Apologies if this sounds silly but i was wondering if openshot or shotcut are good video editors especially for someone starting out on video editing for the first time, the type of videos i might plan on making is either general gaming videos or YTPs (hopefully y’all know what that is).
I have also considered kdenlive and davinci resolve aswell (i will not discuss davinci since that ain’t open source).
Out of curiosity, i was also wondering y’alls thoughts on shotcut or openshot (and probably kdenlive).
I’ll be waiting for responses, Thanks!


I remember someone said they had an issue where kdenlive crashed for them or something like that and it made me think kdenlive is prone to crashes so that was why i was unsure.
Now that i think about it, i wonder if it was just a problem occurring to them for some reason.
(Edited the post aswell too.)
I use kdenlive and its great, but if you have low ram like me, make sure to save and reopen the project to clear up older clips from ram. I also reopen the project before rendering. Perhaps there is a better approach, but i have found this to work and prevent crashes.
If a video editing software crashing on occasion was ground for concern, no one would use Adobe Premiere anymore
Fair enough.
