If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

Apologies if this sounds silly but i was wondering if openshot or shotcut are good video editors especially for someone starting out on video editing for the first time, the type of videos i might plan on making is either general gaming videos or YTPs (hopefully y'all know what that is).

I have also considered kdenlive and davinci resolve aswell (i will not discuss davinci since that ain't open source).

Out of curiosity, i was also wondering y'alls thoughts on shotcut or openshot (and probably kdenlive).

I'll be waiting for responses, Thanks!

Oh! KDE is mentioned in this comment, i actually do use KDE! I use EndeavourOS (i don't want to install arch the manual way or use archinstall... btw) with KDE Plasma and it's one of the best desktop environments i ever used.. i still like cinnamon which is the first desktop environment i used but after i tried out Plasma, i never went back. i might try Kdenlive first because of the fact that i do use KDE Plasma.

I might still test out both shotcut and openshot to decide which one i like more if that makes sense, thank you for your reply!
