Shotcut

Shotcut and Kdenlive are disgracefully unstable and can’t be used in any professional sense. I do wish I could get Resolve working on my system, but for now I’ll be trying out Lightworks. I’ve lost too much time trying to work with Kdenlive and Shotcut. If you work with video on your daily driver these applications really aren’t stable enough to even consider using.

Flowblade

Written in Python, it is designed to be fast and precise. Flowblade has focused on providing the best possible experience on Linux and other free platforms, so there’s no Windows or macOS version for now. It feels good to have a Linux exclusive.

Lightworks

Both Resolve and Lightworks have their issues as well; Resolve’s being it only supports CentOS 7 and has features locked away behind Resolve Studio, and Lightwork’s is the same locked down features with the added subscription/license model. 720p in 2020? Get out of here. If you make you living in video, then by all means spring for the licensed copies of these – but for the average Joe doing it as a hobby, giving OpenShot or Kdenlive a try beforehand isn’t a far-fetched idea.

Cinelerra

Cinelerra has been available since 1998 and has been downloaded over 5 million times. It was the first video editor to provide non-linear editing on 64-bit systems back in 2003. It was a go-to video editor for Linux users at that time, but it lost its sheen after some developers abandoned the project.

VidCutter

Unlike all the other video editors discussed here, VidCutter is utterly simple. It doesn’t do much except splitting and merging videos. But sometimes that’s what you need and VidCutter gives you just that.
