Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Kdenlive is KDE's nonlinear video editor for Linux, Windows and macOS. It includes asset organisation, proxies, multicamera editing and nested sequences.

For a project with demanding source footage, the documented proxy workflow lets you edit using lighter working files. Tags, filters and multiple bins help keep the source material organised before assembling nested sequences.

Strengths

Proxy editing and nested sequences support larger projects.
The editor is available for several desktop systems.
