    It's also free and open-source, but i found Kdenlive had a lot more features and was a lot more complex than OpenShot could be. A Windows version is also being worked and, even if it's not perfect right now, it works quite well !

    Significantly more complex, but even for my basic editing needs the stability helps A LOT compared to OpenShot

    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.

    Only for very simple, single tasks, not for editing a film or so.
