I remember someone said they had an issue where kdenlive crashed for them or something like that and it made me think kdenlive is prone to crashes so that was why i was unsure.
Now that i think about it, i wonder if it was just a problem occurring to them for some reason.
(Edited the post aswell too.)
If a video editing software crashing on occasion was ground for concern, no one would use Adobe Premiere anymore
Fair enough.
I use kdenlive and its great, but if you have low ram like me, make sure to save and reopen the project to clear up older clips from ram. I also reopen the project before rendering. Perhaps there is a better approach, but i have found this to work and prevent crashes.
