i thought this question could fit here as this is a community about open source software after all, anyways.. i was gonna do editing for the first time and wanted to use something that's free and open source, i was considering either shotcut or kdenlive but i wanted to at least hear the community's opinion about it, i'll be waiting for the replies. thanks

Can I ask why?

Because the world of software is a mile wide and a foot deep. By the time they tested out both of these and the litany of other "video editing" programs they could have posted this and gotten an answer.

Searching online just gets blog results, junk downloads, and reddit threads

What an odd question. May I ask why you posed it (serious)?

There seems to be some sort of snub in it, but I can't figure out who the target is.

Is it not common sense to ask for advice when you're unsure of something?

I was curious why OP wanted to know the opinion of "the community".

OP didn't ask for advice.

Ah, pedantry. Snubbing OP for using the word 'opinion' instead of 'advice', which, given the context, should be synonymous here. Got it 👍
