When i try to find reviews or people talking about Kdenlive on places like YouTube, I mostly find things that are 2-5 years old at this point and just seem relatively outdated. Does it have an active community of users? Is it worth using in 2025? I think it seems really promising but i haven't given it a shot yet.

Edit: up to this point I've been a user of premier pro and more recently DaVinci resolve

Another edit for further context: I wouldn't say I'm a "professional editor" but I'm not just making simple cuts either. I make video essays on YouTube and my style is pretty edit heavy. Lots of text, sometimes I'll have like 10 things on screen at once, etc

It’s a perfectly serviceable NLE but it’s very, very far from feature parity with the big 3. So if you’re not a professional I’d say rock and roll. If you are a professional, you can’t produce the deliverables expected of you with this software.
