as we know capcut is no longer good for free users, any recommendation for open source video editor? i prefer option to export projects so i can archive it to my drive.
I use kdenlive which seems to fit your requirements.
I use this too and it works great
Kdenlive, easily. The only other video editor that feels good to use on Linux is the non-FOSS DaVinci Resolve (which requires paying for you to get any practical codec support).
Some people say Blender, but those people must not work on very complicated projects…
For simple cutting & slicing I honestly just write ffmpeg oneliners.

+1 fo
ffmpegand not having to install another tool for a single task.I do not edit videos, I just record with
obs-studioand cut out unneeded parts.ffmpegdoes that, it does so fast and without any problems + it also works for converting videos to another codec.FFMPEG is nice when you do something like
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 out.mp4and the result is almost instant as there’s no re-encoding.FYI - you only need
-c copyand do not need to specifyacodecandvcodec, if both of them are going to becopyanyway.
ShotCut is alright but it chokes and dies with a large video with complex cuts. I tried using it to edit trailers, a pre roll intro, and an intermission into a 1080p film for a movie night I host and it would hang indefinitely and crash frequently.
For short and simple projects it’s fine, even kind of nice to use.
This issue was solved by recent updates and it is mostly related to how your audio displays at different resolutions. If you choose a zoom that fits your system, you can edit +1 hour 1080p files, with many cuts and filters, without a problem.
kdenlive
I mean Kdenlive is the obligatory FOSS video editor
ffmpeg
Recommending ffmpeg to CapCut user seems not exactly correct lol
I quite like Flowblade ( https://jliljebl.github.io/flowblade/ )
This looks interesting. Thanks for the link!
DaVinci Resolve or Kdenlive
AFAIK kdenlive dominates the foss video editors. But if you just want to do simple stuff like clip…(something that MS bought), I suggest openshot
If on your phone, ig edits is solid for free
is solid for free
Just a heads-up, keep in mind the community you’re posting in (Open-Source). Open-source is about the open-source development model, not whether you’re required to pay.
Id use blender compositor + video sequencer, it got some updates recently
