Open-source multi-track video editor
Kdenlive is a free, non-linear video editor with multiple video and audio tracks, transitions, titles, colour correction and proxy editing for smoother work with high-resolution footage.
There are no watermarks or export limits, which makes it a popular choice for YouTube creators on a budget. It occasionally feels less polished than commercial editors, so save your work regularly on long projects.
Pros
- No watermark or limits
- Multi-track timeline
- Proxy editing for 4K
Cons
- Less polished than paid editors
