SBC Video Editing: Raspberry Pi 4 vs Odroid N2 & Jetson Nano

Kdenlive video editing on Raspberry Pi 4, Jetson Nano and Odroid N2 low-cost ARM SBCs. Includes tips for best video editing performance on a single board computer, and a comparative render speed test -- with surprising results!

My reviews of the three ARM SBCs featured in this video are as follows:

Absolutely fantastic! It seems an SBC can do almost anything. Edit a podcast? A video log? Write software? Connect to sensors and motors? You are only limited by your imagination!

Amazing...finally having a raspberry pi beat out other SBCs in something major - rendering time!

I have to admit, I was very surprised with the results. I was expecting the Jetson's GPU to take the win. I was expecting Raspbian's 32bit system to come in last. I'm thinking the maturity of Raspbian is giving it an edge. What a pleasant outcome for all us Pi owners!

I'll give kdenlive a try, after seeing how easy it is to configure and add transitions. Might also stop using Open Shot!
Also: it'd be fantastic for you to make a full tutorial on video editing (I don't recall you making one), your teaching style is top notch!

Explaining Computers is answering the question I didn't know I had. Great video.

This was of special interest for me as I gonna to do some video editing on my 9 years old dual core notebook. This notebook now runs on Linux Mint OS. So now I know what editing software to use and even exectly how to install it. Thanks.

Rapidly becoming the sbc and linux channel.

For anything SBC you are simply the best - editing video on a sbc! Classicly brilliant.

[shamrock]

Thanks for revealing the mysteries of video editing for me. It wasn't as hard and complicated as I previously thought. Great comparisons too.

[RinksRides]

if CUDA rendering was used on the Nano, I'm inclined to reason that the render times would be on the order of a fraction of the Pi4. Excellent video as always.

Happy Sunday, ExplainingComputers!

Honestly wasn’t expecting Pi to take the win, other SBCs need to watch out!

[mikeymaiku]

That wooshing transition gets me everytime

[LMacNeill]

Those render times were exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. I fully expected the Jetson Nano to be first, and the Pi to be last. The editing experience was in-line with what I was expecting, however.

Either way, it’s truly amazing what such inexpensive hardware can do these days! Really great video!

Every Sunday I learn something new. Thank You.

[horseradishpower]

Been looking forward to this video.

Thanks for giving us this, because I would love to video edit on my Pi!

[allenjohnson]

It is indeed amazing what these SBCs can do. I remember waiting over night for a single image to ray trace on my 386, and then if it needed alterations, waiting until the next morning.

[michelfilion]

I think you just might have ruffled some feathers amongst the Mac editing community...(lol).
I didn't know about the proxy setting so thanks a lot for sharing.

[chriholt]

Amazing results! I was especially surprised at how fast the Raspberry Pi rendered the clip!

[coffee-vznr]

I was waiting for a video like this, thank you very much Chris!!

[McRocket]

You keep amazing me with how much can be done with hardly any money.
Thank you again.
