Big credit to that dude^


Apologies for the quietness of my voice during the first half of the video, I was new to KDEnlive at the time of creation and I didn't realize I didn't level the audio.

or, instead, you could install an Arch based distro and install it through the AUR.

i use arch (sometimes) btw

If you enjoyed any of this stuff, leave a like or comment. YouTube's algorithm takes all of that into account for my success.
