You're making many claims. Do you know Jeff Moe? BLAG 
deliberately stays behind Fedora by a version for solid reasons. 
It tries to be a slighly 'late' Fedora that just works, and it 
features compiled versions of many A/V programs that aren't 
available elsewhere - that's changing now, but, they were in 
front of the curve in many areas for awhile.

I don't know Dan Sawyer so I can't speak to him, but there are 
many Linux video writers and many claiming to do 'professional 
video production' -- if he claims he's doing professional video 
on Kdenlive, I would like to see that, but until I do...

If you're keen to try kdenlive, why don't you package it 
yourself? There are some very straightforward instructions here:
