This version adds a Reverse clip option to Clip Jobs that creates a backwards clip.The list of audio/video bitrates can now be customized in custom rendering profiles. New release also fixes several bugs and crashes, including a very annoying bug that caused project files to seem corrupted."

    Actually, this is what kdenlive does: it is a GUI frontend for the CLI MltMelt tool (http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/MLT/MltMelt). Given, it is one command which does everything instead of multiple small commands, but there is still a separation between the program doing the work and the program providing the GUI.

    Imagine a world where we rewrite all software from scratch every time somebody finds a bug...

    Imagine the job security!

    I'll subscribe to Slashdot when I see a month without a dupe, a typo, or an article the "editors" didn't read.

    .. and didn't introduce new ones.

    Having used it in the past it was a very nice product but I did find it a bit frustrating at times with it's crashes and bugs right in the middle of a project.

    Might have to fire it up again and have a look.

      It's pretty much the best open source video editor out there. It has the right mix of ease of use and functionality - they just need to work on the flakiness. Every now and then when I have need to do video editing, I've looked at the alternatives, and Kdenlive - crashes and all - is the only thing that ever actually does the job.

      The commercial Windows based editors may well work a lot better, but I'll never know, because I'll never use any of them.

      You should try, because serious pro level stuff is not possible on linux yet. and I would gladly pay $500 for a linux video editor on par with even Sony Vegas 9. (They are currently at version 12)

      I would love to edit under linux, but I cant because I need to edit fast and have a stable editing suite. And that is ignoring that there is nothing like After effects or Motion for linux that exists.

      Running an alien OS is a lot of bother.

      "Religious Purity" really has nothing to do with it.

      It's the same bother for a Linux user to dinker with Windows as it is for a Windows user to dinker with Linux. At least the copy of Linux is going to be free.
