@k_purpose The best video editor is straight ffmpeg.Example as to how you concat lots of videos:ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i combine.txt -c copy output.aviffmpeg -y -i output.avi -c:v libx265 -r 23.976 -crf 26 -b:v 2600k -x265-params pass=1 -an -f null /dev/nullffmpeg -i output.avi -c:v libx265 -b:v 2600k -x265-params pass=2 output.mkv(if software patents are an issue in your country, vp8 or vp9 is recommended over H.265).Kdenlive is reportedly an easy to use GUI video editor.You can also use blender for video editing (as it's pretty much a GUI on top of ffmpeg for video editing), but I've personally have had a bit of issue syncing audio with ffmpeg (but this is probably because the ebuild's of blender are broken in some ways unlike the binaries offered).Pretty much, Kdenlive should do everything you want once you get used to it, but it simply won't be the same as proprietary video editors you've used before.@aral >Lightworks runs great on Linux.For heavens sake, why are you recommending proprietary malware, when a free software (and sadly "open source") editor was requested!?!

@Suiseiseki @k_purpose Because people who edit video don’t edit video using ffmpeg. You don’t sit a director next to you and say “right, let’s pull up terminal!” As I said, there are free/open editors that others have suggested. Lightworks is one that I’ve used on Linux without issue as someone who has experience with traditional non-linear editing (Avid, Media 100, etc., in professional settings). If it means the difference between someone using Linux and not using it, I’m going to mention it.

@Suiseiseki @k_purpose (So by all means, please share your suggestions – and thank you for doing so – but, respectfully, don’t jump into my replies and attempt to shame me for sharing something that I’ve found useful.)

@aral >Because people who edit video don’t edit video using ffmpegI have edited plenty of videos with ffmpeg.>You don’t sit a director next to you and say “right, let’s pull up terminal!”If you've setup your terminal tooling to perfection, you can and should sit a director next to you and get cracking.>If it means the difference between someone using Linux and not using it, I’m going to mention it.The whole idea of the GNU/Linux OS was that the users could have freedom, not so they could run their favorite proprietary software and name the whole OS about the kernel.If someone is forevermore going to be chained to proprietary software, whether they use windows or GNU/Linux makes little difference.>attempt to shame me for sharing something that I’ve found useful.I'm not attempting to shame you - you should be ashamed for recommending malware that does not respect the users freedom.Recommending something that requires accepting an antisocial agreement and surrendering your freedom is not what I would call "sharing".

@aral @Suiseiseki @k_purpose I unironically edit video using ffmpeg. The more visually complicated things do merit graphical timeline editors but still strictly within the realm of libre software.
