I hate how capcut has gotten to. Ive tried davcihi resolve but i find it isint as easy as capcut. I want to try a open source video editor for my linux mint laptop that is really free and so easy even a child could learn it.

Im up for suggestions or a change of my mindset.

      I recently tried KDENlive for the first time and had a ton of stability issues. Multiple segfaults, corrupted saves, etc. Is that par for the course of the tool? Seems like it might have core issues with the implementation if a brand new user can crash it.

    I think good, truly easy video editors are a dying breed. I loved Windows Live Movie Maker - rest in peace.

    These days, I think it’s worth it just to learn a video editor. A lot of the skills transfer; I haven’t used DaVinci before, but I’ve used other major proprietary professional video editors like Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro - the skills transfer. Just search how to do a thing you want to do a few times, and you’ll find it gets easier.

    As others have said, I think KDEnlive is quite good; I haven’t had a huge amount of stability issues. From what I remember (granted, I may be out of date), OpenShot felt really jank in general; I used Shotcut for a while but had stability issues and UI annoyances. Comparatively, I enjoy KDEnlive.

    There is nothing like CapCut for Linux. There’s Resolve, LightWorks, Shotcut, Kdenlive and the less evolved, Openshot. That’s it, all the other editors found online or suggested here are nowhere near completion. Also, none of them have the feel of Capcut with its AI and advanced automatic features. If you want to go open source, I’d suggest you learn to use kdenlive. It’s good enough with manual workarounds, as long as you don’t shoot in 10bit or in RAW or need complex color grading. If you really require automatic AI stuff like in Capcut, stay with Windows/Mac or a tablet. That’s the reality.

    I don’t think there are any other “free” ones. The only other alternatives I can think of is Meta’ s Edits app or Apple’s iMovie.
