Shotcut (on Linux at least) just doesn't work. I've used pretty much all amateur video-making software for Windows and some for Mac, Screenflow, FinalCut Pro, etc. The best by far is FinalCut Pro (Mac-only), because it automatically creates proxy files and allows you to edit everything in real time with no lag, even when adding complicated effects. The situation on Linux is dismal. The only good one is https://kdenli…

#83Being a hobby blender user i have used many Video editing softwares but i keep coming back to blender as my one stop shop for everything. Effects, Video Editing, Sound sync.. Other editors i use are KDenlive, Pitivi, Openshot and lesser known VLMC from the creators of VLC player.

Interesting. I had not realized Blender could be used for video editing too.
The problem with Blender is that its UI is completely different of the other editors. You'd have to invest a lot of time learning it.

I do some video editing contract work from time to time. I never know what I will have to use so I have pretty much used all of them. They are unstable because they require huge amount of resources, especially if your looking for 4k source material. You must have a very powerful machine. I don't have many crashes when working on high end custom built machines, but they do happen. From most stable to least stable for…
Missing from your list is HitFilm Express. I really like it. I've learned it in a VFX course and is really excellent for video editing. It is really fun to make some VFX effects in your family videos. Unfortunately, it is Mac and Windows only.

> Lightworks [...is] basically free I've looked at Lightworks before, but it looks like the free version only exports up to 720p? If that's the case, that's an immediate deal-breaker :(

With even cell phones shooting 4k I would think this would be a standard feature. It's not super complex.

I share the same frustrations but I think honestly at this point Davinci Resolve 14 is the best video editor for Linux - nothing really competes. It is a bit of resource hog, but they have added a ton of capability in the last few years in regard to non-linear editing and I think if you seriously need to edit video on Linux that is where you should be looking. Also it's free. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products…
