      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.

        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)

          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.

      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.

        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
