Looking for video editing software

[Brian Cluff]

The 2.4.1 version of Openshot is actually a complete rewrite of using 
totally different technologies (libopenshot instead of the MeLT 
framework), so in a lot of ways it's a lot less mature than the "older" 
version 1.3.

You were probably better off with the latest of the first generation of 
OpenShot.

Try Kdenlive, the 9.6 version in Trusty wasn't terrible, and it was 
definitely already the most capable editor back then.  It probably won't 
crash with what you want to do with it, but even if it does it's got a 
very good emergency save mechanism that will allow you to pick and 
continue where you left off... just make sure that you have it saved at 
least once.  I usually create a new project and immediately save it 
where I want it to make sure that I get the emergency save functionality 
kicked in.
