Kdenlive:
This is my first video (Scroll down) using Kdenlive video editor which is a free open-source video editor. This is three video tracks and 4 audio tracks, and it came together nice. Yes, most likely I could have finessed it a little more, but I am happy for my first endeavor to turn out this well. I normally use another triplet of video editors to get the job done that I did with this one. Not exaggerated either.
I use Windows Video editor, yes, the old one to put the initial video together because it still works very well after all of these years and it is a free download and free to use. From there I go to Ice Cream video editor. It is simple, it can edit easily and I believe it was about 40 bucks. Then I go to Photos Legacy video editor as you can download and use that still in place of Clip Champ. The problem in that process is editing and saving from each editor and just the fact I have to use three to get the job done. The second, bigger problem, is that Photos Legacy is what I have been using to add FX, and it rarely works any longer. Yes, it is free to download. Yes it will start up, but it will rarely start all the way. It hangs, it never finishes loading, and yet sometimes no problem it loads right up. And of course, you can’t actually download it and run it on your own machine. In short, I am sick of getting to the end of my three editors to put my video together and finding I can’t add music, sound, other clips, overlays etc.
So here is my first crack at what I settled on for a solution. It is free, open source and being worked on, so it promises to get even better. Multi tracks, audio, video, overlays etc.

https://kdenlive.org/ There is where to get it. Hope this helped. I am not part of that team; I’m just shouting out a good solution that can do all of your video needs…

Symphony of Shadows

Symphony of Shadows Charles Block has escaped his holding cell, and no one seems able or willing to find him… The pattern of Block’s previous criminal activities revealed a clear progression. He started with smaller, albeit complex, financial crimes, gradually escalating to more ambitious heists that required intricate planning and the manipulation of multiple systems. The move towards physical logistics, as evidenced by his presumed involvement with the Crimson Syndicate, was a logical, albeit terrifying, evolution. It was the ultimate expression of his ability to control and manipulate the flow of resources, to operate with impunity in the arteries of global commerce. Corbin felt a chill crawl up his spine. Block wasn’t just a thief; he was a logistical architect of illicit trade, a man who could render entire borders invisible. #Crime #KOBO #DellGeorge #Thriller #Drama Symphony of Shadows eBook by Dell George – EPUB | Rakuten Kobo United States

The email arrived on a Tuesday, nestled amongst press releases about a new city ordinance and a celebrity chef opening a pop-up restaurant. Its subject line, “Assignment: Blackwood Creek Disappearances,” was bland enough to be ignorable, but Clara’s editor, a man who subsisted on a diet of caffeine and sensationalism, had flagged it with a rare “URGENT” and a single, emphatic exclamation mark. Just another ghost story peddled by a town desperate for attention, or perhaps a clever cover for something far more mundane, yet equally grim, like serial killings or human trafficking… #Horror #Readers #KU #DellSweet #Thriller #Mystery #Kindle

The Trap

The air hung thick and heavy, a miasma of stale cigarette smoke, cheap weed, and something else… something indefinably rotten. It clung to the peeling wallpaper, to the stained mattress shoved against the wall, to the very fabric of the room itself. This wasn’t just a dilapidated apartment in Harlem; it was a tomb, a suffocating cage built from neglect and despair. Rose-Lee, her eyes sharp and assessing, took it all in, the grime, the shadows, the sense of impending doom that settled like a shroud. Across the room, Alice huddled beneath a threadbare blanket, her eyes wide and fearful, a stark contrast to Rose-Lee’s steely gaze… #Crime #Thriller #Psychological #Readers #Urban

Easy Crime 04 Kindle Edition Book 4 of 4: Easy Crime Jenna clutched the strap of her worn messenger bag, her knuckles white. Her gaze was fixed on the two figures illuminated by the erratic neon. One was a burly man, his face obscured by the deep shadow cast by a baseball cap pulled low, his frame hunched as if carrying the weight of the world, or perhaps just the heavy duffel bag clutched between his hands. #Crime #Fiction #KU #Readers #Thriller #Kindle #Audible #series
