Hello NLUG,
I was in dire need of a video editor on Fedora this week. I've tried Kdenlive, probably didn't try hard enough, never got very far with it.
Fedora magazine mentioned Shotcut. As the name suggests, I wasn't needing much more than cutting and dragging and laying out on a timeline and exporting to YouTube. It had exactly those features and more and happened to be very intuitive and simple to start using in a few minutes; didn't have to read directions or google anything. It even has video scopes that I haven't tried yet.
Video editing is part of my job and I have to say I'm very impressed with what I've seen with Shotcut. Will use and test further.
