    Mention is made of Resolve, which does work great as a professional grade video editor, and in the next breath codec issues are raised, which are not a Linux issue but proprietary licensing issue.

    For a simple workaround in Mint go to: /home/UserName/.local/share/nemo/scripts

    Create 2 files to convert videos from the right click menu and make them executable in the Permissions:

    #!/bin/bash

    for file; do ffmpeg -i “$file” -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov “${file%.*}”.mov

    done

    And:

    #!/bin/bash

    for file; do ffmpeg -i “$file” “${file}”.mp4

    done

      Or buy the full version, which is a one-time purchase and solves the license issue AFAIK

      Just looked at Resolve and I definitely want to try this out. It almost sounds too good to be true. Anyone here tried it?

        I’ve used resolve for quite a few things in the past. It’s an excellent editor, way more than most people will need/use in the free version, and exceeds most corporate editing requirements in the paid version.

        Blackmagic Design bought it to have a video editing suite they could tie to their hardware, which I would call similar in design approach. It’s inexpensive for what it does, works really well, but isn’t the top of the line for broadcast.

        Most corporate broadcast (think like a bank or something having its own small recording studio, rather than the major broadcasting companies) will leverage BMD at some point in their workflow.
