The refactoring branch of Kdenlive is progressing nicely and we hope to merge our code to master in the last days of october to meet the KDE Applications 17.12 release schedule. Today we updated the AppImages of both stable and refactoring branch.
Fixes for stable include:
- Rotate from image center in Transform effect (requires latest MLT git included in AppImage)
- Workaround KAutoSaveFile bug (previously autosave was disabled if your project name had a space in it).
- Fix keyframes unusable on bin clip effects
Fixes for refactoring include:
- Implement copy/paste of clips in timeline
- Unselect clips when clicking in empty timeline space
- Title clips: use the first words as clip title instead of “Title clip”
- Various crash bugfixes
Both AppImages also benefit these fixes:
- Fix no audio output issue
- Fix performance issue in KToolBar causing high CPU usage

Our next Kdenlive café will happen on the 30th of october 2017 at 9pm (CET), so see you there!
We also plan to make a few changes to our website in the next weeks, so stay tuned!
In testing the latest refactoring appimage, I noticed that dragging a clip from the Project Bin to the Timeline doesn’t automatically split the audio and video.
I remember this being discussed in a few different places, but was there ever a decision made as to whether Kdenlive would automatically split audio & video to dedicated tracks in this upcoming (and future) releases?
The discussion made it seem like it’d happen further down the road. It was brought up to make it easier to implement new features but I don’t think they’ll get to it until they’re ready to start adding those new features and right now refactoring and bug fixes are highest priority.
I really like having audio and video not split and giving me the option to do it. I hope that remains.
Hi Jesse,
Yes splitting audio from video will definitely be available in 17.12 release and is in our release blocker list. What is not clear yet is if we switch to an always splitted mode, or if we still allow “mixed” clips. There are good arguments for both sides
I have tried to install the lasted stable version, and even after installing one Dependency, it still does not install on Fedora 26.
The Fedora system is all up-to-date with Updates.
To help, this is the error message that I get. 😉

Please report the bug in the tracker so that we can look into it.
Thanks.
Hi Farid,
Okay, I shall do.
Thank you for your reply. 🙂
there are some fixes coming for COMPOSITE AND TRANSFORM? i’ve a lot of issues when overlapping 2 titles with this effect… (for example.. fading efefct of title1 applyed on title 2 automatically .. overriding the title 2 fade…)asking for this because titles are present on all my KDEnlive projects.
Please report this issue in the bug tracker (in case it isn’t there yet) preferably with a detailed step-by-step explanation so that a dev can have a look at it.
Thanks.
not releated to testing process, but question about render performance with using GPU.
There is functionality to render with GPU, but it is buggy, several times I got black screen on output, or video without some affects on it.
Will be there gpu render sometime?
Technically this depends on MLT, so it needs to be implemented there. Maybe you can help out making it happen. 🙂
I was C developer long time ago, if you can help me t start and setup sandbox, yes I can help I have willing
Probably the best way to start would be to look at the documentation of MLT:
Then you may ask for some pointers at MLT’s mailing list for help.
Also check out MOVIT, an effects GPU processing library.
Hope that helps you getting started. 🙂
