Why the free and open-source Kdenlive is all you need for editing video

Name me one video editing software. I bet you thought of Adobe Premiere Pro. A few years ago, I would have been in the same camp. It's one of the more popular choices for a few reasons, largely because it's feature-rich and powerful, but also part of Adobe's cloud subscription service. If you're looking at ways to save some money, however, Kdenlive is an open-source video editing suite you should consider trying. It's completely free, open-source, and powerful, making it one of the best Premiere Pro alternatives out there.
