Video editor for Ubuntu: the 3 best programs

The classic video editing programs Windows Movie Maker or iMovie are not available for Ubuntu. The three best video editors for Ubuntu are presented in this article.

• Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor. This means that the original file is not changed during processing and is only rendered at the end. As a result, no quality is lost in the intermediate steps.
• The program can handle almost any video format, whether new or old. Compatibility is regularly expanded and should continue to support the latest formats in the future.
• The video editor offers a customizable interface, which will help you a lot, especially as an advanced user. Otherwise, Kdenlive is packed with useful features that are especially important for advanced users.
• You can install Kdenlive from the terminal: sudo apt-get install kdenlive.

• Openshot offers tools such as transitions, cutting, effects, audio editing and much more. Openshot's drag and drop functions are very useful and help your workflow.
• The compatibility with video formats is not quite as extensive as with Kdenlive, but it is sufficient for the majority of users.
• You can upload videos from Openshot directly to Youtube or Vimeo, export them as DVDs or otherwise distribute them.
• Openshot can also be installed via the terminal: sudo apt-get install openshot.

• Editing video and audio tracks is very pleasant with Flowblade and is smooth. Features such as the "Magnetic Timeline" make trimming, merging or adding material particularly easy.
• Flowblade supports almost as many formats as Kdenlive and always has the latest file formats in its repertoire.
• Flowblade uses the G'MIC tool, which has set a new standard for image filtering in the open source scene.
• You can also install Flowblade via the terminal: sudo apt-get install flowblade.
