What is Reddit's opinion of
Kdenlive?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
My last experience with VEGAS (15) was shockingly inefficient for me, in memory usage, multi-rendering, and more.
I would recommend to anyone instead the following freeware programs (for which there are plenty of tutorials online):
Yeah, Filmora's ass when you use it for free.
There are plenty of free video editors out there that you can do simple stuff with.
If you're trying to do simple stuff, don't worry if a software looks fancy and complex, the simple stuff is simple to do.
Kdenlive is good one and actually free with no restrictions.
If have a bit of know-how, you can sail out into the high seas if you know what I mean wink wink
The Blender VSE is powerful, but maybe too much if you are looking for some simple cuts and transitions. Here are a few that can get you where you want without a major learning curve:
OpenShot: https://www.openshot.org/
ShotCut: https://shotcut.org/
Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/en/
I've tried all of these (not very recently, mind you), and I feel that the one that best balances ease of use with power user features is Kdenlive. If you have any specific questions, please let me know.
Here's what you do:
- Find a computer case that looks vaguely mac-y.
- Take it out back with a can of silver spraypaint and slap an Apple sticker on the side.
- Install Elementary OS, a free operating system that looks very similar to MacOS.
- Install a Linux video editor like kdenlive.
- Ship it.
- Start a betting pool for how long it takes them to notice what you did.
- If they don't notice, then congratulations, Linux has fewer stupid tech support problems than Windows or MacOS. Your job just got easier.
>editing .mogrt .aep .moti .proproj files in Linux?
I suspect this will be a problem as they are proprietary formats made by Adobe. And Adobe has not much interest when it comes to Linux.
>And i want some suggestion for good video editing software in Linux.
Si t'es pas allergique à la ligne de commande, tu peux faire beaucoup avec ffmpeg. Pour ton exemple:
ffmpeg -i video1.mp4 -i video2.mp4 -i video3.mp4 -i video4.mp4 \ -filter_complex hstack=inputs=4 combined.mp4
Si tu veux une interface graphique, tu peux jeter un coup d'œil à KDEnlive. Après, comme tous les logiciels de montage, ça prend un peu de temps à apprivoiser.
Its probably not a high priority since the kdenlive team already provides an official repository.
Source: https://kdenlive.org/download/
>Ubuntu | LinuxMint | Elementary
>For Ubuntu >= 16.04 and other *buntu based distros like LinuxMint you can download latest Kdenlive from our official PPA’s:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kdenlive
>Note: you can easily remove our PPA and revert back to official distro package using: sudo ppa-purge ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable
Resolve is the only free professional-grade NLE, but it has pretty high system requirements, especially in terms of GPU performance. If you've just got a basic laptop with <16GB RAM and no discrete GPU, forget about it - you'll have an awful time.
KdenLive is (probably) the most feature-complete free and open-source video editor. It does have a bit of that open-source jank where you can tell it's designed by computer scientists rather than editors so takes a bit of getting used to!
If you're after something that's closer to Premiere, Olive is also free and open-source, and takes a lot of design cues from Premiere. However it's pretty early in development, and 0.2 is very unstable - use 0.1 if you actually want to get stuff done.
Could try this: https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
(Win version farther down the page.)
Worst case, you're out a little bandwidth.
Expect a steep learning curve, stuff like this isn't for the timid.
http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/
https://kdenlive.org/features/
So you go to your Synaptic Package Manager and install them from there.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
Or you just open your Terminal and type out these commands
sudo apt install simplescreenrecorder
sudo apt install kdenlive
There you go. Enjoy.
Thanks! I used Kdenlive:
https://kdenlive.org/en/about/
though I'm not entirely sure if I can whole heartedly recommend it, as it crashed several times randomly, but as long as you save frequently I suppose it does the job. I used some of the post processing effects/filters to make the video colors/levels look better.
Kdenlive released a huge refactoring of the code this summer and since then they have released 3 patches. I have only done 2 smaller videos in it recently but it's working great for me. I'm not on a professional level though but I can recommend downloading the Appimage and trying it out. To me, at this point, there doesn't seem be any open source video editor that is anywhere near Kdenlive in terms of features, stability and UI. The project is moving forward fast while others are (seemingly) standing still. Video editors are hard.
Use the AppImage version of Kdenlive, it works flawlessly.
https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
I advice keeping a copy of the file, Kdenlive 18.04.1 is the last version as we know it, Kdenlive is going through a complete rewrite, the next few versions will probably be fairly buggy.
kdenlive.
Its got a bit of a learning curve. the features and functionality are at a prosumer level, IMO - Somewhere between iMovie and Final Cut.
TBH, I snagged the blender files from the openshot source code and use use them IN blender to make my fancy titles when I feel inclined.
Specific tool for specific job.
He is using a version, which is over 2 years old.
In this regard it's funny, that he commented on Youtube "The Kdenlive development team keeps adding on features but they never seem to fix outstanding bugs."
I mean, he gets neither the first, nor the second. Maybe use a distro with newer packages?
If you aren't using a very recent version of Kdenlive i would recommend either grabbing a newer version if possible or the appimage/snap/flatpak available at https://kdenlive.org/en/download/. Kdenlive has had immense progress recently in terms of stability so it would be well worth it.
> https://sourceforge.net/projects/kdenlive-on-win/
What? That's virtualized Ubuntu. You'd be better off running it through WSL. Anyway, you can get a normal Windows version directly from the official website: https://kdenlive.org/download/
That was just unfortunate situation of the project becoming stale and the developers getting a bit burnt out.
That has changed.
The development has been reinvigorated and has seen pretty rapid development lately with a new big release coming soon. https://kdenlive.org/discover/16.04.0
Kdenlive has also recently become an official app of the KDE Project.
My vote is for Kdenlive. It supports a wide range of formats easily (which Cinelerra doesn't) and multithreading (which Blender doesn't), all while being free (which lightworks isn't).
For now, it should be considered the go-to program. I'll probably change my mind once Blender's VSE get's multithreading support.
I have found Kdenlive to work pretty well for video editing.
It has official support for Linux and Mac, but from some quick searching it looks like some people have been able to compile it for Windows.
Hey sure,
I've used Kdenlive for this. It's quite easy. Just add two tracks with your clips you want to compare in them, so they overlay each other. Then you can just right click on the first clip -> add effect -> transform -> resize it in the window on the top right at the edges of the red square.
Same for the second clip. Afterwards press ctrl + enter and export the video.
According to release notes, version 20.04 should be able to import files from Final Cut Pro 7 xml, except on windows. You can also cut clips in kdenlive by the way, there's not really a need for another program.
You can try KDEnlive. It's a free open-source video editor that can get the job done. You can blur out ("obscure" in the app) names, faces, etc. You can also edit audio, create transitions, add music, etc.
There's Kdenlive as already mentioned. There's also Olive. Both seem to be great video editors.
Also, you can do some video editing job with [Blender](blender.org) too. Blender isn't really well made for editing videos in it so it will be a bit rough experience, but on the other hand it's a fully featured CGI suite, meaning you can insert some fancy 3D effects into your videos with it.
These should be optional, you can try without and see what works/doesn't for you. As a side note, you can download the appimage from the kdenlive website (https://kdenlive.org/en/download/). It's a bit bulky, but you won't have any troubles of missing packages.
Happy editing.
Yup, I do all my RAW processing in Darktable on Linux. Well sometimes Darktable on my Macbook too. Everything on my Instagram feed ( @leanderhutton ) that isn't off my phone is Darktable or GIMP processed. I used to be more pro than I am now but I still do plenty of paid work. I moved my video work over to [Kdenlive(https://kdenlive.org/)] from Apple's suite too as it does most of what I need.
Hm... you'll need an editing program which allows you to create more than one layer when you want to add an UR/SR/R count and a frame... (Personally my to go program would be Sony Vegas but it's understandable that you don't want to spend money on a one time thing)
The thing is, most free video editing programs only allow one or sometimes two layers... but I found this one: kdenlive. I have no experience with it but it seems that you can create several layers so maybe you can give it a shot? There is also a page with tutorials.
Good luck with the video and I hope you'll get Taisho Hanayo!!
Hey there! I'm not at my PC at the moment to double-check for the Corners effect, but you should be able to apply any effect as a track-wide effects and project-wide effect.
Check out this article, in the section titled "Effects on Tracks".
So, you can either: - click on the track itself (and by that I mean, click on the left panel where the track's name and whatnot is) and drag the effect into the effect stack, or - click on the track and double-click on the effect, or - drag the effect directly on the track.
One of those should work. Let me know how that goes.
Hi u/TheHighGroundwins
we have used a screenshot of an official <strong>Kdenlive 19.2 announcement</strong>. It uses a dark theme and the layout has been adjusted, hence it looks different from it's default appearance.
Kind regards

Falls du in der GNU/Linux-Welt unterwegs sein solltest, ist kdenlive empfehlenswert. Kann eigentlich alles was man braucht, und ist im Gegensatz zu vielen free-Editoren multi-track, d.h es gibt mehrere parallele Video- und Audiospuren.
I don't learn from youtube videos, I find them annoying as I'm lashed to someone else's comprehension speed and I wait through irrelevant dictation.
I much prefer reading text: https://kdenlive.org/en/2019/04/kdenlive-19-04-released/
The last time I used it, it wasn’t crash prone but it had a lot of issues with the timeline. The most common problem for me is the timeline would stop accurately reflecting the state of my clips then it would throw errors when I continued editing. I’d have to close the project and reopen it quite often.
These timeline issues, I think, are the source of other issues, like speed modifiers not working and so on.
But the maintainers are fully aware of the problems and that’s what the current refactor is designed to solve. You can read about the progress on that here: https://kdenlive.org/en/category/news/
I last tried the refactor version a few months ago and that crashed before I could do anything, but I’m sure it will have come a long way since then.
For example Kdenlive has a beta build for windows: https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
> The beta Windows version can be downloaded from the KDE servers. > > Now, you don’t need to do anything more to set up. To run Kdenlive, you just have to unzip the downloaded Kdenlive version, and start Kdenlive from kdenlive.exe in kdenlive-windows folder.
> Still struggling with the video and pdf software though
Do you mean video editing? If so I really like Kdenlive. For viewing I can't say I've ever really needed to go much futher than mpv.
If you download from the official site there should not be any malware, same as any piece of free software. You can get source code and compile it yourself as an option as well (though imagine this is difficult for most casuals). Open source software is good stuff.
http://www.openshot.org/download/
I haven't used openshot in many years though. Kdenlive was more my jam. https://kdenlive.org/features/
kdenlive it should be in the repos
sudo apt-get install kdenlive
There is (was?) a missing dependency on Linux Mint (Cinnamon) though. You have to also install the kde-runtime
sudo apt-get install kde-runtime
>What software do I need?
I can run you through all the software that I use for my videos. I'm on Linux, so my choice of software is going to be different than most peoples. But all of these programs are also available on Mac. They're also all free.
- Kdenlive A video editor. Not quite as feature-rich as some of the expensive ones like Sony Vegas, but definitely has enough for most YTPers' purposes.
- Audacity An audio editor. Of course, you can edit the audio track write in your video editor. But I occasionally use Audacity when I want to do more precise cuts or advanced effects.
- Gimp Like Photoshop but free.
> How to get sound bites
You can get a plugin for Firefox or Chrome to download Youtube videos as well as flash videos from other sites. TV show are usually the hardest thing to find. One of the reasons that poops of infomercials are so common is because it's easy to acquire clips of them
>how to avoid legal trouble with youtube copyright?
If by legal trouble you mean actually ending up in court about it, don't worry. The worst that will likely happen to you is your Youtube account gets taken down for repeated offenses. More commonly, they'll just take down whatever video it was. You can sort of learn from experience which content owners are more strict about taking down Youtube videos and which don't care. But as a general rule if it's a TV show or a movie, then you run a much higher risk of that than if it's something like a commercial or music video.
... Why not just start with the Ubuntu usb, install KDENLiVE, and call it a day? Keeps things running while you mail things back and forth to clean up after Clarkson the Great...
The devs made this post not too long ago asking people to share their work using Kdenlive. You can find links to different videos here, and reach out to the creators perhaps if you have further questions: https://kdenlive.org/en/2021/10/kdenlive-on-tv-for-a-main-national-italian-broadcaster/
There are some cloud based products out there, but if you want to work locally, you're probably going to have to use linux via crostini to get a video editor that you'd consider professional. There are quite a few of them. Kdenlive, Openshot, Shotcut are some of the most common ones.
They will all run OK if you have a more powerful processor, and at least 8GB RAM is always a bonus.
Make sure to use flatpak/appimage or something similar to get the latest versions and it's probably best to use proxy editing to make your previews faster by using low res files when editing and previewing.
> But the Firefox is a couple of versions behind
LMDE uses Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) because it is more stable, it is easier to manage, and [reasons]. Firefox ESR receives the same security updates as the main edition, but it does not receive new features as frequently.
> the stuff from the software store been a couple of versions behind the latest as well.
This "problem" exists with the main editions of LM. It really isn't a problem, it is just the nature of an Long Term Support distribution. There are ways around the issue, and you have discovered one of them - flatpak. There is a flatpak for Firefox.
Another is AppImage, and I have used the kdenlive AppImage 2017. It is maintained by the developers, and it has never given me any trouble. You can download it at
https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
So I just spent the last 15 minutes trying to find one that I remembered looking into, because apparently it's meant to be really easy to use. kdenlive. Not sure how the interface is, imo it doesn't look great, but the features are meant to be easy to use and it can probably do what you're asking of it. It's free too! Which is the main thing.
But honestly aside from that one, I really don't know of any though! Lemme know when you find one :)
Also I made another comment branching off here about performance issues and stuff. If you could shoot back at that when you get a minute I'd appreciate it.
The playback is going to stutter as you add more tracks and effects. I haven’t noticed it too much with just bare tracks but definitely when you start adding effects like position and zoom. You can use the Timeline Preview feature to make playback faster. It takes some time to generate the preview since you are basically rendering a subsection of the video. If you change anything in the section that has been previewed you’ll have to generate it again.
IDK what Kapwing is, but if you want a solid video editor I'd check out Kdenlive. Free and open-source competitor to something like Adobe Premier.
Might not have all the features of something like Premier or Vegas, but that awesome price tag of $0 keeps bringing me back to it.
It's video- and audio-editing software. Kdenlive is vastly superior on multiple levels in my experience in memory management, though inferior when it comes to drag-&-drop/WYSIWYG-style editing. In my opinion, this isn't really worth it when VEGAS Pro 15 was bundled years ago for half of the price, if one is willing to learn how to use open-source software instead.
> I then tried "sudo kdenlive" in terminal
Don't do this. After doing this, your Kdenlive configuration files are owned by root and you can no longer launch Kdenlive as a user with your configuration intact.
Whatever issues you have with Kdenlive, don't try to solve it by launching as root. This BTW applies to any userspace application.
I have no issues launching Kdenlive right now, but I'm running the AppImage version, which tends to isolate it from system-wide library changes that may have affected you and u/devMao.
I recommend kdenlive. https://kdenlive.org/en/
I'd recommend using obs for capture. https://obsproject.com/
Heres some image software for your thumbnails. I can add to this list if you like. https://www.gimp.org/
Thumbnails are actually really important mixed with titles.
Firstly , before updating , you have to save your current projects .
On the other hand , if you will update kdenlive ,
then you will may not lose your progress in your current projects .
Is there any option inside the settings of kdenlive about updating this software ?
If not , you will may need to download for free the latest version of kdenlive :
They were lifetime licenses for their respective versions. I actually still have that exact SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12 key, tucked away in a spreadsheet. I only used the VEGAS Pro 15 key and never touched the rest as I use Audacity for all of my audio needs. If you have unused game keys or other content available, we could conduct a trade. If you don't, I would strongly recommend Audacity and Kdenlive for all of your basic media-editing needs.
I suggest you not go for Davinchi resolve and instead try to use and support tools made by and for the community like Olive (I recommmed and use version 0.1) and Kdenlive.
First of all because Davinchi is not no strings attach free, it's software is advertised on its website as free, but in reality it it's locked at 720p. To unlock 1080p or above you have to purchase a license from a reseller starting at $295. So not free, and not really usable at 720p, especially for streaming video or projecting. Oh and IMO Resolve is jut an add for Blackmagic cameras so there's that.
And the programs I mentioned are free in the literal sense of the word. All the features at no cost. OBS is actually made with the same model as Olive and Kdenlive, with volunteer contributors making awesome software for the community to do great things with.
Hey, I don't know if you found a way but what worked for me was to download the software directly on their website (https://kdenlive.org/en/download/)
Well... now kdenlive is in white in the version I have which I don't like but anyway aha.
Hope it works for you!
I love that you're getting all 3 instruments into these, it sounds awesome.
kdenlive (https://kdenlive.org/en/) is a free/open-source video editor that can do pretty much whatever final-cut pro can do... but is kind of awkward. Its also a linux/windows thing, so you'd need to get creative trying to run it on mac. Good luck.
there are two YouTube channels that come to mind when interested in color grading/adjusting. Chipper Videos and TJ FREE. both are great.
if you're the reading type, I got you covered with a link of Kdenlive video editing application handbook detailing kind of good stuff. including color correction section that goes in to details explaining color correction curves/vectors/lighting effects/green screen and so on.
https://kdenlive.org/en/video-editing-applications-handbook/
if you're interested in video editing techniques, let me know.
cheers,,
Yes, just make sure you expand the clip once it's in your library item. Expanding it will allow you to "unzip/extract" the library item within your project and edit the title clips: https://kdenlive.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/library-expand-clip.png
Just make sure not to move or delete the original files
Kdenlive supports Linux, Mac, Windows.
Da Vinci Resolve is an impressive piece of software, being formerly a pro colorist package, but it might be more advanced than what you're looking for. But it doesn't cost anything to find out, either.
Hey I really appreciate it!
I did know how to before, I've actually done some editing through high school and college, but I'm definitely no expert.
Honestly I just copy other folk's formats, and I cut out all of my stuttering and goofy stuff. A 2 minute YouTube video is usually like 10 minutes straight of me recording and trying not to sound dumb. As for approaching the editing process, it's really just trial and error most of the time.
I use Kdenlive (https://kdenlive.org/en/) as my main video editor, it's free/open source, though there's a bit of a learning curve. They do list some learning tools on their websites and there are some YouTube videos out there, but you might be able to get the hang of it just by poking at it.
Kdenlive is suited for this, it's that kind of "medium range" software, well above the simple generic stuff like Movie Maker, but also far less complex than pro-stuff which takes a month to learn (the Premiere and Vegas and Resolve) etc. Kinda like Sketch or Figma is well above generic but not full-fledged Illustrator.
With your kind of experience, I assume you'd be up and running, well editing, in an hour and a few tutorials maybe. People really love kdenlive, it's a common favorite.
My problem isnt to find gnome boxes. Its the way the Gnome Website present me their Projects. And just lets compare it to the project pages of a other DE that is in fact not a distro, KDE.
If we go on any Gnome Project Side, we see only one way to download, flatpak. No mention for anything else, most of the time not even a mention of the Real Project Name.
On the other side is KDE, and when we take a look what they list, its just great: Kdenlives download page as a example
​
For me, it looks like Gnome wants to push Flatpak.
I think OBS is a great tool for mixing live videos.
Pre recorded video mixing would be handled by something like Open Shot. which is free and gets the job done.
I'm on Kubuntu and use Kdenlive and apparently there is also a windows version available.
​
​
If you want to try a different free editor, kdenlive is a decent one.
For a while I was using openshot but I had a lot of problems with it tbh.
kdenlive is only in beta for the Windows version but it works pretty damn well from my usage with cutting stuff and syncing things together.
You have to scroll down to get to the Windows link.
https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
I really only know about OpenShot and Kdenlive though. And I switched because OpenShot was giving me this weird like flickery stuff at the left and right edges of the video.
I use kdenlive:
Besides being an excellent video editor it's also an excellent audio editor. By using kdenlive I don't have to preprocess all my audio before bringing it into the application.
When it comes to Linux your main options are:
- Davinci Resolve - The most professional and pretty much best video editor on Linux and is also one of the best overall on Windows and Mac. Has a free version and has a ton of good features while being decent to learn if you have never used a video editor before.
- Kdenlive - An open source video editor which is considered the best of the FOSS ones and before Davinci was viewed as the best.
- Openshot - Another open source video editor which is good if you don't like Kdenlive but it is known to crash.
I would probably start out with trying an app image available from https://kdenlive.org/en/download/ and see if you encounter similar issues there or not. Also knowing what distro you are using and all would be helpful in trouble shooting.
ATTENTION for windows users of kdenlive! If you're planning to render your video to x264 or x265 make sure to use the stable "ffmpeg-4.0-win64-shared.zip" file instead of the unstable daily build that the download page of kdenlive links to. IT DOES NOT WORK!!! You will get an error that says "Unsupported video codec: libx264" and will not be able to render anything with x264.
I was only able to discover why I had this problem because of this thread.. The developers should really link the download page to a stable build of ffmpeg instead of an unstable one that doesn't work :/
OpenShot always gets a lot of mentions, but in my experience Kdenlive is streets ahead of it, both for basic and professional use. Straightforward layout, good documentation on the website, supportive community on the forum, and extremely capable. By far the best F/LOSS editor for documentary/web video (Blender VSE may be better for animation workflows).
I've been recommending kdenlive (Windows version). Relevant parts pasted below, here is a little more detail if you want it.
Pros
- Free and open source
- Easy interface once you get used to it
- Large user base, so lots of how-to videos and pages out there
- Good selection of effects and transitions, though I haven't tried all of them
Cons
- Windows version is buggy
- Clicking the 'x' to close the app doesn't kill the process, I have to kill it manually in Task Manager
- Certain transitions cause an immediate crash if you use them the wrong way, I have noticed this specifically with Affine
- On the plus side it usually auto-saves so you can recover your work if you didn't save manually
I've been using kdenlive (Windows version) for some months now and I like it pretty well. I'm not sure how lossless it is (I haven't played around with that part) but it seems to have a decent selection of encodings. My source videos are MOV format and I encode them into mp4. Trimming/combining videos is really easy with it.

If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you could try kdenlive, which is free and open source. While it is meant more for linux distributions, they have a beta port for windows. Link to the kdenlive download page.
I use kdenlive which is free and open-source. It's a bit buggy but it works on Windows. After some experience I can work through the basic stuff pretty quickly.
- Cuts and splices
- Zoom
- Audio muting and replacement
- Fast forward
- Title text
- Blurring/masking (e.g. license plates and faces)
- Superimposing videos on top of each other (like adding rear camera view in the corner)
Here and here are a couple videos I've edited with kdenlive, if you want to see examples.
I would personally be very happy to see the fan community continue to make Idea Channel inspired content. I see your point in episodes taking time to make, and it would be super dope if a multi-person team could be assembled to make videos. I personally have a significant amount of experience with Kdenlive, I've cut about 5 hours of project documentation together in it for school projects and shitposts, so if you ever want me to edit one of your videos, just let me know :)
KDenLive, while it is a Linux software, a windows beta version is available on the official website, you simply need to follow the instructions and you are set.
Use this video editor called kdenlive instead:
Its free and is a 1000 times better and advanced than widows movie maker, pretty close to all the big names too like premier for not too fancy stuff
Second Kdenlive, I'm not YouTube star but for what I've needed to do in video editing it's pretty good for me. Ability to queue up multiple projects to render at once was what I really needed as my editing needs are basic.
Kdenlive devs are also porting to Windows currently:
> The Windows port involves a lot of configuration fine-tuning and lengthy compilations, but is steadily progressing and we hope to have the first Kdenlive Windows built in the next days.
https://kdenlive.org/node/9469
Watch that space, I guess.
I really recommend the latest version of Kdenlive which is 16.04. If you are using ubuntu/mint here is how to install it: https://kdenlive.org/node/9460
In archlinux you find the latest version in the repo.
also check out the last 3 posts of this blog for the latest features coming to the next version:
http://thediveo-e.blogspot.com.br/
and finally maybe going to /r/Linux_Filmmaking you'll find more help since i don't think many people use linux here...
> your best option is something 5 years behind Windows Movie Maker
Ever heard of KDenLive? It's basically got the same editing power of iMovie, and theres plenty of tutorials online.
> You can't even find anything on par with iMovie let alone Premiere
Davinci Resolve is used by big film studios, just as good as Premiere, available on Windows, Mac and Linux and the base version is free.
Thank you!
Also, if you want to know how I record and edit my vids, I use Open Broadcaster Software to capture my screen. Its a light, free screen recorder that was first made for streaming but can also simply record that high quality footage. After I record I dual boot an Ubuntu system from another hard drive and edit the footage using Kdenlive, another free piece of software.
I learned how to use these pieces of software through Youtube, so all of my skills have been completely free =D
Kdenlive. Free and open source, available for Windows and Linux, made by KDEthe same people behind the Plasma Desktop Environment. Takes some getting used to and can sometimes be buggy but it's otherwise great, a couple of my Youtube videos were edited in kdenlive
I'll only comment on video editing. For simpler needs, many people find Kdenlive acceptable, it used to be known as crash-prone but I think it's improved quite a lot recently. However, for more professional work, if you have the right hardware, Davinci Resolve is a top-grade tool. It's free and fully functional for SD/HD video, and then there is the paid version for 4K video support, extra filters and plugins etc. at $295.
It's not open source, but seems very highly rated and apparently well used in Hollywood.
They sell specialist hardware for it, but if you scroll down this page you'll find the software section including the free version.
If you need a free one for video editing, I find Kdenlive to be a very solid open source option - it can crash occasionally on Windows, so I'd recommend saving your progress often (good practice in general).
You upgrade through your distro's software manager, perhaps need to add the kdenlive ppa. Or just download the appimage for your distro, make it executable and run it. You find everything at their download site.
I also heard about the change of ownership of audacity and what that means. But IIRC they took it back, or a new fork has started. I am using an outdated version so I guess I am ok, but don't use it that often anyway. Sorry I cannot suggest an alternative.
I have not tried DaVinci Resolve but would recommend Kdenlive. It is open-sourced and is similar to Premiere Pro in my experience. Light-weight and does everything you need for simple video editing.
There's a way to do it using the command line and ffmpeg, which will save you the effort of re-encoding the entire thing just to bump up the audio.
If you don't mind waiting for the video to re-encode, and choose your video settings carefully to avoid loss of visual quality, any video editor will get the job done. I generally recommend kdenlive, but Openshot might be easier to get used to for simple tasks.
Reaper is a 3/10 video editor but an INCREDIBLE audio editor. Because video & audio are done with the same tools and interface, editing videos with Reaper is very fast and convenient when the video must be tightly integrated with the audio.
For example, I made this music video recently. While most of the editing was done with Kdenlive, the two percussion loops were edited and exported using Reaper. It's important that these video loops always line up perfectly with the song's corresponding audio loops. If I'd had to align them in Kdenlive, it would have taken a lot of annoying manual tweaking and even then still probably wouldn't have been perfect. But due to the tight integration with the audio editor, Reaper allowed me to make frame-perfect video loops in just a few seconds.
Because of ads like this, I would never use Wondershare Filmora.
For OP: Thank you for sharing, if you are looking for suggestions on other tools to use to make videos. Try Kdenlive.org, it's free, without any ads or banners. Works well for me!
Happy Holidays!
LibreOffice, Krita and kdfenlive are all available as an AppImage. Unlike the PPA (not sure about the flatpak), the AppImage lets you will avoid installing the Qt dependencies for Krita and kdfenlive.

Le seul utilisable qui segfault pas toutes les minutes que j'ai pu tester c'est kdenlive.
Quelqu'un a mentionné Blender, c'est pas l'utilité première du soft mais vu la qualité globale du projet ça vaut probablement le coup d'y jeter un œil.
I personally wouldn't use a program made by a company that intentionally disables older one-time purchase products to force users to pay for the subscription. While it likely will take some getting used to, and there are not nearly as many third-party effects and such, Kdenlive is a great video editor, and is the most common one in use on Linux, but it works on Windows as well: https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
Just wanted to chime in that there are some really great editing programs that are free. Black Magic has a free version of Davinci Resolve that works incredibly well or there are even some foss alternatives like Kden live. You'll probably find more help on the internet for resolve, so I would start with that.
Busqué un poco, y parece que la gente las hace estos vídeos con normal software de edición de video. Alguien preguntó aquí (inglés) también.
Creo que el mejor software libre de edición de video es Kdenlive, pero otras programas existen.
Es posible hacer una programa que sólo estos vídeos (fácilmente y rápidamente), pero parece nadie lo ha hecho.
I'd like throw in Kdenlive as a popular libre alternative to Resolve & Premiere. Might be worth taking a look at it if its features provide what you need. Even tho Mac is more privacy focused than Windows it still collects a considerable amount of data which unfortunately sometimes can be accessed through exploits.
The dot net stuff is likely to cause a lot of difficulty and the point at which it crashes makes me think of that especially.
Take a look at the Wine attempts list. It seems that some people have had some luck with some versions, but they tend to be older. With that said, someone seems to have done okay with Vegas 17.
There was some discussion on here a couple of years ago with some useful information. It seem the hardware acceleration caused problems.
I've never tried this myself, but I wouldn't expect it to work because Vegas is so specific to Windows. Kdenlive is pretty good these days, but I can understand preferring to use Vegas.
Jak najbardziej, stąd K w nazwie. Widzę kolega w okienkach, nie wszystkie elementy pakietu są dostępne, oprócz Krity polecam Kdenlive, obiektywnie najlepszy z prostych i darmowych edytorów wideo.
