The first dot release of the 18.12 series is out with fixes and usability improvements. The most exiting change is the fix for audio capture when recording from screen or webcam, a handy feature for people doing video tutorials.
You can now import keyframes to your effects and use them in other projects. On the usability front the “Gain” effect is now in the correct “Audio correction” category and theming issues in the AppImage are now fixed. Speaking of AppImage, we now have a fully automated build system ready so devs can focus on coding gain.
Don’t forget to check our nightly refactoring branch version which received many fixes during the holidays and is ready for another round of testing.

I’d like to see in the Refactored version a way to switch back and forth from a compositor. Basically, send/receive data from either Blender, Natron, or Blackmagic Fusion. Fusion might have an API to do that, and it’s currently the most powerful compositor for Linux. Blender is ok too, although Natron is currently abandoned (its maintainer called its quits 6 months ago).
Since Natron is GPL and it’s written in Qt, there might be a way for Kdenlive to pick up the project, or fork it, and continue it. In my experience with Sony Vegas many years ago, this is one of the reasons it never got over on the “professional” bandwagon: it wasn’t written with enough color grading tools, or a compositor in mind. Kdenlive should think 3-5 years ahead and the needs people will have for a 3D compositor. I mean, even today, most of the “good” youtube videos contain quite a lot of compositing tricks that aren’t possible with a plain video editor. Thx!
Yes this would be useful. Integration for other programs is on the long term planning. https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/Refactoring_Roadmap
Hello, I have some questions about this program.
Will it support:
– the old but gold Windows 7? (please)
– smart edit, aka the optional feature to cut\join on keyframes without the need to reencode the video? (less disruptive and time-saving)
– subtitles?
– both old (avi,mp4,divx,xvid,mp3,ogg,etc)and new formats & containers? (mkv,x264,x265,ac3,flac,opus,etc)
I would like my Kdenlive, which I am using on Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa Cinnamon on my computer which has 2 Graphics Cards hooked by SLI cable sitting idle while I render. I would like Kdenlive to use those GPU devices to render, that is why I built my computer that way
