Everyone agrees that it's impossible to shoot video perfectly on the first try. Even birthday videos or amateur productions can use the kind of touch-ups that a video editor has to offer, like titles or transitions. The truth is that the open-source world lacked a proper non-linear video editor with similar features to the ones found on other proprietary platforms for a long time. This aspect is certainly changing, and one of the applications that come with that change is Kdenlive.

KDEnLive 0.7.5 was released a few days ago, so I installed it on my Ubuntu machine to see how the app has been progressed since the last time I tried it. KDEnLive is the most actively developed, and easiest to use Linux video editor. Its UI resembles Sony Vegas in many ways; if you know how to use Vegas, you won't have trouble with KDEnLive.

For many years, editing digital video in Linux was not an easy task. Linux users have long sought a nonlinear video editing solution that was both powerful and easy to use. Kdenlive is the first video editor for KDE to combine both of these critical aspects into one package (...)

Non credo che Kdenlive abbia bisogno di particolari presentazioni: si avvia a rappresentare il massimo che si può chiedere in campo di editing video casereccio. L’applicazione è già totalmente funzionale e può essere usata per creare filmati anche abbastanza impegnativi.
