Comment on Recording & Editing Steam Deck Gameplay Videos With Kdenlive
supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 months agoBecause while the whole reason I got the steam deck was that it has the capacity to function as a normal linux desktop, desktop UIs are terribly designed for anything other than mouse and keyboard and a nice big monitor.
Being able to launch Kdenlive in Gaming Mode makes the process of viewing and editing gameplay footage feel like a natural next step to playing the games and getting the footage. It doesn’t feel fiddly and obtuse like switching to Desktop Mode every time you want to browse the videos you recorded.
Also Kdenlive has a good full screen mode that is a really nice natural fit for Gaming Mode on the Steam Deck.

Ok,the suspension is actually a big deal.I noticed that in desktop mode it usually closes my open files in GIMP and others when I suspend. Not that I wouldn’t save everything first anyway, but good to know.

It really is something that when I finally can afford a nice gaming computer that I think I will miss, the ability to pause the reality a program resides in rather than have to rely on an internal capability of the program to pause without crashing is incredibly useful in my opinion.
It gets all fucked up when games or apps require always online functionality… grrrr… but that isn’t the Steam Deck’s fault.
