Tool for organizing and cutting off uninteresting parts
Tool for organizing and cutting off uninteresting parts
We record a lot of family videos, especially when we travel or when the children have some event, etc. Especially the travel videos are then everything my wife records on her iPhone, everything I record on my Samsung phone and the bulk of the videos are what I record with my Sony A7C. I then get everything into one directory but then all the files have different naming conventions, so it's a bit difficult to organize into a timeline. I think all of the files have their date/time baked in into the files so it theoretically should be at least possible to rename them to be able to sort them.
But then the real work starts, going through every single clip and trimming it and putting it in order into the timeline. So I wonder if there is some tool which can help with that.
Filesystem mod time should transfer with the file, just sort by last modified. Obv make sure your devices time is synced.
Plenty of tools for file renaming out there, I remember liking robo something
Avidemux is about as dumb as it gets for manual load > trim > save. But I like Davinci Resolve, cuz it's a real one.
But on the issue of AI, I have been thinking about this alot. There has to be a video centric model capable of doing common edits?!
3Second for Resolve. Don't bother with some specialty app that will do the bare minimum. Resolve is free, full featured, and easy to learn.
2I tried resolve but it doesn't start on my Dell XPS for some reason. From what I understand it doesn't work on a Intel graphic chip or something.
So I'm using KdenLive because I don't have windows either, just Linux.
