i thought this question could fit here as this is a community about open source software after all, anyways.. i was gonna do editing for the first time and wanted to use something that's free and open source, i was considering either shotcut or kdenlive but i wanted to at least hear the community's opinion about it, i'll be waiting for the replies. thanks

Kdenlive is absolutely better than many other paid closed software video editors in all fields, speed, usability and ease of use

Got tricked into buying a license of pinnacle video editor 24 from humble bundle for $1 and I felt scammed. Slow, unresponsive, limited. Kdenlive beats it in every single compartment. Can clearly see that pinnacle video editor is just a cash cow for KKR and they're just doing the bare minimum to maximize their revenue.

Last time I tried shotcut instead it felt incomplete

yeaaaahhh i've used something like vegas pro and it would crash constantly and i just had enough and was considering switching to a different editor, i looked at some alternatives and found 2 options and they both look interesting, hence why i made this post cause i was looking for opinions on both of them, i might just use kdenlive
