Great that you got it to work. Just to make the list with potential tools a bit more complete:

- Kdenlive is also a fairly capable video editor. https://kdenlive.org/en/

- From what I have heard the Blender video editor for many people is a go to tool as well. In this case it likely would have been overkill, but figured it is worth mentioning.

I used kdenlive recently and it worked very well! Clipchamp charges for 4K export which seriously annoys me given we all know that’s just arbitrary, but kdenlive handled it just fine and was actually faster to use anyways

I completely missed looking up Kdenlive because I (rather stupidly, in hindsight) assumed KDE implied for Linux only. I'll keep it in mind for the next time.

And yes, Blender would have been overkill, but I might've gone that route if Openshot didn't work out.

KDE actually has a lot of software on Windows (and is about to even put them on the MS/Windows store, if it hasn't already), in particular when it comes to content creation and document stuff - Krita, Okular, Kate, to name a few. And Kdenlive, of course.

Blender is great as well if you happen to be a programmer, as everything is also callable as Python functions. The "built-in docs" in form of hovering over buttons and seeing what the equivalent Python code would be, makes it super easy to script together one-off scripts for doing things like "Add 300 video clips with a 100ms fade-in-out between all of them".

I recently went through a large video editing project on Ubuntu. Really wanted to use DaVinci resolve but it had multiple hard crashes and just wouldn’t open for some reason, doesn’t seem like they support Linux as well as Mac and windows.

I ended up using Blender, and while it’s powerful and super useful to be able to link scenes from other files, one huge missing feature is support for videos of varying frame rates. If your videos don’t match, the audio will be either much longer or much shorter than the video clips.

Had a few hard crashes too and lots of bugs, but definitely usable.

Oh gods. The Blender VSE is.... Technically professional-grade, but also isn't even multi-threaded. Switching to it from Kdenlive certainly felt like graduating, especially back when Kdenlive crashed every half hour or so, but honestly just use Kdenlive.

Middle-school-me's still waiting for Lightworks's free Linux release. Are Avidemux, Kino, Cinelerra, PiTiVi still around?

As a daily Blender user... Never recommend the Blender Video Sequence Editor. Ever. I do everything in-camera just so I don't have to deal with that thing. It is powerful, but it's powerful in the same way plate tectonics is.
