Linux Video Editing

In my (limited) experience, different software works better for different styles of projects. Here’s my personal list of software that I use for various projects which can all be easily installed from most (all?) package managers:

I want to translate a video (manually) and subtitle it. I understand how caption files work and can do it by hand, but as I've never done it, it seems daunting with a lot of room for error.

Note: I will repeatedly use the colloquial term "GIF" here to refer to any looping animation. I have come to prefer the WEBP format for my animations that I post to Lemmy, but the term GIF has become somewhat of a catch-all for looping animations regardless of the actual file format used.

Sorry, I forgot to post about it. I also hope that this absence wasn't too disruptive!

I've had some really shitty things come up irl, which means I won't be around to mod for at least a couple of months. Therefore, I'm locking this community because I'd rather not see it get overrun. I don't know when this will be back online. Maybe January at best.

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.
