KDE 4 Video Editor Kdenlive Released (KDE.News)

KDE.News has a quick look at the 0.7 release of Kdenlive, the first KDE 4 release of the non-linear video editor. "This closes another gap of the free desktop world: a usable open source video editor. Kdenlive has the potential to become the Amarok or K3b of video editors, offering comfort and elegance so far not available in alternative programs. The feature set looks amazingly complete and far exceeds the KDE 3 version already."

How about stability? I'm still looking for a Linux video editor with decent features that doesn't constantly crash.

Cinelerra (community version) has become a lot more stable in the past couple of years. I'd suggest giving it another shot if you tried it before.

It's also being rewritten which I think will help when it's done. I desperately tried to use it for doing HD work, but in the end had to give up and do it in a VM with Premier Elements.

I've been working with this release of Kdenlive and it's actually not bad. It handles HDV work and has been steadily improving over the years. It also doesn't constantly crash like Cinelerra does. Congrats to the Kdenlive team for reinvigorating this project!
