DaVinci Resolve has a free version and is made by an Australian company.

Kdenlive is open source and from a non-profit registered in Germany.

Kdenlive is amazing and crazy intuitive. I went in knowing nothing and was able to make great stuff.

I haven't tried it myself, because I hear it's very crash-happy. Have you had better experiences?

I’ve not used it extensively but never had it crash and it’s also undergone several large patches in recent times. Give it a go, it’s free after all.

Thanks! I will.

Based on the other responses to this, I'd say it really varies from person to person.

In my case, Kdenlive does in fact tend to crash often the longer I use it in a single session. It tends to get unstable on my system after around 2-3 hours of continuous work.

I remember losing an hour's worth of progress once, and from that point I've been saving my stuff compulsively. At least it taught me good habits!

I've done around 8 videos, ~3 minute in length, each with several clips, many effects, audio track, not a single crash ever.

I've been hearing good things about kdenlive. I just saw a thread a while ago saying how much better it is now

Kdenlive is amazing and keeps getting better. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's name is silly.

KDE software in general is great!

I have done several smaller projects in kdenlive. Works great!

Ive been learning video editing with Shotcut recently. Its FOSS

I think we should go

FOSS non-profit > European proprietary > American proprietary

I seriously question anyone who prioritises european proprietary software over a FOSS non-profit.
