Kdenlive 16.12 will be released very soon, and we are trying to fix as many issues as possible. This is why we are organizing a Bug squashing day, this friday, 2nd of december 2016 between 9am and 5 pm (Central European Time – CET).
Kdenlive needs you
There are several ways you can help us improve this release, depending on your skills or interests. During the bug squashing day, Kdenlive developers will be reachable on IRC at freenode.net, channel #kdenlive to answer your questions. A collaborative notepad has also been created to coordinate the efforts.
If you have some interest / knowledge in coding:
You can download Kdenlive’s source code and find instructions on our wiki. We will also be available on friday on IRC to help you setup your development environment. You can then select an ‘easy bug‘ from the notepad list and then look at the code to try to fix it. Feel free to ask your questions on IRC, the developers will guide you through the process, so that you can get familiar with the parts of the code you will be looking at.
If you are a user and encounter a bug:
You can help us by testing the Kdenlive 16.12 RC version. Our easy to install AppImage and snap packages will be updated on the 1rst of december with the latest code (Ubuntu users can also use our PPA). This will allow you to install the latest version without messing with your system. You can then check if a bug is still there is the latest version, or let us know if it is fixed.
So feel free to join us this friday, this is your chance to help the world of free software video editing !
For the Kdenlive team,
Jean-Baptiste Mardelle

but… I’ve already installed Frei0r and the codecs
Ubuntu Studio 16.04
Same thing here on Kubuntu 16.10 with libvpx3 (version 1.50-4) and frei0r-plugins (version 1.4-3build2) packages already installed.
Are you using the AppImage ? It should anyways use frei0r embedded inside the AppImage. I will try it on other systems to see if I can reproduce the problem.
yes! I use the last appimage (with problems) and the last .deb 16.08.2 (without problems)
Yes, using the appimage
Ok, I solved the Frei0r issue and will publish an updated AppImage as soon as Kdenlive 16.12 is ready. Will also have a look at that CPU usage.
Other than frei0r and vpx, I also have 88% CPU usage since alpha2, even when Kdenlive is idle. I don’t get this with alpha1.
Still talking about AppImage, I forgot to mention.

this portion is not installing . I tried to install KF5 also . Having also problem there . I amr using Debian 8 64bit
Please Help
Looks like KDE Frameworks 5 is not available on Debian 8 Jessie. You need Debian Stretch to get KF5, so compiling Kdenlive on Jessie is probably not the best idea, sorry.
Thanks Jean-Baptiste Mardelle for your reply .
if i have to run the source code of kdenlive in debian 8 jessie what i have to do then ???
do i have to install KDE Frameworks 4 or change the os ??
If you want to get the latest Kdenlive version, I recommend that you upgrade your OS to something that contains KDE Frameworks 5, because it is a requirement for Kdenlive and also it is preferable to get a fairly recent OS to get up to date FFmpeg libraries
