I tried using other alternatives like OpenShot but KDEnlive seemed much easier to work with. I also use Handbrake to convert videos to different formats when needed.

I find shutter encoder easier than handbrake

Never tried it. Have to check it out. I don't xonvert videos often but it's nice to kewp them handy when you need it.

Had this experience too. Played around with Shotcut and OpenShot, really wanted them to be better just because the name 'Kdenlive' is annoying. But alas, the latter seemed easier to work with.

It's open source, so the name has to be a diaper fire. It's an acronym, it stands for Kool Desktop Environment Non LInear Video Editor.
