Hi!
It’s great to have a new release with so many bug fixes: thanks for the hard work!
Every time there’s a new release, I test whether the problem importing slideshow clips (possibly due to Unicode issues) has been fixed, but it hasn’t been the case so far. I opened a thread some time ago, but I haven’t received feedback for a long time. This is the link in case somebody wants to have a look:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408730
Hey, I’m really glad about the quick succession of new releases! After 19.12 didn’t make it to the repos for Linux Mint 19.3 (based on Ubuntu 18.04), I was excited to see this one pop up. Unfortunately, it segfaults when I try to run it. Any ideas?
(I have the 19.12 appimage on my PC, perhaps there’s a conflict?)

That seems to be a packaging issue? The AppImages are self-contained binaries so you can have many versions at the same time. Can you tru downloading the 19.12.1 AppImage and see if it works. Btw, since Mint is based on Ubuntu you will only be able to get packages from repos once Ubuntu updates to 20.04.
Hey Farid, thanks so much for your quick answer. I already suspected that 19.12.1 from the PPA simply wasn’t compatible with Ubuntu 18.04 (and thus, Mint 19.3), since 19.12 wasn’t either. I was still a bit surprised that it showed up in my update manager today 🙂
I’m gonna stick with the AppImage then. btw, it does seem to save some settings externally, because when I removed the 19.12 AppImage and ran the 19.12.1 AppImage, many of my preferences from the previous version were still there, as was my project history.
You can remove you config file: ~/.config/kdenlive-appimagerc
See here for more details:
https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Configuration
Nice, thanks!! I was wondering where the config file was and for some reason I didn’t find the article you linked to.
I put that file into my Dropbox and made a symlink to it, so I can use it on all my PCs.
Thank you 🙂
Many thanks to the developers for this new release, I love kdenlive!
With Farid’s great help I already learned how to horizontally scroll the timeline, but is there a way to automatically scroll the timeline to the current position of the playhead? Ideally using a keyboard shortcut. Suppose I scroll around the timeline to look at a different part of the project and want to quickly come back to the point I am currently editing…
Don’t think there is a shortcut to go to the playhead, but just clicking left or right you’ll move one frame and the focus will be at the playhead. Just a workaround, there might be better solutions though…
I’m curious what features will be released on 20.04 kdenlive?
Update manager had the kdenlive update so I installed and now it won’t open nor will the AppImage. Oddly enough, I can’t find an earlier version to reinstall. I see from the comment above that it won’t work with Ubuntu 18.04. Wish I would have known that sooner!
Hi — I have about 300 project files organized into folders. I loaded the folders into the project in. Kdenlive failed to complete creating proxy files. Further, when I try to scroll or use the slider bar to move to file to create the missing proxies, the system crashed every time. I really don’t want to fill the bin with single files, it would really be a mess to edit.
Has anyone else encountered a problem with the project bin?
Running: Mint 19.03, W520 Lenovo, i7, 24gb, 512SSD … running current stable appimage.
Can you please tell where are the generated scripts stored in Linux systems?
I can see that a .mlt file listed in the “Scripts” tab of the Rendering Dialog, after having clicked the “Generate Script” button, but I cannot find the .mlt file in any kdenlive related directory (not in the “scripts” directory, not in $HOME/kdenlive/scripts/ or any sibling directory, not anywhere in $HOME/.local/share/kdenlive/, not in the mountpoint of the appimage, …, not in any configured or Default folders, … ) ??
Why is this .mlt file listed under “Stored Playlists” and not “Stored Scripts” or something? Is an .mlt file a “playlist” and if so, why using interchangeably two names for the same thing in the “Scripts” tab? Is there a “Playlists” directory somewhere in the filesystem?
Thanks a lot in advance
It goes to your videos folder:
$HOME/Videos/kdenlive-renderqueue/
Thank you so much for your quick reply. It’s indeed there.
Please don’t get me wrong: I love kdenlive.
But please, note this usability complaint:
This is quite odd, unintuitive and messy. I take that this was certainly not thought carefully (not big priority). Think about: Why would one want to have yet another strange and badly named kdenlive project related directory scattered somewhere else other than in …the kdenlive directories that one defines when creating the project or in the defined (and configurable) Default directories (Settings menu) ?
So we end up having an “Script”, that is listed under “Play Lists”, but saved in a “renderqueue” directory as an .mlt file, in a totally unrelated-to-the-kdenlive-project directory that may or may not exist in the user’s home, which even if it exists, it may not be part of the user’s workflow, and it’s not even documented…
Moreover, the $HOME/Videos/ directory woud be understood by many users as a place to deposit …videos. Not some weird advanced video-editing scripts. This directory contaminates that assumption and results in a very scattered and illogic structure of kdenlive files and folders. Please would you consider a less fragmented and complicated estructure when you have some opportunity?
If that would help, should I file a bug report? Please let me know.
Thanks!
Definitely not very well planned. We are focusing on other tasks at the moment. Do open an issue: https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdenlive
Thanks 🙂
I am trying to edit a project that has 198 video clips totalling 38.7 gb …
After proxies were created it filled my disk space and my system halted.
It made 115 proxies at 289.3gb … obviously since these mkv clips are supposed to be lower resolution than the mp4 clips this shouldn’t be an issue.
Running: Mint 19.03, W520 Lenovo, i7, 24gb, 512 SSD … running current stable appimage 19.12.1
Is this something I’ve done wrong with system settings or is it some other issue?
In reference to last msg … the latest 1912.1 is creating multiple mkv files for the original video clips.
I haven’t had time to thoroughly test it but it’s making a lot. I have a project that I need to finish and don’t have time for more testing, but I do think something is definitely wrong.
It also have 4 threads selected for proxies and it pegs all 8 hyper-threads on my i7 system.
I am testing how this all behaves on the latest 18.x appimage and it seems be be much better behaved. It only created 17 proxies for my test 17 mp4 originals. The 17 proxies took 27.3gb while the original files took 2.3 gb. At a roughly 10x proxy to original ration, I don’t think I have a big enough hard drive space to edit my latest project.
I would like to know if these huge and multiple proxy files are normal and what we can expect from this software OR am I doing something wrong in the configuraton?
Note on above 2 comments:
After I did my test on 18x appimage. It created the proper number of files in MOV format.
The sizes were 10x the size of the original clips.
I re-ran the same test on the 19x stable version and now it appears to be working properly. The correct number of files are being created and the sizes are small like they should be.
I’m not sure what happened, but apparently it is some kind of configuration issue. Will post again if I can figure out what exactly happened to create the problem and solve it.
Real mystery at this point.
19.12.1 is looking good.
You seem to have set your proxies as prores maybe? They can get huge in size! Maybe you ended up using 19.12.1 with default proxy profile…
Problem seems to have cleared up. I didn’t change any settings to ProRes, I always left them in the default Automatic setting. I am pretty sure this was some kind of settings issue that occurred when It filled up my HHD and I deleted a bunch of files to make recover the space. There were over 200gb of proxies and other “cached” files that I deleted. All seems to be doing ok now.
