personally i haven’t done much with kdenlive, i’ve only ever used flowblade in significant capacity. But i’ve found flowblade to be a lot more consistently laid out, and considerably easier to pick up than flowblade. Though i haven’t had any significant technical limitations in editing abilities. One thing about it that’s a little weird is that everything is very modular, it has a titling tool, but it saves it to a png, which is automatically added to the media bin, so you can just drag it to the timeline, which is nice from the sense that it easily lets you migrate them between projects, or even edit them externally to add some more shit.

It does the same thing with video clips if you reverse them using the integrated tool, though last i tried using it i recall it being broken, though i only used that on my wizards with guns video so i haven’t tried since then, and it worked for that video though.

here’s my youtube channel where i’ve used primarily flowblade for the past year or so. It should be fairly obvious which ones are edited

I’m sure you could do the same thing in kdenlive, and it probably has a couple different and maybe a few more features than flowblade, but like i said, i haven’t found a significant reason to dislike flowblade other than the project save bug, which is pretty easy to avoid tbh.

Flowblade also natively integrates GMIC as well, so it allows pretty substantial visual alteration of clips if you fuck with that. You can also use ffmpeg externally for some additional stuff, maybe through gmic, idk never tried.

Overall i’m pretty happy with flowblade, works fine. Doing timelapses with it might be eh, but iirc it does have a tool for that so idk. I haven’t tried that yet.
