Kdenlive
A KDE video editor for open-source, cross-platform desktop workflows.
Kdenlive is a KDE-developed non-linear video editor available for Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD. The site provides downloads, release news, a user manual, roadmap information, and community support links for people using or contributing to the editor.
Why it stands out
- Backed by the KDE ecosystem rather than a single-vendor commercial product.
- Runs across major desktop operating systems, including Linux and BSD.
- Provides public project infrastructure such as roadmap, bug reporting, documentation, and community chat.
- Positioned as a full non-linear editor, not just a simple clip trimmer or converter.
Good to know
- Requires a desktop installation; the page does not indicate a web or mobile version.
- The homepage excerpt gives only a high-level overview, so users may need the manual or features page to assess specific editing capabilities.
- Community support channels are available, but the page does not suggest dedicated commercial support.
