Until we provide binary packages please as you distro’s maintainers to update the packages.
Happy editing.
Congratulations for the new release!
I had discovered kdenlive some time ago, around the 0.9.6 release. I was rather saddened when the development came to a temporary stop – the more I was happy to see that the project was revived last year. After some “slightly bumpy” first KDE5 releases, 16.08 is now the best and most stable kdenlive ever.
I am looking forward to see more fantastic releases every 4 months (+bugfix releases) and wish you all the best!
Just a comment to add to the sentiment that yes, it is really great that Kdenlive have gone so far. It’s a huge milestone in Linux and libre filmmaking. Congratulations to all the developers.

Thanks for the great effort you make.
We are going to update it soon, meanwhile stay put for the release of the AppImage package to hopefully solve all this issues soon.
I have already Kdenlive 16.08.1. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
Can’t wait to see AppImage / Snap / Flatpak of Kdenlive! Keep up the great work of yours 🙂
Thanks to you for your wonderful work

Capture crashed, please check your parameters <— When I tryin' to Capture Audio from a USB Mic
(Linux Mint 18 MATE)
Gabriel,
there is a workaround: “arecord -l” lists my audio recording devices, with card 2 being my USB mixer to which I’ve hooked up my studio mic. A quick google for ffmpeg and recording audio tells me to use the “-f alsa” option, with “-i hw:x,y”. It’s audio card 2, sub device 0. So I can do recording from Kdenlive using this profile:
-f alsa -i hw:2,0 -crf 25 -ab 192k -vcodec libx264 -acodec libvorbis -preset veryfast -threads 0
Please see also this bug report for some background discussion.
Hi, I think I have the same issue..
Kubuntu 16.04
Trying to Capture video and audio from a USB device.
arecord -l
lydkort 2: Relo [WIS Matrix Relo], enhed 0: go7007 []
Underenheder: 1/1
Underenhed #0: subdevice #0
Video works fine, but no audio.
If trying to use JACK. Crashes/freezes Kdenlive.
Best regards
