FilmCraft review: a free open-source Premiere alternative for Linux

ZDNet tested FilmCraft, a free open-source non-linear video editor from ArtCraft built with AI and Rust as an Adobe Premiere alternative. It installs in about 30 seconds, imports log footage, offers Lumetri-style color tools and runs on AMD GPUs, but exporting a 10-minute 1080p clip took roughly 40 minutes.

• Install via Craft Launcher takes about 30 seconds
• Exporting a 10-minute 1080p clip took roughly 40 minutes
• Runs on Linux with an AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU without issues
• No node-based workflow or real-time effect preview
