Kdenlive

I'm coming from PowerDirector and Filmora which have only trial, I really like Kdenlive and the tools it has to offer.
Pros:

• It works fine on my windows 10 64 bit, i3-4005u (!), SSD and 8GB ram (except for when I use a heavy effects like 'Region', see note about proxy files below)
• It has the basic features like transition, basic effects, cutting video and audio
• What it does it does good, you can customize the parameters of almost every feature you have
• It renders properly

Cons:

• The interface isn't that intuitive, it would take you a lot of time to do your first project and figure out how to operate this software
• It's built for a multi camera shoot, so if you're just trying to combine a few videos together with transitions between them it'll complicate things a little bit
• The transitions don't have a preview, so you need to apply them and check them on your own (and if your computer is slow it's a big drawback), but there's a video on YouTube that shows you that
• There's no built feature to add text, you need to create a transparent image (png etc.) and add it to the video

Good to know:

• If your computer isn't that powerful it's recommended to check the 'use proxy files' under 'project' >> 'project settings'.
• From the transition it's mostly Wipe (with all of it's options), Slide, Fade and Region (if your computer is strong enough) that are useful for a YouTube video all others are all kinds of weird mathematical manipulation on the images (let me know if I left out any useful transition).
• If your video is a transition oriented video make sure you do it right, putting the first video one track and the second video on another track so that they overlap a little and then add a transition

I used Openshot for over half a year. I got tried of it's bugs and crashes.** Why didn't i see this earlier ???** This is so much more awesome and I worked on it for over 2 hours, and it didn't crash or lag even once.
Totally recommend it :)

While it is similar to Premiere and is a fairly straight forward video editor, it's not very stable (crashed 3 times though thank God it has an auto recovery option) and it took forever to render out my video only for me to find that it didn't bring in the entire clip so I lost a good 20 minutes of the footage. Not very useful.

I downloaded this on Windows 10 and unfortunately this crashed several times but it has a recover feature, but don't use this if you have work to do. Don't use this with serious projects

Amazing FOSS video editor with a lot of great features (lightweight, keyframes, lots of effects, multiple playback windows, opening/closing/tabbing UI windows, video encoding presets, etc), and never had a stability or corruption issue with it on Windows 10 as some users mentioned.
Few things I don't like: slightly quirky interface when trying to select a clip or effect at the current playback position, also doesn't detect nor allow me to change the default/correct project encoding settings (30 FPS for a 30 FPS clip, always defaults to 25, and if you try to change it later on it will impact keyframe positions and possibly other things as well). I'd still give it like 4.7 or 4.8 stars though.
Just had my first "project corruption" -> software crash today.
This happened right after I tried to delete all audio clips connected to each video clips used and then tried to delete the audio track.
Seconds later I was notified about project corruption (more specifically that clips were missing with the project), I did a lot of undo's and redo's to try to investigate, but after about 20 undo/redo's the software crashed.
I opened the project up again and everything was still good as I had not saved the project after deleting the audio clips and the audio track.
This is why it pays out to remember to save your project often, but not after doing experimental things, and to be extra safe always save a backup of your projects once in a while if it's particularly valuable or labor-intensive. Just ctrl+c ctrl+v your file in explorer or your particular os' file manager and you're good.

On Windows with a high DPI monitor, this software is unusable because it does not scale and it has no option to manually adjust the UI/font scaling. Whether the software has many features or not is irrelevant to me if the UI is too small to use. Accessibility first, then function.

I used to like Kdenlive but the new versions are ridiculously unstable, to the point of usability. If you are going to use this editor you are probably going to want to use version 19 or lower.

One time I had put hours into a project, Kdenlive crashed while saving, corrupting it, making me lose all of my work.
