Lightworks should run on Linux. It was used to edit Pulp Fiction, The Wolf of Wall Street and other blockbuster movies.

I used it on Windows a while ago and my basic requirements were met, despite the free version having some limitations (like export resolution and formats).

LOVE Lightworks But I have moved on to Davinci Resolve which is also on Linux. Lightworks workflow is the best but the learning curve is more like a cliff.

Davinci Resolve seriously might be the biggest Video Editor on all three platforms int he next three years. Highly recommended.

Yeah, especially with that free tier exporting up to 4k/60fps. Then you get the node compositing and souped up mixer for audio. I had to switch to an nvidia driver to get it working on Kubuntu but it works great. For me, it only crashes only when using a specific few filter effects. But I now use the massive filter set that was bundled with Natron so I don't even need DaVinci's bundled filters.

If you can get it working, the thing's a glorious beast.

Not sure I'd call it a cliff, I've never done video editing before and over the last two weeks I've create 3 videos using it and been pretty happy with it. I really want to try Davinci Resolve, but I'll need to try installing it again, had problems last time.

Davinci Resolve is good, however rather unstable on Linux in my experience. I've tried it on a couple of distros and kept getting random crashes every so often.

I'm on OpenSUSE Leap and it has been rock solid. I had it on a rolling release on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and it was a problem with all the updates.

When I use Linux for Audio and Video I DON'T update the computer and I don't have anything else really on that image. I use a second image for non-Audio/Video production. I did the same thing with Windows for decades.

Did you have to use http://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb ? I found the entire installation process on Ubuntu a bit of a pain (even though it did work) - I think the instability on my system is probably as a result of the rather convoluted installation steps.
