For anyone else not knowing what this is, Kdenlive is a Free and Open Source Video Editor. I’ve never used it but it looks like it has a lot of features.
Other than Krita (and Kdenlive) I have used all of those. I guess I’ve just never had the need for video editing. If I do in the future I know where to go first!
Yup, super quick to throw a cut together or some basic footage. It won't replace the full adobe suite, but if you want to cut basic videos together it's perfect
I would second this, I've used it multiple times and I have no desire to use anything else, because it provides all the functionality I need. Strongly recommend.
Performance is a little lacking though, on the other hand it is very very featureful, it certainly has that going for it.
For when I need the speed more I enjoy using Olive a lot
I've put a few hundred edits through this and it's solid. I do deal with a persistent crash on clip import with medium/large projects, so I import clips -> save -> relaunch and it seems to work fine afterwards.

Its one of the big main Open Source Projects of the FOSS world. Which include some big names Linux, GNU, LibreOffice, Blender, Krita/Gimp, etc

For beginner and more advanced user, this is the perfect software for video editing. It even has a portable edition and can use it everywhere!

If it has a portable version then I might give it a try. I'm always a fan of portable software.

It's more powerful than you are giving it credit for.
Plus, it's a bit disingenuous to compare a single program to an entire suite of software.
Kdenlive isn't trying to be After Effects. But neither is is Adobe Premiere.

Best free video editor out there by miles. No watermark, no nonsense fees

If you're doing basic and advanced video editing, this is THE open-source solution for your needs.

I moved from Vegas to kden and while not painless I am not missing any features. Would recommend!

It's been several versions since I experienced that sort of issue.

I've been using kdenlive in combination with OBS as an Outplayed replacement since I switched to Linux for gaming. It's great.

I've been using ShotCut for work for a while. It's been great. But eager to give this a try too.
