OpenShot 2.4.1 Released

Oh? I used Cinelerra for quite a while.

I feel like every video editor for Linux has been severely buggy, and OpenShot to this day has problems but still the fewest. The thing I appreciate most about OpenShot is how they've stuck with an interface reminiscent of the original Windows Movie Maker, which is easy to understand and great for your basic everyday home editing. I absolutely despise how most home video editing software has gone the way of significantly changing the interface, making the timeline more difficult to use, with seemingly no benefit.

What I find interesting is how there is so much support around Blender, including that from the effects industry, yet hardly any for OpenShot or Cinelerra. Before OpenShot, video editing on Linux was a wasteland... I remember around 2008 your choice was Cinelerra(hard to install and is actually a compositor), Pitivi(most stable but lacked many features and the devs went AWOL for a while), and KDEnlive(most advanced but had constant problems and looked hideous outside of KDE).

EDIT: I just want to make it clear that a lot has changed since 2008 and it looks like Pitivi and KDEnlive are still active projects.

I was really happy when I found OpenShot, because of it's clean and intuitive interface. Unfortunately it was somewhat unstable at the time (which seems to be fixed by today's patch, yeay!), so I was even more delighted when I found Shotcut, which is also free, open source and cross-platform, has an equally nice interface, but has an even bigger set of features.
