please don’t edit videos in Blender, that sounds like masochism
it’s not open source but i will always recommend Davinci Resolve, by far the best video editing sodtware i’ve used and it’s free! (well 95% of it is, it’s fully functional and outstanding without paying a cent but if you want some extra presets especially for the colour grading stage then you gotta pay. how i see it is that it’s free software with a few built in ads for an effects package)
Both would be fine options tbh. I personally find the blender one to be functional but a bit clunky since it’s clearly not the main focus though so it’s probably the lesser of the two options if that’s all you’re doing
Blender has a really good video editor built in.
Blender can do video editing but I wouldn’t recommend using Blender unless you are already using other Blender features.
Kdenlive is a proper video editor and is actually designed for purely video editing. Just because you can do it with Blender doesn’t mean you should.

I think Kdenlive is about the same as Davinci Resolve at this point but I’m no where near a video editing expert so I could be wrong.
It is not. Kdenlive is still pretty stout for what it is, but has some rough edges compared to DaVinci Resolve.
Excel probably does too.
I do all my video editing in emacs
By chance, any idea how either of them compare to Final Cut Pro for basic video cleanup?
I use FCP for cleaning up instructional YT videos (cutting out flubs and flowing back together) but have been looking for a viable Linux alternative.

Kdenlive is surprisingly good from my limited experience with it. But blender can do basically everything so that’s also an option.
