Hello guys
Based on my own needs, I developed a video editing application (with help of AI) with various features such as format conversion, trimming, rotation, and cropping.
I packaged it as a Debian bundle. I wanted to ask you to test the application and see if it has any issues or if it works properly—if you have time, of course. Thank you in advance for the time you spend testing the application. Additionally, if you encounter any errors during installation, the following prerequisites should be installed:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg python3-gi python3-dbus python3-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0

We have Kdenlive, most powerful video editor, natively to Linux. Could you please explain, why creating a video editor using AI was necessary? Was this simply a hobby, to see if AI had the brains to do it? Or was this made out of some necessity that I am not aware of?

Of course, I did it partly for fun and partly to build something I needed with the help of AI. So why did I do it? Well, I use Avidemux for cropping clips and sometimes Handbrake for converting formats, etc. Now, this software is just 1,200 lines of Python code and uses the FFMPEG engine, which is a compact tool capable of performing all the tasks that Kdenlive or DaVinci do—though, to be honest, I don’t know how to work with either of those! Sometimes big projects, like Zorin OS, start with something much smaller and grow over time. Anyway, thank you for the post you shared

I have installed it and am trying it out.
I have experienced no issues, yet to report, and I admit, I like how fast and simple it is.

Thanks so much for your time
I'm about to head out the door, but I'll give it a look later. 99% of the time when I'm editing a video all I need is to trim it, so this sounds fairly ideal. (I'm no YouTuber; I occasionally game capture and use unlisted links to show people this or that in games.)

Bearing in mind that I haven't tested much other than trimming, I've had no problems and was impressed by how well it handled everything. For my purposes, it's honestly pretty ideal. If I'm editing a video, my concerns are trimming, reducing resolution (to reduce size) and sometimes lowering bitrate if I need to get the video suitable for Discord or sending to a phone. Bitrate is the only one of those things it doesn't do, and and it's the least important and the last I'd ever want to lower. I'll likely continue using this.

Several days later, no errors, no heavy resource usage, still simple - I am enjoying this build. It is quick and painless.
