A place to discuss all things relating to FOSS Creative Software.

RULES

Verbal abuse and incivility in posts and comments will not be tolerated. I'm a one man show and I don't have a lot of time to moderate, so for simplicity's sake, If you're being abusive to someone, there is no three-strike-rule. You're just gone.
No Shit-posting. Please try to stay on topic. This is a place for advice about FOSS creative software, not a meme posting forum. I want this place to be a resource to find questions and information about anything from LibreOffice, to Kdenlive, to Scribus, and more.
No memes. I know it's likely included in the "No Shit-posting" rule. But it bears repeating. This isn't the place for them.
Share your success. If you for advice on how to do something in a certain bit of kit, and then find an answer on your own, please don't just respond with "solved." Share how you solved it so that the rest of the community can benefit.

Video Editing Practice Footage (lemmy.ca)

Putting this out into the community for anyone who needs it.

When I was first learning video editing, I had trouble finding good narrative content to practice with. There was plenty of stock footage, etc... but nothing scripted where you could craft a scene between two characters.

Cinestudy is the best for that. In fact I'm using footage from there for a book that I've been working on about narrative editing in Kdenlive.

One of the main things that I have been missing in Lemmy since moving over from the other site has been the myriad communities for the various bits of FOSS software I use on a regular basis.

Any any given day, I'll use Kdenlive, LibreOffice, Blender, Gimp and Scribus in the course of getting work done both personally and professionally, and I kept waiting for the day when I wouldn't have to go back to the other site to keep up to date with them.

While some (Blender) eventually got communities in the fediverse of their own, few are very active. So I felt that I should at least try to create my own in the hopes that it draws some activity.

So if you're joining because of a shared love of FOSS creative software, welcome. I'm hoping to post news and other articles from around the web, as well as being a place for questions and advice from user to user.

Maybe it'll be just as dead as all the others. But I hope not.
