Kdenlive, as its name implies, is a KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It is a free software (GPL licensed) primarily aimed at the Linux platform but it works on many systems (*BSD, Windows, MacOS...) as it relies only on portable components (QT and MLT framework).
Non-linear video editing is much more powerful than beginners' (linear) editors, hence it requires a bit more organization before starting. However, it is not reserved to specialists and can be used for small personal projects.
Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation.

- Multitrack edition with a timeline and virtually unlimited number of video and audio tracks, plus facilities for splitting audio and video from a clip in multiple tracks
