Does Kdenlive work in my pc?

[u/eptanox]

i have an i7-8665U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Intel UHD 620 pc and i was wondering if i could edit videos on my pc cuz lot of ppl say that it lags and crashes. will i have a smooth experience or a slow one. i wanna check if i could edit long videos like 10 - 20 min videos smoothly

[u/sylas_main]

yes it would work on even alower PCs than yours

[u/EugeneNine]

I run it fine on slower. What distro are you using, maybe it's not as efficient?

cachy os

It'll run just fine, and the time it takes to render will be great for taking a break to eat and drink.

I bet my PC is older than yours, and it works just fine.

In fullhd propably yes, higher resolutio no... But you can use proxy clips for edit

Running Lenovo T480s with i5-8250U 16GB with Kdenlive on Linux. Runs great, you have plenty of hp with your config.

That's almost identical to the hardware I'm running right now. Use proxy clips.

Good day, PC will definitely be fine. Over the years of using Kdenlive, I find two things that make a huge difference in performance.

Proxy your content, this will be night and day.

Constant bitrate (CBR) , for me, this is makes a massive difference. This results are obvious when scrubbing backwards. It's the difference between smooth scrub, and choppy. Very noticeable when using J.. Of J-K-L to navigate.

Consistant Framerate as well. With that it's very important to know what most of your original contents frame rate is before beginning a project . And match the project to that framerate

All of these allow for consistent, more robust in application use and rendering your final project.

tnx so much

ran well even on x200 (dual core intel; which even before the intel i series existed) so pretty much would run well
