Blender can be used as a video editor.
I tried it once but found it way too sophisticated! It would probably work, but it would probably require hours to learn, whereas with Kdenlive I could get up and running almost instantly with a 2-minute YouTube tutorial here and there to clarify certain functions.

> I only run Linux, so I'm not sure what I would've done without Kdenlive since I don't see what else I could have possibly used. Lightworks should run on Linux. It was used to edit Pulp Fiction, The Wolf of Wall Street and other blockbuster movies. I used it on Windows a while ago and my basic requirements were met, despite the free version having some limitations (like export resolution and formats). https://www.lw…
LOVE Lightworks But I have moved on to Davinci Resolve which is also on Linux. Lightworks workflow is the best but the learning curve is more like a cliff. Davinci Resolve seriously might be the biggest Video Editor on all three platforms int he next three years. Highly recommended.

If you're working on recording projects on linux, why the heck are you using Audacity? Seriously, save yourself a lot of headaches with Ardour.
Ardour++ life changing when I started using that for multitrack recordings..

Reaper is also available on Linux now! It's my go to. Not free, but has an unlimited trial. If you decide to buy it, the $60 license is practically a steal.
Reaper is amazing. Take your projects with on win/Mac/nix for $60
I'm a musician and Linux user, so I have to lean on open source for recording and production. I use Kdenlive to do basic video creation; background music to a picture. It works really well for my purposes, in fact, I've had much fewer problems with kdenlive than with Audacity or Inkscape. Inkscape locks up my entire machine (AMD card most likely to blame) and I can't get through a recording project without Audacity c…

I'm a simpleton when it comes to video editing, but I was able to make a series of professional-looking videos without a whole lot of trouble in February. I only run Linux, so I'm not sure what I would've done without Kdenlive since I don't see what else I could have possibly used. Huge thanks to everyone who contributes to the project!

I prefer blender as an NLE (in fact I know jack shit about 3d modeling, so blender is just a video editor to me.)
So do I. You’ll need the manual or some YouTube videos, since it isn’t the traditional UI paradigm, but if you take the time to learn Blender you’ll find that it is a very capable video editor.
Shotcut and openshot crash less for me in general under linux, maybe I should give kdenlive a chance again after reading about the GUI fuzzing progress. My experience has been that kdenlive is prone to crashing and saving your project often is a must
Also for any user thinking of switching to or starting with Kdenlive, they should know that in addition to crashing often (as reported by many users) it also does not support a relatively common video editing feature as multiple timelines. In Kdenlive, in one project/file, you are only given a single timeline to do all your editing in. You cannot nest them, combine them, there are no timelines to combine, there is on…
Multiple timelines, not multiple tracks?
