I like Kdenlive, but for the simple video editing I do (cuts, splices, remove/replace audio, freeze frame etc) the fastest thing is ffmpeg.

I just give an LLM a list of files, a set of steps and timestamps, a directory to work in and have it write a bash script that calls ffmpeg. I just view the source videos with VLC and get the timestamps I want.

I mostly use this to edit my YouTube videos and this really beats importing files, dragging things around and all that and it only takes a few minutes to edit now.
