Kdenlive packages available for testing

by Farid Abdelnour | Oct 24, 2016 | News | 26 comments

Getting the correct dependencies and up to date version of required libraries has always been a challenge for Kdenlive users. So we are pleased to announce that we now provide binary packages for download. These packages contain the latest Kdenlive development version (git master), as well as current development versions of MLT, Frei0r, OpenCV. The GPU movit library is not included at this stage. There might be some performance hit due to the nature of the formats, but these packages will be most helpful to debug and test the alpha/beta versions so that we can provide better releases. It will also help to identify issues linked to missing dependencies or outdated libraries on your system.

So if you are ready, you can download Kdenlive’s first AppImage here:
http://download.kde.org/unstable/kdenlive/16.12/linux/
Then, simply make the file executable and run it! In a terminal:



chmod a+x kdenlive-16.12-alpha1-x86_64.AppImage
./kdenlive-16.12-alpha1-x86_64.AppImage

We also provide a Snap package available for testing on Ubuntu distros:



sudo snap install --edge --force-dangerous --devmode kdenlive-devel
kdenlive-devel

The snap package is in the edge channel and requires “devmode” because of current limitations in the snap format.

These packages will not touch your system’s libraries, and can easily be removed. Please leave your feedback in the comments or on our mailing list(registration required) / forums.

We will provide several updates to this packages before the Kdenlive 16.12 release so that you can follow the development / bug fixes.

Getting the following error in Manjaro KDE:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “xcb”
in “”.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  Could you try starting the AppImage using this command:
  QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./kdenlive-16.12-alpha1-x86_64.AppImage
  And paste the output here ?

Also on Manjaro KDE:
$ QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./kdenlive-16.12-alpha1-x86_64.AppImage

This is awesome. I’ve been hoping that more devs would use Appimage/Flatpak/Snaps to allow people to go at a faster pace than the repos for certain programs without having to resort to their distro’s version of Sid/Rawhide/etc.

Rock on!
probono on October 24, 2016 at 9:09 PM

You might be running into https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/issues/83 here. As a temporary workaround, you might want to install libselinux from your distribution’s package manager or delete libEGL.so.1 from the AppImage.
- Cyril on October 25, 2016 at 11:51 AM
  
  Thanks pronobo, it works!
  
  I reproduce a problem I have with the stable version, zoom & pan effect does not show any option.
  Here I see an error message in the terminal:
  [filter avfilter.zoompan] Unexpected return format
  
  Something else I need to install?
  - The DiveO on October 25, 2016 at 12:29 PM
    
    Don’t use the avfilter zoom and pan, use the normal scale, zoom and pan effect. Make sure that you have the frei0r filters/plugins installed.
Daniel Holbach on October 25, 2016 at 7:34 AM

–force-dangerous should not be necessary if installing from the store. It’s just used locally.
Agung Rianto Blog on October 25, 2016 at 1:47 PM

Thanks for the packages! i’ve try it
tojo72 on October 25, 2016 at 9:46 PM

AppImage is a very good idea!!!
Thank you for this hard work!
JohannesW on October 26, 2016 at 2:07 PM

Awesome! This should help to easily test new features and fixes allowing fast feedback.

Unfortunately same error on Manjaro XFCE:

Hmmm… I also just noticed that one essential filter is missing from kdenlive at this time which I needed to use for basically all my underwater videos with kdenlive 0.97: The frei0r colgate filter – see https://www.mltframework.org/plugins/FilterFrei0r-colgate/
gecko on November 1, 2016 at 9:12 PM

kdenlive in appimage is a great job, is stable and you can work well, good.
I would contribute starting to report any bugs, for example if you create a slideshow with the slide animation, when you go to view them kdenlive closes and crashes
gecko on November 1, 2016 at 9:19 PM

The “clip jobs”> “autosplit scenes” does not work. If launched part, the work progress line indicates that is proceeding, but in the end nothing happens. It ‘a shame because this is one of the most useful video editing functions
qubodup on November 5, 2016 at 6:09 PM

Wow! Glad to see this kind of development.

Doesn’t work on Arch Linux 64bit:

$ ./kdenlive-16.12-alpha1-x86_64.AppImage

kdenlive: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- Nixon on December 24, 2016 at 3:36 AM
  
  Same here. Drop the dependency on SELinux for alpha3 and we should be good to go…
Brickmart on November 7, 2016 at 6:20 PM

This developement is VERY much appreciated as it will let me use kdenlive again. However at this time, it does not run for me on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS, 64bit. Trying to run kdenlive-devel just gives me this:

ewwwwfully bad design on November 10, 2016 at 4:07 PM

From us editors: This attempted SPAM really has literary qualities in the way how bad it is, kind of Internet Dada. Enjoy!

kdenlive with appimage is a wonderful task, is usually firm and work efficiently, beneficial.
We would play a role noticed that you document almost any parasites, one example is when you make a slideshow while using the fall toon, when you go to check out these individuals kdenlive closes in addition to fails. (lots of links removed)

Still wondering what kind of parasites these designers mean, surely not a self-reference? Seems to be a really bad case of Google Translatism, me thinks. These SPAMmers really must be desparate!
