When i try to find reviews or people talking about Kdenlive on places like YouTube, I mostly find things that are 2-5 years old at this point and just seem relatively outdated. Does it have an active community of users? Is it worth using in 2025? I think it seems really promising but i haven’t given it a shot yet.
Edit: up to this point I’ve been a user of premier pro and more recently DaVinci resolve
Another edit for further context: I wouldn’t say I’m a “professional editor” but I’m not just making simple cuts either. I make video essays on YouTube and my style is pretty edit heavy. Lots of text, sometimes I’ll have like 10 things on screen at once, etc
I use it to produce video content for my company, so pretty good I’d say.
For context, I would not claim to be a “professional video editor”, but I do have to edit videos in a professional context which is the same thing, technically speaking, but definitely not practically speaking. Anyways, for my purposes I’ve had no serious issues. Some crashes - save often - but no difficulty producing good looking results that my bosses have been happy with.
