In an hours use, I am seeing 5 or more instances where the application
closes and I lose work. On 3 occasions the project is unusable, I have
to start again.
Hence my look for an alternative.

Thanks. Shotcut has far fewer deps than Lightworks, which blacklists nouveau.
We know nothing about the video format you are using or your hopes, but
it seems to me unlikely that the card-swap that you suggested will
achieve anything. Are you committed to using nouveau? My experience on
much older hardware wasn't impressive and I returned to nvidia-304 as
soon as it re-stabilised - although I still have suspicions about its
current rpmfusion fc25 implementation. A more recent nvidia driver
would be appropriate for your current card. I do a lot of video-cutting
work, but it's mainly mythtv-specific with older intel hardware.
