Kdenlive is excellent. Probably top of the line in terms of features when it comes to FOSS and just works unlike the probably-better-in-theory freeware alternative on Linux, DaVinci Resolve.
I recently tried iMovie on the Mac to see how it is, just wanted to cut a clip out of a YouTube video I downloaded, and while its interface is much more well integrated, it completely froze during import of the video (I think it tried to transcode it in the background and ended up swapping hard because believe it or not Apple, there actually are workloads you need a lot of RAM for). Kdenlive didn’t struggle at all on the same machine.

I’ve never been able to get GPU acceleration working on a single device with KDEN. “Just works” with Resolve. Not saying you’re wrong, just hasn’t been my experience.

Yeah, GPU acceleration is currently broken. Something something mlt issue. I’m looking forward to the fix but not holding my breath. I can survive on CPU til then, though

I mean it’s kind of a big deal LOL Especially when dealing with 4k+ footage.
