I have just completed a first project with OpenShot. It worked perfectly fine initially, but as the movie became more complex, everything took much longer. Saving took several seconds, sometimes freezing everything for several minutes. Dragging multiple clips in the timeline would freeze the editor for several seconds. It crashed multiple times. Just to be clear, this was from having about 30 original clips, but cut multiple times (each probably at least 10 times), so over 300 individual clips in the timeline. The bottleneck seems to be related to parsing of the JSON, which is the format in which the data is encoded internally. The final file was about 1.1MB of JSON. I've also encountered strange artifacts when adding a new layer at the bottom of the screen - I couldn't drag clips onto it, they were placed onto another layer instead. This is on a laptop with an i7 and 12 GB of RAM. Compared to my experience of using Premiere Pro several years ago on Windows, with just 4GBs of RAM, OpenShot has a long way to go even for basic editing. But, having said that (and considering that Premier had years of paid development), it's a good tool and it's great that some developers are trying to built video editing tools for Linux. Things are slowly improving. |

Can you try Olive and compare it with all above?
As for me, I can fully use Olive under Linux (Debian 9.x) on my 10-year-old notebook with just 2GBs of RAM ;)
