I've tried this tool a few times over the years. It's quite far from being intuitive. Maybe it makes sense to professionals to work in the field full-time, but for a regular mortal who just wants to edit a video, it's impossible to grasp.
Even something as basic as opening a video file is a huge challenge. I can't just open a video file. Instead, I need to "create a new project", which requires that I specify the exact resolution and FPS of the video file beforehand (why!?). After I use a completely separate tool to extract these attributes from the video that I'm editing, I have a blank canvas onto which I can drag the actual video.

Then drag it into the timeline (I just did some googling the first time). The UI is somewhat clumsy but I think it is pretty good that we have an open source video editor.
