I think technically it’s both, but it’s mainly focused on the former - the shop and supermarket ones. You now pay 20 or 30p for them - previously when they were free, they would sometimes force a bag on you, even if you didn’t want one (I guess to walk around advertising their shop).
Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.
We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.
Reminds me of the two explorers from That Mitchell & Webb Look (youtube link)
“Of course not! Not North Wales! That’s ridiculous! It’s nothing like North Wales. No, South Wales of course. The resemblance is uncanny”
For your first time, either is definitely good enough. They’re both pretty full featured, and they both follow “normal” editing conventions - so if you want/need to use a different program in future, you already know how to use 90% of it, you’re just looking for where the buttons are. It’s all very transferable learning.
As mentioned by another reply, there’s currently a lack of hardware acceleration for timeline playback in Kdenlive which means if you’re really stacking the effects up, you won’t be able to play back in the timeline at full frame rate until you pre-render. It won’t make any difference in simple edits.

There’s obviously a lot of crossover between musk-dislikers and z-worshippers.
I spend a hundred quid or so, every year for the last ten years on Steam (Steam for Linux onwards), but in exchange for that, I have several hundred quality games - probably more than I can ever play in my lifetime.
How are people spending so much on imaginary gold rings for “Sweetshop Diamond Solitaire Saga Origins”?
Is it simply a matter of there’s 100 of them for every 1 of me?
I never really bothered with the multiplayer mode in it - I know the game was built with a multiplayer back end, but they did promise a single player mode, and they do present the game as having a single player/solo mode.
Obviously different things annoy different people, and I do get what you mean about quitting and restarting etc, but it was enough for me to stop bothering to play it and play X4:Foundations instead. I did still get over a hundred hours play out of it, so I don’t exactly feel hard done by, but if quitting to the main menu works, then it’s clearly mechanically possible for them to let you pause it, they just didn’t want to.
I hate not being able to pause a game, particularly a single player game. I think Elite Dangerous solidified my hatred of this, by not telling you the game is still running when you’re on the “pause” menu.
“B-B-BU-BUT it’s a simulation and you can’t pause real life so it makes it more real”
It’s a game, even if it’s a simulation game. It’s a toy for grown-ups. A very nice and fun and relaxing toy, but a toy nonetheless. It’s not more important than a phone call, call at the door, crying child, hungry cat, partner who needs a hand with something etc.
This probably extends to being able to save anywhere and rejoin later, but I think that one is covered pretty well by everyone else :)
I think he means “The law against shooting people dead with guns” is what stops people shooting you dead with guns, if you are to mention anything related to bible burning.
However, the info you’ve dug up there is really interesting, thanks!
You might find a few video tutorials to help work out the settings - I feel like I had to try things several times before I could make sense of it.
I was trying to smooth out some panning shots taken on an unsuitable tripod, which kept sticking and jumping, or changing speed. I think I had it zoomed in a bit and cropped, which gave it the space to shuffle the image up/down/left/right a bit. Beyond that, I can’t remember the settings. It didn’t make the footage perfect, but it made it watchable and usable.
Anyway, let us know how well it works (if at all).
Good luck!
The video editor Kdenlive has a stabilise clip option, which works by comparing the position of pixels. It’s quite good at smoothing out occasional judders.
There’s a bit of info about how it works here: Kdenlive Manual - Clip Stabilise
Here they still exist - they just make you pay if you want a new one. I (and seemingly most people) use them all the time still, but I guess more people reuse them more times now. I’m quite happy to pay 30p for one when the old ones get used up. I think they’re a bit sturdier than they used to be too - so less likely for the handles to snap when you’ve still got a mile to walk home.
I guess it mostly cut down on unwanted ones getting littered etc. Now they’re valuable, all the more reason to hoard them in a cupboard in the kitchen.
Where you are it sounds like they stopped existing - what do you put your food shopping in? Do you still have a thousand left that you previously hoarded?
