Kdenlive 0.8 released

Submitted by j-b-m on Tue, 04/26/2011 - 21:37

We are proud to announce the release of Kdenlive 0.8. This new version brings several new features, including improved UI, proxy clips, audio monitoring, HDMI output, new effects and more.

As usual, Kdenlive benefits from the recent improvements in the MLT framework(version 0.7 is required) and Frei0r effects(version 1.3 is recommended) projects.

You can find a detailed list of changes on the Kdenlive 0.8 information page.

Update (2nd of May 2011):
MLT 0.7.2 was just released, all users are encouraged to upgrade.

Source code can be downloaded from our sourceforge page, and packages will be announced on our download page when available.

Support can be found in our forums and issues reported on our bugtracker.

We hope you will enjoy this release!

For the Kdenlive team:
Jean-Baptiste Mardelle

I want to let everyone know that a new Mlt version 0.7.2 will be out within the next few days, and I strongly encourage everyone using Kdenlive 0.8 to upgrade (or notify distro package maintainer) to it as soon as it becomes available.

Congrats to all Kdenlive devs and testers for this new release!

My wish for 0.9, a preview render for effects feature, discussed some while ago there:
http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/preview-render-effects

This would greatly improve Kdenlive user experience when using effects. Even for simple ones, real-time preview drops frames and eventually becomes painfully slow with HD video or aging hardware.

Cheers!

Dear kdenlive team,

just want to add another big Thank You! to all of you.
This release is a great step toward a 1.0 release - please take a rest now after your hard work.

Greetings

Jonathan

P.S.:
A side note to all Ubuntu users:
On a fresh natty system I had to install libavformat-extra-52 to get proxy editing working, at least with the standard options (due to acodec=libmp3lame).
