When it comes to editing videos in Windows, the number of options is very wide and varied, however, not all programs cover the needs that we may have when editing videos. If, in addition to Windows, you also use Linux or are looking for an editor for this operating system, the number of options is reduced even further, as long as we do not use the Kdenlive application.
Kdenlive is a KDE video editor, a project that has been in operation for many years, although it has not had the attention it should, since it offers all the functions that we may need to edit home videos and even for social networks, since it includes support for vertical video formats.
But, the best of all is that it is a free software project, so it does not have any type of limitation that we can find in other types of programs or even in the native Windows video editor Clipchamp.
What we can do with Kdenlive
As we mentioned above, Kdenlive is a free video editor available for Linux, Windows and macOS, an editor that has everything we need to edit video in any format. Whether you want to edit vertical videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, Kdelive is perfect as it also offers support for square videos.
In addition, it also allows you to record the audio independently to add it as an additional audio track. A very interesting functionality especially designed for those users who publish video on social networks is the one that is responsible for adding translated subtitles to the content that is being played.
This function is performed locally, without the need for an Internet connection (although it will be necessary to download additional content). The only thing we have to establish is what the input language is and to which we want to translate them and the application will automatically add them as a new track to the video we are editing to match the timeline.
A very useful function when editing a video is being able to modify all the effects at the same time, a function that we can also find in Kdenlive and that allows us to save a lot of time when we are putting the finishing touches to a video, when at the last minute we decide that the effect should last less time or we simply don’t like it.
It is compatible with all the most popular audio and video formats on the market, so we will not have any problems when editing videos, regardless of the format in which they have been recorded. The application is translated into Spanish, so the language will not be a problem to get the most out of it.
