Creator software for linux. Podcast, video and photography work?

[Kojack]

I am switching to linux for our systems here and I am looking at some creative software solutions. I think KdenLive is great for video work, Audacity for audio recording, and RapidRaw for photo edits. I am looking for other suggestions. I would want something for processing the audio to create the podcasts. Also, I have lots of affinity designer files and would like to be able to use them somehow as well. I know that somone forked affinity's new software with Linux so that might be an option.

Also, if anyone knows some photo software that I can take advantage of Lightroom presets and LUTs that would be greatly appreciated as well.

I think KdenLive is great for video work

I don't do video-editing but I've heard DaVinci Resolve is better.

DaVinci Resolve | Blackmagic Design

Professional video editing, color correction, visual effects and audio post production all in a single application. Free and paid versions for Mac, Windows and Linux.

And it seems film studios are also using it for editing many movies.

There's a script to use Affinity on Linux with wine.

Thanks. Resolve is basically too powerful for our needs, that's why I am thinking Kdenlive would be a lighter easier option. Awesome to know I can get Affinity working on linux as well.

Hi, I am circling back to this for a minute. Is there software out there that can fully edit Adobe illustrator files? I tried on inkscape but the text graphics I wanted to change vectors to individual letters instead of being able to just backspace the text like I can on affinity designer. Any help would be appreciated.

I got affinity working (sort of). How do I get the icon in my show apps area of Zorin? right now it's located in downloads only? It only works one every 6 or 7 tries however. Any ideas on how to fix that as well?

Try Mixx it comes to creating your podcast's. Modicia O.S. which is based on Debian 13 stable has that.

I did a review in the link below. Great for video editing, music and anything that an artist or musician would need.

Avidmux, Astro Fox and Natron come with Modicia and Open Shot is another alternative as well.

You can use Kdenlive for both video and audio. Just export as .mp3 or whatever other audio format you prefer.
For affinity, I recommend using the AppImage. I tried that installer, but the AppImage is way easier and just works https://github.com/ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer/releases/tag/Affinity-wine-10.10-Appimage
While Kdenlive it's great, I find it pretty basic, so I use Davinci Resolve instead https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/

I have the appimage for affinity but it only boots part of the time and I don't see where the files on the pc are, I get the Microsoft looking file manager I am guessing that is because of wine.
