If you’re working in Kdenlive, guides are your friend. As are the razor, slip, and ripple tools (take a moment to really learn them and you’ll save yourself a lot of time).
Also, the alt+arrow keys for navigating between clips on the timeline and ctrl+arrow keys for navigating between guides.
Finally, useful filters: Everything in Motion, Volume and Dynamics (audio fades, etc.), Alpha, Mask, Keying → Obscure (pixellate sensitive stuff).

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •PS. One thing that caught me out: the default project setting was for 1080 resolution at 25fps. Make sure you set it to 30 (or 60 if you’re a gamer, I guess) if you need to and not get caught out like I did as changing the FPS on an existing project throws out all your timings for effects, etc.
PPS. Couldn’t find a dedicated shortcut for centering/left-aligning the timeline at the playhead but Ctrl-plus/minus results in the former.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Here’s a better list of what’s affected when you change the frame rate of an existing project:
• Guide locations are wrong (offset by a certain amount). If there was a way to group all guides and move them together it would be a five-second fix (or if Kdenlive did this automatically so they were correct to begin with). As is, it’s a laboriuous process of moving each guide separately.
• Effects like freeze lose their timecode.

in reply to Trevor Flowers • • •You can also add the ones you like to your favourites (the star button) but they’re not prefixed by group so it can get confusing as some have the same name (eg. Video fade in and Audio fade in both appear as fade in.)
But yeah, if there’s one thing I learned studying film/video production, it’s that you rarely need more than a cut or a fade.
