I really like Kdenlive and use it both in Windows and Linux: it reminds me of Sony Vegas, isn't much more complex than Windows Movie Maker used to be.<p>It gives me a look at how the video will be rendered and lets me mess around with the quality/bitrate settings to a nice degree, as well as the amount of threads I want (unlike something like DaVinci Resolve). Splicing videos and adding various effects is pretty simple and while I don't see it competing with something like After Effects, for basic editing it's wonderful, runs well and the download isn't super big either.<p>That said, unfortunately it doesn't have Intel QuickSync (I have an Intel Arc GPU that would be nice to use) support and the only hardware accelerated encoding seems to be Nvidia's variety, which understandably gives me the following:<p><pre><code> Rendering of test.mp4 crashed
[h264_nvenc @ 00000175e870bac0] Cannot load nvcuda.dll
</code></pre>
At least there's Handbrake and I guess ffmpeg directly as well, if I ever need them.
