Technical questions about Trident, even though it's based on FreeBSD, are not allowed.I am coming back to FreeBSD, currently using the latest Trident version which in the end runs FreeBSD 13 Current.
PC-BSD, FreeNAS, XigmaNAS, and all other FreeBSD Derivativescurrently using the latest Trident version which in the end runs FreeBSD 13 Current.
I have no issues at all either, I know what I did wrong, I installed Trident on FreeBSD 12.0 both programs run smoothly.
Video/photo editing graphics on FreeBSD is highly dependent on video hardware, and requires per-setup analysis. In short - it may not be easy. But, there are a few video editing suites that do not require special hardware compatibility. First is Blender, second is Natron. Both of those can be run w/o any GPU OpenGL/CL involvement.
I use Blender to edit videos on FreeBSD all the time. Downside is that it's slower (naturally, with no GPU boost) to finish edits. I just grab a coffee and look at the news.

Have you tried them with gpu acceleration enabled ???
On shotcut you must edit a file and switch gpu to true.
On kdenlive you enable gpu acceleration via kdenlive settings.
Have you really tried these applications with gpu acceleration enabled ???
I am quite busy with other stuff and playing on my spare time with FreeBSD, I'll have to see more about this as most likely I am not even loading the right driver for my intel integrated controller but as I go along I'll post more info here.
Hey, if you used Linux before, you might have heard the maxim: "Tell a Programmer what x can't do and y can, and he may prove you very wrong." I'm a Linux and *BSD user myself (openSUSE and Debian, among other Distros as well as OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD and it's derivations), and also use Windows. So I know your frustration, believe me. FreeBSD is great as a general purpose Operating System, though it was designed to be for the Server. Just tell us what exactly is wrong. We're not mean here. So, you mentioned problems with Codecs. Tell me: what Desktop Environment are you using? I ask this because, just like Linux, each DE has it's own Display Settings menu item. From there, if you can see the Refresh Rate being 40 or 60, then that's a good indicator of what Hardware is being recognized on the Display side of things. Start there, and we might be able to help you.Video editing on linux can't be compared even with the best proprietary windows software from big companies like adobe for example sony vegas adobe premiere , adobe after effects they all suck !
On shotcut for example with hardware acceleration on you can have many 1080p 60fps video tracks as transparent for backgrounds plus color change effect plus distortion effects and they all can be previewed smooth as hell even with a potato pc , on big companies with powerful computer that has these software you get laggy preview 1fps if you are lucky ! very shitty performance even with high end graphics cards, cpus . I'm enjoying creating videos on linux.
I don't know what is the problem with these video editors i would be glad if someone could test if they work and try importing a random file for example a trailer he can download from youtube .

kdenlive and shotcut should work.
[At least I have no problem with a Radeon card]
I tried to use Kdenlive and Shotcut on FreeBSD12, both crashes on opening video file.
Building from ports with any option wont help.
Perhaps this is due qt4 to qt5 packages transition, but when I googled I found few years old same issue for Kdenlive on FreeBSD
So this is something broken for a long time.
Cinelerra is worked for me as well as Olive
