Best Video Editor kdenlive

My favorite editor of all time is kdenlive. It works really well, and the development has improved greatly the last couple of years or so.

Here are some of my tips and tricks for this editor.

Rendering Options

New ones with lossless setup: -preset ultrafast f=mp4 vcodec=libx264 acodec=aac crf=0 ab=%256+'k'

Tip, set the crf rate to be 17 or so if you want manageble file sizes. 0 is lossless.

File with text content.

Replace \" with ".
Replace line breaks with empty space: ^$ with "".

Reading Samsung Exfat K-Ubuntu 19.10

When trying to read any exfat formatted SD card it suddenly was not recognised by my system, so I tried to upgrade from Kubuntu 18.10 to 19.10, and it didn't help. Then I found a post about that Exfat is not supported by the kernel before version 5.4, but Kubuntu 19.10 is shipped with 5.3, but the packages exfat-fuse and exfat-utils should take care of it, but they were already installed and did not work apparently. And also my kernel is 5.0.x for some reason (5.0.0-36-generic).

Encoding detection in R project

The guess encoding (guess_encoding) function from the readr package is quite nice.
