The few times I had to edit video with Kdenlive, it was very prone to crashing. That was about a year ago, so it might have changed.

Kdenlive crashes _a lot_. But recently I discovered that it crashes much less if GPU effects are disabled and the binaries from their webpage (not from Debian, etc.) are used. Still it can be frustrating to use just because of the crashing, otherwise a quite nice program...

Ever tried blender? Yes, it has an (Standalone) video editor build in. https://www.blender.org/features/video-editing/

It does crash, but it's sane. I have rarely lost work because of it.

I think Linux varies a lot according to distro and packages/libs installed, it might be that, too.

Shotcut wouldn't keep working with XFCE4 Xubuntu 16.04 for me. If I applied any heavier effect it would freeze, then crash.
