I used blender to put together my Kickstarter video. It has some weirdness when dealing with moving and scaling elements around. Sometimes it would just- wiggle things around while tweening them, which was infuriating. And the text tools are extremely basic to the point of frustration (can-t even do text with an outline)
But it worked. And it was free. I think the biggest problem is the fact that no one uses it, so no one is there to help when you-re having weird issues.

It defaults to 24fps because it stopped being a 3D modeler years ago and became a start-to-finish film animation and compositing suite, and film is shot at 24fps. If you want your video to be cinematic, that is where you set it. If you want it to look like cheesy -TV video-, set it to 30 or 60. Do recall the controversy when -The Hobbit- was shot at 48fps, and people hated the way it looked. It is buttery smooth because it is building and using proxies automatically.

Around 20:00 you had some trouble with strips alignment.... Remember:
1 - When grabing a strip (or handle), hold Ctrl to turn on SNAPPING ....... huge time saver + better precision
2 - When selecting handles, press Ctrl + B to make your mouse a selection box that only selects handles ...... amazing ...... you can select all handles from a cut and fine tune them with grab.

By the way, instead of grabbing the scrollbar for panning, you can drag it by holding down the middle mouse button in the whole area.
And in the View menu of the sequencer section, you-ll find the option to change the Waveform Displaying to On for all clips at once.
To activate a snap grid, just toggle the magnet button in the section header.

I really want to edit in kdenlive in my Linux mint machine, but my render times are horrible (around 30fps) and there is no difference if I use cpu render vs GPU (selecting NVENC for my RTX 2060)
when I render in resolve in my windows partition it is 3x faster at an average of 95fps.
Am I doing something wrong?

24fps is mainly cartoon animation.
Traditionally animators usually draw on 2s so 12 frames have to be drawn to make 24 FPS. Its easier to draw smear frames. People have A.I interpolated old animations, it turns it robotic feeling. So 24 fps for cartoon animation.
Great explanation!

Don't get me wrong every other Blender feature is amazing and it's the best piece of software ever, but you know you've gotten used to Linux when you start thinking Blender's video sequence editor is actually good. It has a long way to go before it's halfway decent.

You should activate -zoom to mouse position- in the user preference, it would help a lot when zooming in the timeline. Edit: You can also change the setting for the render temporary windows, if you do not like blender opening a new window when rendering.

DEFULT WAVEFORM: In the center far right edge of the window, there is an icon called, -Show Overlay.- Click the drop down arrow next to it and click on,- Waveform Display.- There you can have waveform appear on all audio tracts automatically.

the K shortcut for cutting is the Knife tool in the 3d editor parts of blender so I call it Knife in VSE too.
and I made a video about the VSE tools addon in blender, check it out, it should boost your workflow a lot :)
