On October the 13th, the Italian broadcaster Mediaset showed a 2-minute clip during the prime-time Comedy Show Honolulu on its Italia 1 channel. This is that clip:
The “News from the Future” segment was produced using Kdenlive, and that is a milestone for our community because, along with the recent inclusion of Kdenlive in ASWF’s landscape catalog (https://landscape.aswf.io/), it places Kdenlive on a whole new level.
Our beloved application was able to deliver the content keeping to a deadline (which on TV is always very tight), at the requested quality standard, and in the required format. Also, Kdenlive allowed us to quickly carry out a lot of the modifications the network asked for to better adjust the content to their internal policy.
But this is not the end of our quest for quality and improvement, in fact, it is only the beginning. It is, however, a sign we are moving in the right direction. But we cannot carry on without you, our community. You help us improve, and we would love to share your recent productions with the world. Send us your work and help us and others learn how Kdenlive is being used and how the community is growing.
Thank you for being part of Kdenlive.
Well done kdenlive!
YIPPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
This is great Massimo
Good. Kdenlive is the best open source software ever.
Bravo 👍
수고하세요 KDE 팀!
Kdenlive is definitely a top class editor now! There are plenty of ways to improve though, would like to see it compete with the likes of Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro!
Does video for a news portal in the middle of the Canadian Prairies count? Because I use it quite a bit for that. They aren’t fancy videos by any stretch of the imagination; just some basic edits and some title clips, but they are considered “professional” because they are done for a “professional broadcaster”.
Sure it counts! Share it 🙂

There are others, but they’re small little snippets. We’re slowly getting into adding more video content to the portal, which is part of the reason I was brought on board. But we still mostly do small little 2 or three minute things.
Saw this in the Telegram chat. So cool!!
Here are some of my works done with Kdenlive: some are for paid freelance work, and some are for school.

I also have another contract wrapping up. Those videos should be out soon.
Congratulations!
I use Kdenlive since some month, and that’s my max skill using it, nothing incredible, but nice result in my opinion 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEpxwaU6uf0
My work on Youtube may not be too impressive either, but I am very proud of Kdenlive. Great program.

That joke about Zinedine Zidane did make me laugh 😄
As an Italian I am very proud. Congrats guys 🥳
Awesome. I have been using kdenlive for home made videos, but this is a whole new level. Congratulations.

Always cool to hear about a free/open-source project making commercial breakthroughs.
I started using Kdenlive a couple months ago when Blender’s VSE could no longer keep up with my needs. Since then I’ve used it to edit animation sequences at 4K and high framerates, as part of an experimental video enhancement workflow involving Flowframes and RealESRGAN. So far I’ve done two such videos, which can be found here:

Kdenlive неплохая программа для монтажей, но пока годится только для любительского использования или для монтажа небольших материалов. Очень слабо развита корзина проекта! Много сложностей при работе с большим количеством клипов в разных папках.
1. Когда в проект загружается много клипов (например 500 и более), то процесс становится достаточно длительный. И прогресс загрузки материалов в проект никак отражается. Никаких проресс баров. ОООООчень неудобно!!!!
2. Если в проекте много папок и между ними постоянно приходится переключаться, то монтаж становится очень муторным занятием. Приходится делать много кликов постоянно переключаясь между разными папками в корзине проекта. Очень удобно вопрос решен а Adobe Premiere. Папки проекта можно закреплять в виде владок в окне корзины проекта и переключаться становится очень легко и быстро, без лишних кликов тыкая в заголовки вкладок, которые всегда на виду.
3. Когда работаешь над большим проектом, который монтируется несколько дней, очень хочется видеть какие клипы уже выложены на монтажный стол (таймлайн), а какие нет. Основной режим отображения клипов в корзине проекта – это иконки. А в этом режиме никак не отмечены выложенные на таймлайн клипы.
4. Когда работаешь на двух мониторах, хочется корзину проекта растянуть на всю высоту экрана.
5. Невозможно поменять разом свойства нескольких клипов в корзине проекта. Например, материал снят в фомате, где камера пишет 8 аудио дорожек, но реально используется две. Нет никакой возможности выделить несколько клипов и отключить для них лишние дорожки, что бы не попадали на монтажный стол.
Я перечислил достаточно серьезные изъяны, которые не позволят использовать Kdenlive хотя бы в мелких студиях в массовом производстве видео (новости например) или для работы с большими фильмами (свадебные или документальные фильмы). Работать в программе можно и даже собирать приличные видосы, но нока все очень неудобно из-за очень не функциональной корзины проекта.
Hi and thanks for the feedback. Could you please report these issues in the bug tracker or comment on already existing one’s? You can do so here:

I will also leave a translation of your text below:
I don’t know English so well that I can freely express lengthy thoughts, so I’ll write in Russian. Perhaps there is someone to read it!)))
Kdenlive is not a bad editing program, but so far it is only suitable for amateur use or for editing small materials. The project basket is very poorly developed! A lot of difficulties when working with a large number of clips in different folders.
1. When a lot of clips are loaded into the project (for example, 500 or more), the process becomes quite lengthy. And the progress of loading materials into the project is reflected in no way. No progress bars. OOOOO Very inconvenient !!!!
2. If there are many folders in the project and you constantly have to switch between them, editing becomes a very dreary task. You have to do a lot of clicks constantly switching between different folders in the project basket. The issue is very conveniently resolved by Adobe Premiere. Project folders can be pinned as holders in the project basket window and switching becomes very easy and quick, without unnecessary clicks poking at the tab headers that are always in sight.
3. When you work on a large project that has been edited for several days, I really want to see which clips have already been laid out on the editing table (timeline), and which ones are not. The main mode of displaying clips in the project basket is icons. And in this mode, the clips laid out on the timeline are not marked in any way.
4. When you work on two monitors, you want to stretch the project basket to the full height of the screen.
5. It is impossible to change the properties of several clips in the project basket at once. For example, the material was filmed in a format where the camera writes 8 audio tracks, but two are actually used. There is no way to select several clips and turn off extra tracks for them so that they do not end up on the timeline.
I have listed quite serious flaws that will not allow using Kdenlive even in small studios in mass video production (news for example) or for working with large films (weddings or documentaries). You can work in the program and even collect decent vidos, but everything is very inconvenient because of the very non-functional basket of the project.
Hi Антон.
I’m the one who is producing for television by using Kdenlive and I agree with all the points you quoted. All these stuff are in our roadmap. For the moment I’m able to manage the production of news, documentary and other contents for Mediaset from London thanks to some workarounds I’m using but the application is already able to allow me to be productive in the same way I’m with Avid or Premiere. On Friday I was able to deliver 3 pieces of news for 3 main Italian news bulletins for a total of 5 minutes in less than 3 hours at top quality.
All the things you write are on the our desk to be managed asap but our roadmap order is more or less the following:
1. Complete the single track transitions system and the trimming tools.
2. Implement the multiple timelines system and the nesting.
3. Make the properties panel work properly
4. Complete the project bin allow opening multiple widget and find a way to speed up the audio thumbnail jobs or postpone them and anyway make them more visible to the user.
5. Come back to the Audio system for the 2nd Act on audio improvements.
I guess that it’s just a matter of time and they will be ready to offer a complete replacement for the industry standard applications soon. I hope you’ll continue to help us same as you just did by writing this comment. Participate and spread Kdenlive. More we are faster the development is.
Hey, can you try the 21.12 beta? We’ve added some of your feedback.
I made this video on Indiana Jones with Kdenlive.
