    Kudos to the entire team for preparing the Windows port. It will bring you lots of users and, hopefully, developers.
    
    I am waiting impatiently for the Windows release of the current version, because the educational video I prepared that uses “Wipe” transitions looks perfectly correct in timeline preview, but when I render to webm or mp4, it looks different (only the bottom-most line of images appear in Wipe transition).

Ubuntu packages are not updated, I’m subscribed to both testing and stable but only 16.12.1 version is available.
- Aslanex on March 21, 2017 at 7:15 PM
  
  It’s ok now, thanks!
Vincent on March 13, 2017 at 11:47 AM

Cool! But where is it? The repository nor the AppImages have been updated.

Hi ! I would like to thank the whole team for the great work ! I’ve just begun using Kdenlive seriously. I’ve used it during a whole night, and didn’t stumble upon a single bug. I love it, thanks a lot !

  Hi Alan,
  
  Can I ask you how you got the update? I have both stable and testing PPA’s but I get no update. Thanks!
  - tojo72 on March 16, 2017 at 5:02 PM
    
    I subscrive your words!
  - Alan Hagge on March 16, 2017 at 7:15 PM
    
    I subscribed to the testing PPA, but then had to remove my existing kdenlive and kdenlive-data and re-install. I think because of the way that the new version was named (it’s called 16.12+git201703062257~ubuntu16.10.1, where the one from stable is 16.12.1), so apt thought that 16.12.1 > 16.12+git.
    - Vincent on March 16, 2017 at 7:58 PM
      
      That worked! Thanks!
Alan Hagge on March 15, 2017 at 9:50 PM

Woo hoo and thank YOU! The “crash on dragging multiple clips on timeline” bug was driving me crazy, but I wasn’t certain if it was a kdenlive bug or an OS issue. I just tried the new release with a large group of clips and it worked flawlessly – fantastic!

  Don’t hesitate to report the bug, if the devs can reproduce it, they’ll fix it. Also if in doubt search in the bug tracker or forum to see if others have the same issues.
  
  Happy editing
Daniel Rios on March 22, 2017 at 2:27 AM

The best free video editor, Kdenlive is awesome! Kde-runtime should be a recommend, it’s very important to install it to be available breeze dark theme on systems like Ubuntu, for exemple.

Hi and thanks for this new version, but it seems that it’s not possible to render a ProRes 422 HQ file anymore! The former version had two basic Prores 422 settings that you could turn into ProRes 422 HQ adding “properties=lossless/ProRes vprofile=3″… What about this new version? It would be too bad to give up using this wonderful tool because of this!(My clips are shot in ProRes 422 HQ)…

Hi,
Just discovered kdenlive and i’ve been using youtube instruction videos to learn how to use it. i’m using 16.12.3 as per opensuse install and i don;t seem to have access to some features e.g. when you place your pointer on a corner and you get a flashing green indicator to add an effect, i can only right click and get it via the menus – is this a config setting somewhere?
