I’ve only ever used kdenlive and it was adequate for my needs I use it only for very trivial editing tasks tho, so I can’t say about anything complex
Thanks!
OpenShot is FOSS and they support Linux, Windows, and Mac. They seem to be dripping Flatpak in favor of AppImage, though. So that’s gross.
I use Shotcut, works well enough for what I need.
You can also try Kdenlive, though I have previously had problems with it where it just failed to work at all (have not tried recently). There is also a video editor integrated into Blender.

It has had a lot of development in the past few years.
I haven’t had a crash in … I can’t remember the last time. probably at least 2 years.
IIRC it wasn’t crashing, it was UI elements just not doing what they were meant to do. But I haven’t tried it in years, so I don’t remember it very well and certainly can’t say if those problems are still there.
Thank you!
Kdenlive. It’s a lot like Sony Vegas if you have ever used it.
Thanks, I’ll check it out! It seems like a very popular suggestion
I like Kdenlive a lot but man, why is the Export feature-- y’know, the thing that let’s you EXPORT A MOVIE-- buried in some drop-down menu like it’s a minor afterthought??
Export always seems to be tricky in any software, by the time I got to Kdenlive it didn’t give me trouble. Between DAWs and video editors, I think Da Vinci really has it going on. I can use Kdenlive for short clips, but it isn’t fun to work in for very long.
Apparently the keyboard controls on Kdenlive are really good
I tired kdenlive, openshot, shotcut, and some other one that’s very old looking that I forgot it’s name a few weeks ago (again) and kdenlive was by far the least frustrating one to use for me and the best looking one (imo), can’t really recommend anything other than it.

I also recommend Kdenlive.
I’d say Kdenlive is pretty good. The UI feels a bit clunky and dated, but other than that it’s a capable video editing software.
