@ballombe:
I sometimes use Kino for dumping footage from my miniDV camera, its controls are pretty nice. However, I find its UI unintuitive and definitely not useful for my way of working with video, as I've described in this article. To each his own, I'm happy to have the choices. :)
Btw, you wrote:
"In Kdenlive/Openshot, importing the fragments is very slow and then you have to assemble them manually by dragging them to the tracks which is very slow and error prone if you have 50 fragments of 10s. Then doing a cut is very slow for no reason."
I find neither condition to be true here. Clips load very quickly and I have no problems aligning them on the timeline. Ditto for cuts, they operate quickly and accurately here.
Best,

I only tried Kdenlive/OpenShot with AVCHD. It it possible other formats load and cut much faster. A single cut could take more than 20s.
It is also true that I am very uncomfortable using the mouse, so dragging 50 fragments to the timeline without overlap or interleaving blank for me is a chore that will take me half an hour at best if I do not screw it and have to restart from scratch. How much time would you need to do it ?
But my point is that this is a very basic operation that can be trivially automated but is not.

kdenlive snaps things you drag to the timeline so even with a crappy touchpad it is quite usable. About the manual thing, i haven't tried but I'd be willing to bet that you can select all clips (CTRL-A) and drop em at once...

I tried that and it does not work.

@ballombe:
What version of Kdenlive are you using ? The Snap-to function works fine here, as does Ctrl-A to select all clips within the timeline GUI.
