I think the GPU helps alot, since my render times are usually very quick on Kden, like a couple of minutes tops for a short film edit.

I am downloading now, will comment later!

I just tried it, and Openshot doesn’t have hardware acceleration beyond encoding, so preview is very choppy, this is on my windows box btw.

The Openshot proprietary analogue is more similar to Windows Movie Maker. Though the latter felt more useful and less error-prone

I don’t think both can compete for any true professional seats at the moment. Even on mobile LumaFusion is ten times better.

Kdenlive has some use if you are amateur or if you edit every now and then. Sometimes you need something that splices videos and nothing much more, Kdenlive will meet those needs.
