I am trying out multiple video editors on Fedora, with very poor results and a ton of crashes. Anyone have recommendations on how to stablize one of these or can you recommend a video editor that just works (like kdenlive used to when I used it last a year ago)?
I am having the same results on two Fedora 25, 64-bit systems, fully updated. The packages are from rpmfusion and on one of the two systems from unitedrpms. My main system is an older 6-core AMD with 8G of RAM so it should handle it.
The files I am testing with are: JPG images from a DSLR Quicktime from my DSLR (MVI_xxx.MOV), Movie from my Android phone xxxxxxxxx.m2ts Movie from a DVD xxx.mpg Movie from a digital camcorder (Sony AVCHD): xxxx.MTS
KDENLIVE: My goto editor was Kdenlive, but it won't open files. I keep getting "clip is invalid". The terminal outputs:
mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so (/lib64/libavdevice.so.57: symbol av_buffersink_get_sample_aspect_ratio, version LIBAVFILTER_6 not defined in file libavfilter.so.6 with link time reference)
I think there is a lib miss-match.
PITIVI: Pitivi is nice, but I can't keep it running. Multiple core dumps.
OPENSHOT:
I really love OpenShot. I tried the one from rpmfusion and it crashed all the time, for example when trying transitions. I also tried the latest version via AppImage:
OpenShot-v2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage
This seemed much more stable, but I could still crash it with transitions, adding an MP3 file for audio, etc.
Anyone have a good, stable video editor or have suggestions on how to run one of these in a stable platform?
Note, I am filing bug reports on many of these crashes....
Thanks, -- Wade Hampton

I've never gotten any video editor on linux to work well, but for just editing out commercials from shows I download from my TiVo, I've been using a bunch of scripts that use ffmpeg to cut and encode the bits between commercials then concat them back together. An earlier version of the scripts I use now is on my web page at:
http://tomhorsley.com/game/ffmpeg.html
OK (but complicated and slow) for linear editing, but if that's all you need you might be able to steal some of the ideas.

I haven't used a video editor for a while, but I found that avidemux worked OK for the simple tasks I was doing (cutting out video). I used the qt version, though I think it comes in a gtk version as well. At least, it used to.
I've also done what Tom recommended, used ffmpeg to just truncate video. It can do really sophisticated things with filters, and parallel pipelines, and sound. But it is command line rather than gui. And to use it properly, I think I would have to be more knowledgeable about video.
And I've meant to, but haven't got around to learning, and using, blender. I think that might be overkill for your needs if they are simple.

In the past I was using Cinellerra (CV version), but it was not on Fedora.
Now, when i run Fedora (and I'm quite happy with it), I can recommend Shotcut (https://shotcut.org/).
Sincerely, Gour
Have you looked at Blender It has a pretty good video editing system Roger

A few months ago, my son had to edit a video for school. This was the only one that was stable enough to finish the project.

Yes, you should figure out what's happening here.
What is the output of: rpm -qf /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so /lib64/libavdevice.so.57
On F25, mine is: mlt-freeworld-6.4.1-1.fc25.x86_64 libavdevice-3.1.7-1.fc25.x86_64
Recently, I had some (not too extensive) sessions in video editing - cutting an mp4 file, adding some transitions, recode to mp4 again, without a single crash, using Flowblade. See also: https://opensource.com/life/16/9/10-reasons-flowblade-linux-video-editor?sc_...

For me, the best was Cinelerra!
The installation of Fedora do not work like like a charm (but I'm not expert)
So, this http://www.bandshed.net/avlinux/ was the solution for me.
Another nice try could be: http://blog.rabin.io/linux/building-cinelerracv-for-fedora-22-under-docker

I haven't tried it, but that sounds like the best approach. Get someone else to do the mind-numbing work of figuring out which versions of which libraries are compatible together and use their solution. All the linux multimedia projects seem to thrive on making incompatible changes every 15 or 20 minutes (and they all depend on each other :-).
You could probably even use it in fedora by unpacking the ISO and using lots of PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables (or if that doesn't work, use chroot).
I did not realize that unpacking the ISO could be a really nice idea...
To my next work with videos, I will try it, for sure.
Thanks a lot

One suggestion was Cinelerra. I tried the GG version 5.1 and it worked. However it would play and not stop. Also, I rendered to WEBM and the result was purple.
I loaded handbrake and it wanted me to erase some program and install a new ffmpeg. That fixed kdenlive which now works great on Fedora.
I hope that the developers of pitivi and OpenShot can fix the stability issues.
Another suggestion was bandshed. I'll have to check it out:

Why not fedora spin for cinelerra? It would not be great?

I haven't tried it out myself yet, but I just discovered that "flowblade" is available in rpmfusion.

There is also LightWorks (https://www.lwks.com). There's an RPM available for Fedora, although the software does require you to have a lightworks account but it's free.
Allegedly, on or about 26 May 2017, Wade Hampton sent:

When I tried this, long ago, I came across the same thing. As well as; all the video formats you need are encumbered, and probably not even available for purchase, and a lot of transcoding was required (which is not only an awful lot of time wasting, but you lose quality doing that).
I gave up, and used Final Cut Pro on my friend's Mac.
