What’s the simplest video editor for Fedora KDE?
Asked by

I'm used to simple mobile apps like CapCut and InShot, but the Linux editors I've tried—Shotcut, OpenCut, and Kdenlive—felt too complicated. I only need basic tools for making videos to post on my social media accounts. Are there any beginner-friendly editors you'd recommend for Fedora KDE?
Answers
Avidemux is very lightweight and simple, especially if you mostly need to cut, join, or convert video files. It’s less suited to projects with lots of layers, effects, or titles.

OpenShot is another good fit for simple editing. It’s designed around straightforward tasks like trimming clips, adding transitions, placing text, and exporting a finished video.

Pitivi is probably worth trying first. Its interface is fairly approachable and it covers the basics without overwhelming you with advanced features.

DaVinci Resolve can handle social-media projects, but it’s far more powerful—and complicated—than you probably need. A short beginner tutorial would help, but I’d start with Pitivi or OpenShot instead.

You could also give Kdenlive another chance using proxy clips. They create lower-resolution working copies, which can make playback and editing feel much smoother, although Kdenlive still has a more advanced interface.
