Kdenlive or other video editing software?

[ImmyChan]

I'm tempted to get a PineBook Pro once the new batch goes up for sale and I'm curious, can the PineBook Pro do some light video editing? I'll be coming over from a ThinkPad X220 and on that machine I'd sometimes do some light editing, stuff like putting a few video clips together and maybe adding some light effects all while using proxy clips in Kdenlive. Is the Pinebook Pro capable of doing that? If not it's not a deal breaker I'm just curious

I don't like your chances, but there is hardware encoding/decoding, does kdenlive support hardware decoding/encoding?

Yes. So does Shotcut. I don't expect either to use this to an advantage on a PBP. But I could be wrong.

The short answer is, yes, the PBP is capable, if the software has a port that will run.

The long answer is that I think you'll be disappointed at the rendering time, even if you can get the software to run.
