    anyone out there who used recently openshot AND kdenlive? How do they compare today?
    From the screenshots alone openshot seems to be kind of limited in functionality in comparison to kdenlive. Is this true?

      Isn't OpenShot part of the "standard desktop"? If so, then there's no way kdenlive be better </sarcasm>

        Have experience with openshot recently (did a few Youtube videos), had experience with kdenlive a few years back (prepared a short demos for a presentation).

        Kdenlive is your run-of-the-mill video editing tool trying to be as close as possible to other similar typical applications (the way LibreOffice tried to imitate and replace MS-Office back when it was still called StarOffice and MS-Office hadn't started looking weird with ribbon).

        Openshot tries a different route : it tries to be as simple-looking as possible and as easy to get your hands on and intuitive as possible.
        (there are a lot of things that you can achieve simply by drag'n'drop-ing objects around. Effects and transition are the most obvious one.
        e.g.: Just drop 2 clips overlapping on the same time-line and openshot will automatically cross-fade them)

        Still, under the hood, it has quite a few possibilities (relies on standard control-points and property-value modifications) :
        Though most can be accessed using intuitive menus: Right-click a clip and then look for something like "Slide vertically into view, fast" (instead of putting control-points modifying the Y-position property of the clip).

        It might not be "After Effect" (so forget about real-time object tracking and applying a virtual logo on a moving object), but it got you covered for most of your needs if you want to publish a nice-looking video on youtube.

        This "simple intuitive look" is the main reason why it looks like it can only put clips on the timeline on the screen shot.

          I see an issue with tons of software, including Free Software: Monolithic design.

          The UNIX way could be made in different ways, not just a set of apps and scripts that does everything magically (awk, sed, shell, bc...). The key is reusable quality code.

          Good examples: FFMpeg
