I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works.
Same here, though I never tried as hard as you obviously have, and not since more than a year ago when...
(from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
...I was running 13.1, or maybe before that, was when I was still running 11.4. I recently moved to 42.1 on this machine, but I have every OS release multiply installed on others.
I could try on Leap, but I don't expect much difference. Multimedia software typically comes from packman, with some exceptions.
Shouldn't be so hard to find something that just works - seriously. Digital video's been around a long time. Still...
It is...
1-How old is your machine? Intel, or AMD CPU? Shouldn't make a difference, but maybe? Is it one that sports more than one hardware audio "device"?
It is a intel core duo with 4 cores, and 8 GB. Not young, but still powerful. I can convert 4 movies with 4 simultaneous ffmpeg processes in a reasonable time. The HD also imposes a limit on video conversion, and the machine has a minimum of 4.
2-Exactly how are you capturing, and into which file/container type? Those I need to edit AFAICT are raw transport streams, .ts files saved by DVB satellite receivers.
In this case, it is also transport streams, but coming via fibre, generated by kodi with a special plugin that talks with my provider.

3-Could those crashing be victims of Packman build and/or versioning problems that might go away after some time passes and updating?
Dunno. Maybe. Some of those crashes I have seen for months. I was reading a magazine comparison article on video editors for Linux, and the chap said that kdenlive crashed a lot on the distro he was using and had to use another distro where it was stable. I'll post the link later, it is on another machine.
4-Could those crashing be interface type victims? Maybe try them in a different DE session type, XFCE instead of Gnome, LXQT instead of KDE??? Use gtk interface rather than qt, or vice versa?
I'm using XFCE... The last editor I'm testing is flowblade. I told it to convert a clip of 5 minutes, and it has been chugging along for 95 minutes already. I must have done it wrong. I read the manual and didn't understand a thing: plain text manual in html with no figures, no samples. Just a text description valid for people that already know how to use a video editor. :-/ - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
