this is so far the most high-end ARM chip in an embedded form factor that i could get my hands on. mainline linux doesn't even have the gpu node in the sm8750.dtsi yet (i'll have to pull in some mailing list patches). i hope the performance of this one will be enough for a while.

made a quick video demonstrating the performance of the upcoming MNT Quasar 8550 module, here in the MNT Reform Next (open hardware laptop). I recorded a bit of Blender, KiCAD, KDEnlive and the Steam library (camera at 50fps) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fM8e0roZGU

The source project has a different framerate (25fps) than your current project.
Clips or keyframes might be messed up.

kde/qt6 experts, i'm sure there is something missing here on the kdenlive splash screen. what, in turn, is my debian missing so it does not show?
kdenlive splash window, but there's no logo/header image?
