I've no doubt this program has advanced special effects, but compared to AviUtl, basic editing is a hassle. Transitions should be objects you can set parameters on, then copy/paste to where you need them on the timeline.

It's the best (and only) true free alternative to professional editing softwares such as Adobe Premiere.
If you can use Premiere - or any other NLE - you can use Kdenlive too.
Its GUI is very similar to those professional editing programs and can be totally customized.
I don't know why so many people write reviews that seems jokes (or worse).. like the one from geofallen22, that says that Kdenlve is "a static paint programme"...
I don't know, really. Kdenlive is a very good video editor, the most powerful and complete in the opensource world.
They're improving it with every release.. and it's about 2 years it is very stable ad 100% usable also on Windows.
So.. I can't understand all the crap I read in many reviews.

This is a video editor reviewed as the best free open-source software available. I've tried to download it a number of times and receive always the same static paint programme - nothing to do with the video editor I've seen reviewed on Youtube.
Doesn't matter. I'm looking for reliability and stability and one can't ask this of open-source beta programmes. Losing a project is - the worst so I'm now looking at commercially available stuff.
