    If you are really demanding, Blender does not offer enough features and possibilities as an alternative to Flowblade which is a simple to use video editor on the one hand - but offers many different necessary features on the other.

    It is a 3D editor and video editor. Complicated to use I hear, but works as good as Kdenlive for example.
