All the ones that keep getting recommended have a UI like a cockpit of a Boeing 747 (kdenlive, shotcut, openshot, DaVinci resolve) which is so overwhelming, all I want is just make some cuts, blur a face, or something on the screen, and maybe add some subtitles.
I just want something simple, I am not gonna make the next Avatar movie.
I have a feeling there is nothing like this on linux but hey maybe one of you actually knows of one.


Kdenlive is a bit intimidating at first but if you take the time to watch a tutorial or 2 and figure out what you can remove from the standard layout it can be quite easy to use and works very well. I don’t use 90% of the features but I like that they are available if I ever need them.
I havn’t done much of anything in kdenlive but I already use premier pro and I thought maybe i’d try kdenlive it can’t be too different right? I’m sure it’s not too bad but I was completely stuck without using any tutorials.
