    Comments about Kdenlive as an Alternative to Adobe Premiere Pro
    Comment summary: Kdenlive is praised as a cost-effective and user-friendly alternative to Adobe Premiere Pro, appreciated for its open-source nature and features suitable for small creators. However, users note its instability on Windows and macOS and missing features compared to Premiere Pro. While its community support and ease of use are highlighted, it faces criticism for being buggy and laggy, with some recommending DaVinci Resolve as a superior option.

    The only nonlinear video editor I've found with automatic shot/scene detection for splitting larger clips.

    It is not fully feature-packed and is buggy and laggy. Davinci Resolve is a much superior option

    This is the best free alternative to Premiere Pro I've used for a few years. It has the basic features that Premiere Pro has, and that's good enough for my video editing needs. My only complaint is that images and videos are imported to fit a timeline's dimensions, which can be tedious to work around. Other than that, this is a really good video editor.

    I've been using Vegas since v11 and now I use mainly v15. I tried newer versions for a bit, but there are no new features in the newer versions that are really significant enough to force me to upgrade. It's fairly easy to use and very powerful as well. My only problem is the random crashes that can happen literaly at any moment. Although it doesn't happen very often, it's always caught me off guard and cost me some progress.

    Linear video editor supporting basic cutting, filtering, encoding, batch scripting, and many formats; ideal for single-file edits, trimming, re-encoding, and simple cleanup but not for multi-track or montage projects requiring nonlinear editing capabilities.

    Avidemux is a great app, I use it all the time, but it's not a Premiere alternative. I use it to quickly delete unnecessary segments in my screen recording videos while preserving the original video encoding. In other words, no quality loss and no need to run the lengthy video encoding process.
