Based on the other responses to this, I'd say it really varies from person to person.
In my case, Kdenlive does in fact tend to crash often the longer I use it in a single session. It tends to get unstable on my system after around 2-3 hours of continuous work.
I remember losing an hour's worth of progress once, and from that point I've been saving my stuff compulsively. At least it taught me good habits!
DaVinci Resolve has a free version and is made by an Australian company.
Kdenlive is open source and from a non-profit registered in Germany.
Can highly recommend kdenlive
Kdenlive is amazing and crazy intuitive. I went in knowing nothing and was able to make great stuff.
I haven't tried it myself, because I hear it's very crash-happy. Have you had better experiences?
I’ve not used it extensively but never had it crash and it’s also undergone several large patches in recent times. Give it a go, it’s free after all.
Thanks! I will.

I've done around 8 videos, ~3 minute in length, each with several clips, many effects, audio track, not a single crash ever.
I've been hearing good things about kdenlive. I just saw a thread a while ago saying how much better it is now
Kdenlive is amazing and keeps getting better. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's name is silly.
KDE software in general is great!
I have done several smaller projects in kdenlive. Works great!
Ive been learning video editing with Shotcut recently. Its FOSS
I think we should go
FOSS non-profit > European proprietary > American proprietary
I seriously question anyone who prioritises european proprietary software over a FOSS non-profit.
