hello there, i really dont have anything else to talk about so this is what i'll be talking about. Ngl, nowadays i dont hv any good ideas about videos for the channel, im trying to post a video atleast a week but that can also extend upto as far as 3 months lol. and this is also the "exam month" for me so yeah. and what is enter? ( im going to talk about it even if you havent asked) so i. have. started a video editor, yeah.. well, there is not any video editing software which fits my needs, kdenlive, didnt fit, and olive's development has been stopped so yeah, after all these i decided to just start my own. so yeah, this is what enter is, and you wnna know about the story behind the name "enter" ? doesnt matter, i am going to yap about it, so while thinking about the name, the very first thing i saw from my very own eyes was the key "enter" of my keyboard, and there it is LOL. and now if i think about it, we can do so many puns now, "enter, the FOSS editor" lol. and now you may ask why im starting from start instead of forking olive or some other project, reason being that i really dont know anything(the video editing stuffs, i have been programming so 4-5 years as of now), so that's why i thought it's better for me to start from sctach and build up while learning stuff, and in past 1-2 month i learned how opengl core profile, and now i can render a video on glTexture. YAYY. so yeah, that's all about the enter. as of now it's really nothing,

! this is the base ui, it is going to change a LOT. also im thinking of something entirely different approch

! as you can see, this idea resembles an average photo editing software, and it's kinda looking promising, the vertical timeline instead of the traditional horizontal one, kinda looking forward to it. so that's all it. I know that i have taken a HUGE project but hey, i aint backing off now. i want to compete with all the fancy video editors that are available in market, like sony vegas and adobe's product, and i wish to achieve what blender did.

Like, i've gotten some comments on how to make shakes on natron so i was thinking of first learning about the expression scripting and make a plugin for the shake and stuff, so i wnna know do anyone uses natron as their editor? Cuz for me, i cant see myself using natron as the primary video editor, i've only used it for effects and stuff. That's all.

so if you've ever used olive 0.1 on a wayland system, you would've noticed that it wasnt working properly. Like this.. ! the scale is not working properly. SO, you'll be needing flatseal, install it, flatpak install com.github.tchx84.Flatseal and open it, by default for olive it will look like this,

! in this disable "Wayland windowing system" and enable "Fallback to X11 windowing system"

! and now it should be working properly

for 3d environment, that is ocean, i learned it from the tutorial mentioned in desc. and for the lightning i used natron, used glow, the gain paramenter, and here is it.

it's been a while. tbh i forgot about this community, as i woneas the only who was participating and i was also busy cuz of my exams. but im free now. any tutorial idea or something that you want me to do?

I occasionally do some 2D animations mostly just simple silly emotes and gimp is proving to be a bit limited. So I looked at what 2D animation stuff flathub has to offer and there are several. The ones I found and that looked promising were synfig studio, pencil2D and glaxnimate.

Does anyone have any experience with those? How do they stack up in terms of features, user-friendliness and maturity of the software. My only real requirement is that it should also be able to do some stuff with regular image files even if many things will probably work better with vectors. I will mostly be doing very basic stuff.
