Flowblade employs a film-style insert editing model as workflow with similar design approach as
Avid. In insert editing clips are generally placed tightly after other clips when they are inserted on the Timeline. Edits are fine tuned by trimming in and out points of clips or by cutting and deleting parts of clips.
Flowblade builds most of its functionality using media framework
MLT. Other
MLT video editors are
KDEnlive and
Shotcut.
Other used libraries include
Frei0r effects and
LADSPA. Flowblade supports all of the formats supported by
FFmpeg or
libav (such as
QuickTime,
AVI,
WMV,
MPEG, and
Flash Video, among others), and also supports
4:3 and
16:9 aspect ratios for both
PAL,
NTSC and various HD standards, including
HDV and
AVCHD.
