#42Tried to use Shotcut years ago to edit a documentary and it crashed constantly. Neat idea, bad execution. Maybe it’s gotten better since then but it was unusable for serious work ca 2015.

#43This looks identical to Kdenlive, how is this different from kdenlive? https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/user_interface.html#user-interf...
As for features I haven't used Kdenlive enough to compare, since Shotcut works fine for me (never had any crashes, though this was using the Windows version so ymmv)

I used it for awhile, but there are a lot of short comings. It's very unintuitive and I would often spend more time trying to figure out how to do a thing than doing a thing.
