## What it is
Flowblade is a multitrack non-linear video editor for Linux built with Python on the MLT framework. It supports cutting clips, applying image/audio filters, compositing, and rendering movies from video, audio, and graphics files.

## Use cases
- edit videos on linux
- cut and trim video clips on a timeline
- add filters and color correction to footage
- create multilayer video composites with keyframed animation
- render and encode movies in batch
- create animated text titles for videos

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-source multitrack video editor on Linux
- you want timeline-based editing with compositors, filters, and transitions
- you need batch encoding or media re-linking in a desktop editor

## When to avoid
- you need a video editor on Windows or macOS, since Flowblade is Linux-only
- you want a simple one-click or mobile video editor
- you need collaborative or cloud-based video editing
