Without getting into the philosophy of open source vs proprietary and the like, but just as someone who very occasionally needs to edit video on Linux, how does Kdenlive compare to something like Lightworks or the Blender video editor?
On Linux for the last 6 or 7 years, I've used Lightworks just because the free version has been good enough for what I've needed for nearly everything, and for the few times I need higher resolution I have just paid like $20 for one month of "premium". I didn't have any objective criteria for choosing Lightworks, other than "it's been used for 'real' movies!"
That said, I'd prefer to keep things open source, so I'd rather move to a FOSS thing like Kdenlive or Blender, if they're comparable (or better!) than Lightworks. Anyone have experience with all three?
