About Kdenlive
Kdenlive provides a timeline-based editing environment for assembling footage and sound. Its effect controls and project tools support both simple cuts and more involved productions.
Proxy editing can make larger footage easier to work with. Official macOS downloads are available for Intel and Apple Silicon systems.
