- The only nonlinear video editor I've found with automatic shot/scene detection for splitting larger clips. EvergreenTrees • Dec 2016 • 9 agrees and 2 disagrees

- Kdenlive is an advanced, but also simple editing program. It's a little tricky to install but definitely worth it! Guest • Jun 2017 • 8 agrees and 5 disagrees

- This is my favorite Adobe Premiere alternative for Linux. Kdenlive is great on Linux. However, on Windows and macOS, Kdenlive is a buggy mess. pizzalovingnerd • Oct 2018
- This software has to most to offer as an opensource/free video editor. It doesn't have a big learning curve, and the community for support is huge. austinkessler • Oct 2018

- Allows edit videos up to 4K/96fps in the free version, have advance color correction and multi-screen support and isn't have watermarks. Much better than Premiere Pro, but free. Guest • Jan 2017 • 9 agrees and 3 disagrees
- Full editing timeline, powerful effects and color correction, and FREE if doing editing up to 1080p. Guest • Aug 2016 • 7 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Similar workflow as in Premiere Pro with full functionality and excellent color correction tools. Dm1 • Dec 2016 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees
- It's free while maintaining most of the basic features needed for editing. Similar enough to PP so transitioning to it is fairly simple. Guest • Apr 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

- It's a basic editor, not like Adobe Premiere Pro, but good nonetheless. Guest • Dec 2016 • 21 agrees and 11 disagrees
- Too basic, good for begginers but lacks tons of mid to advanced range features. Guest • Sep 2017 • 8 agrees and 1 disagrees
- It's a very basic software and there are often bugs related to tracks, like audio or video that won't go in the target track. However it can be an useful alternative to movie maker, but not premiere pro, in any way. Guest • Oct 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees
- considerably inferior in functionality cdcsdces • May 2018
- Way too basic. Way too many bugs. You need third-party programs for some features. someonelast • Jun 2018
- This is a little too basic, buggy, unstable, and has lots of visual glitches pizzalovingnerd • Oct 2018

- Simple and good, but needs keyframes maybe. Guest • Feb 2017 • 6 agrees and 1 disagrees
- The most compatible with all formats and stable on Windows of all Video editors I've tested. It's a pitty that when I'm writing this comment Shotcut does not have keyframe functionality and that effects such as Ken Burns' cannot be created. When in future releases "hopefully" this ability will be incrporated it will be the best free editor I know. Raelitis • Dec 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- The only free software that don't crash anytime, and got multiple features (autosave is magic on this one). Supports a lot of video formats. There is not much effects, and the ones here are not amazing, but it's already more than I need. Guest • Sep 2016 • 8 agrees and 6 disagrees
- It is a free software, it doesn't crash every time like other free softwares mahdimeskin • Feb 2018
- It's supposedly a "non-linear multitrack" editor, but you can't even select multiple clips at once on the timeline. A real pain. Guest • Mar 2018
- Its design language and features are all I need from a video editor, it's also Open Source so you can make derivative versions on your own, if you know how. Guest • Mar 2017 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- They are both very high quality, but this one manages to crash even more often! It managed to crash literally 13 seconds into using it! Very stable! Bildawl • Apr 2017 • 0 agrees and 5 disagrees
