Linux offers a wide variety of video editing hardware that can be used for a variety of applications, from editing YouTube videos for cats to advanced television productions.

OpenShot is a non-linear, multi-track video editor that offers one of the shallowest learning curves of any editor you'll ever use. The interface is well designed and the feature set is extensive.

You get a wide range of supported formats out of the box (including video, audio, images, and 4K video), curve-based keyframe animations, integrated desktop drag and drop, unlimited tracks and layers, complex clip editing, easy-to-create transitions, real-time previewing, compositing, image overlays, watermarks, title templates, keying, and effects.

OpenShot is considered an all-rounder for video editing and can meet your average editing needs. If you need more complex editing tools, OpenShot may disappoint you. However, with the ease of use associated with this tool, it is suitable for those with little to no experience in video editing. The only caveat when adding animations is that it takes a while to render complicated clips.
