Kdenlive

What Kdenlive is

Kdenlive is a free, open-source desktop video editor for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with 4K export. Its editing tools include multitrack and 3-point editing, keyframeable effects, non-blocking rendering, and proxy editing for 4K and higher-resolution footage. It supports a wide range of video, audio, and image formats, and exports to formats supported by FFmpeg. Subtitling includes AI-supported speech-to-text conversion, while animation work can use its integration with Glaxnimate. The Project Bin organizes assets with folders, tags, and multiple bins. Editors can nest sequences, render them independently, and use them to arrange scenes or keep alternate edit versions within a project. All sequences in a project share the same profile, and sequences cannot be copied directly between projects. Kdenlive is part of the KDE Community, whose legal entity is KDE e.V., a German nonprofit. KDE says its software generally does not transfer device information except after explicit user action; any telemetry is opt-in and disabled by default where present. Support resources include a manual, tutorials, community channels, and bug reporting.
