I wonder if blender is doing this sort of deep processing with video
filters, etc. I think blender is an amazing tool with quite a
different appeal than what kdenlive offers. Also, Lumiera might be
trying to do this level of processing. It can be good to have multiple
projects in the same space - each with their own trade-offs.

Except that the commercial interests are not just implied as
"underlying" may suggest; rather, they are overt. Hey, I am just
trying to do more of what I love to do. I know of some former foss
developers that have taken a job in the post or film software field
that are now restricted from doing foss development.

Most pros know Autodesk (Discreet) Smoke is Linux's premier NLE.
