kdenlive has been my go-to video editor for years.
However, it often introduces bugs in new versions, such as 24.05.0 and 24.05.1.
When you import a JPG image into the timeline the program crashes. ¿?

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.
