SO spending a half hour in the Olive video editor is enough to tell me that it is so far away from being viable, it's not even funny. They were not kidding when they said alpha.
hmmm, interesting, I've not had that issue and Google doesn't see it as a known issue. I wonder whether it just needed a reinstall or something. Idk, anyway, good luck finding a replacement 🙂
I personally do my video editing in Blender, but I don't do much in it, so I'm not gonna advise to use it, but it has been sufficiently stable for me for like 8 years I've been using it.
@nicemicro Yeah, I never get to the video editing portion, it's instantaneous for me, open it and BOOM, I'm a bigger idiot than normal. Maybe I should give it another try though, who knows?
Now when the splash screen comes up, there is a "video editor" button or what, that can help you to avoid the 3D part if you need to, but yeah, for the Blender UI you definitely need your parents to hold your hands when you first open it, even if you're like 50.
Sorta jokin with that, sorry. Years ago, it was the goto editor for many folks, including myself. You really couldn't find a better editor that wasn't going to empty your pockets. The interface however, was hideous. Everything's worth a try though, you might find it's just what you've been lookin fer. The current version is called Cinelerra GG and it looks to be a fair bit nicer than the one I was used to using. I haven't really given this latest one its fair shake so I don't really have an opinion as to its goodness. These days, #blender is more than capable of solving all my video editing needs.

in reply to Matt • • •ohh, come on, it's not that bad since Blender 3. Now you can just select tracks and move them with the left mouse button.
Back when I started using it, you'd press "B" to initiate a box selection (or select with right mouse click), and "G" to grab the selected tracks. 😂
