Hi, I am looking for video clipping tool that record the last 60 seconds or so from any game I play, but on Linux. Software such as MedalTV, Nvidia ShadowPlay(i have AMD card) etc… is what I am on the lookout for. I know OBS is one option, probably the best(?), but are there any other suggestions?
Any tips or suggestions appreciated :)
Any one knows a powerful video editing software easy to use? Im currently looking looking at KDLive which seems to run on linux but still!
Olive is hardware accelerated and if pretty stable nowadays.
It depends on the tasks you are planning to do.
Here is a list with a bunch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Multimedia#Video_editors I tested most of them. While they all work fine, I had better experience with the flatpak versions when available.
If you just want to do some quick cutting, trimming or merging - LosslessCut https://mifi.no/losslesscut/
I use ffmpeg from terminal for quick stuff that I do often. Like resizing a video, cutting, getting an image from a frame.
Lightworks and DaVinci resolve are industry standard, but require a license to use most of it. The problem with their free version is the limitation of input and output formats. Ideal if you are making movies/going professional. I prefer DaVinci Resolve, keep an eye for hardware sale, sometimes it comes with a license bundled - Speed Editor being the cheapest.
Kdenlive is well-rounded, from the open source is the most robust, and with most maintainers. I use it mostly for gameplay and to add voice over to videos.
For recording voice over and sound FX, there is nothing better than Ardour https://ardour.org/
Natron is great for Visual FX, you can also use Blender for pretty much everything.
Man very thorough list of ressources, definitely saving and rechecking this :D
I use shotcut and it works well for basic video editing.
From what I know most people will recommend KDENLive and Davinci Resolve, the latter being the more modern solution - from what I have heard.

while davinci resolve is probably pretty top shelf as editor, just be mindful of limitations, namely: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve#MP4,_H.264,_H.265_and_AAC_Support
Unless you feel like buying the studio version, you can’t really use h264/h265 video codecs. For me this is pretty much a dealbreaker as I don’t have hardware which could encode eg. AV1 video reasonably - and I really don’t want to transcode recordings to different formats for editing.
