About Kdenlive
Kdenlive is a free and open source non-linear video editor that scales from simple home videos to complex multitrack projects. It runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, built on the MLT framework for its editing engine.
It offers a multitrack timeline, a wide range of video and audio effects through frei0r and LADSPA, transitions, titling, and proxy editing for smooth work on heavy footage. Projects export to common formats and codecs.
Kdenlive is a KDE community project. Both stable releases and experimental daily builds are offered, and everything runs locally on your own machine.
