about how to create time-lapse photos/videos, I strongly recommend you see this video by @ewen.

For me, photography and filmmaking require skills on an artistic level and a technical level. Top marks to Ewen Bell there — but in addition to that, in this video, he adds an extra dimension with how effectively he communicates and educates with this complex subject-matter.

If you've been thinking about having a go with time-lapse imagery, I hope this video inspires you to pick up your camera and make something beautiful.

Ich hab da mal eine Frage zu #VideoEditing – weder wichtig noch dringend, würd mich nur mal interessieren, ob das geht.

Im Juni 2014 zog Sturmtief Ela über NRW und brachte massive Gewitter mit. Mit dem einzigen videofähigen Gerät, das ich damals hatte – ein HTC Desire, das nur 640 x 480 px mit 5 fps konnte – habe ich an meinem Fenster Sequenzen des nächtlichen Gewitters aufgezeichnet. Leider habe ich dabei den Fehler gemacht, im Zimmer das Licht anzulassen. 🥴

Gibt es nun einen Trick, einen Filter in einem Editing-Programm oder sonstwas, mit dem der Lichtfleck der Lampe rausgenommen und Farben und Helligkeit entsprechend korrigiert werden könnten, als ob das Licht nicht an gewesen wäre?

(That background removal tool is actually a pretty good use of AI, and it runs locally, so no need to give Kdenlive Internet access.)
(The ability to change duration of multiple clips at once is also pretty useful, I might attempt to update Kdenlive to get that feature, and hope it doesn't break lol.)

BetaNews · Brave open sources Cookiecrumbler to make cookie consent blocking smarterBrave just made a move that should make privacy enthusiasts pretty happy. The company has officially open sourced Cookiecrumbler, a tool designed to automatically detect and help block those obnoxious cookie consent banners you see across the Web. These pop-ups are not only annoying but, according to research, often track users even when they click reject. Cookiecrumbler aims to stop that nonsense while avoiding the headaches that can come with sloppy blocking rules.
