Blender has an integrated Video Sequencer and supports 4K cinema resolution, a proof of that is that Sintel, a movie produced with blender, is available for download in 4K :)

You can obviously install Blender from the Ubuntu Software Center.

Openshot, Shotcut,and Kdenlive now support the editing and export of 4K videos.

• Among them, the fastest editor should be Shotcut as it allows you to create optimized media and take utilization of GPU acceleration.
• Kdenlive is stable on Linux system, but temporarily not quite stable on Windows.And it doesn't support GPU acceleration and multi core CPU processing.

• Openshot is buggy and more basic.

Answer 5

You can try using Shotcut (http://www.shotcut.org/bin/view/Shotcut/Features). I haven't tried 4k-Videos it but it says the recent version supports it.
