Thank you very much! The best video editor!
До лучшего среди всех ему еще очень далеко. Но из бесплатных да.
Какой лучший?
As a disabled black transwoman of color, this app has really helped me make very good creative videos at my workplace as a Beats by Dre marketing artist.
Sadly Fade in / Fade out still don’t work on this AppImage version. It’s the second version in a row with that bug.
Since I use a lot that effect, this version is useless for me. I have to stick with the Daily Builds.
I don’t understand. Why is it so complicated to fix one of the oldest and most used effect? And why that effect works perfectly in each Daily Builds, days in days out?
Thanks.
To fade in and out at the moment – I create a transparent background in GIMP and save as a png file and I name mine as alpha_channel.png
I place this on “V1 and then place the video content on “V2”, and simply use the Opacity in the Composite and Transform to do the fade in and fade out effect.
I hope this helps?
I have the same problem here
The standalone version of Kdenlive 21.08.2 and Kdenlive 21.08.3 , does not open the installer. It can not be installed. It does nothing when I double click it.
RYU… installer of the standalone ? What do you mean? There are not installers on the archive…
Hello, I mean the “portable” version of Kdenlive for Windows. Since the previous correction update (Kdenlive 21.08.2) and this one (Kdenlive 21.08.3) the executable does not open (double click or right click and run), it does nothing, it does not decompress the program files.
Greetings.
I downloaded kdenlive-21.08.3_standalone.exe and it decompress by double click. Try with a right click and run it as administrator.
Yes, I already tried it, and it doesn’t work either. I kept trying and saw that in the properties menu of the installer, I found an option that I had never seen before. I clicked it and it worked.
The message says:
“Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer.”
Press the “check mark” in the “Unblock” option and the installer works.

Thank you for this information. I’ll check if we can avoid this message.
Thanks to you for being aware of the problem. 🙂
in my case. I do not know what is happening. after the update to 21.08.3 , everything became a mess.
the transition effects are not acting correctly, such as (fade in/fade out) among others.
even saving the project, when reopened the timeline is all messed up, generating rework.
after rendering part of the project, the final file (mp4) does not go as planned.
in short, it turned into a mess… and I still haven’t found reports and solutions for these problems.
Pretty the same with me. Are you talking about the AppImage here? If so, you should give a try at the Daily Builds. They work fine with me.
On which OS and with which download version do you have this problem (Appimage, PPA, Flatpak)?
I’m on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. With the AppImage 21.08.03 and 21.08.02 I got the fade in/fade out issues.
But no problem occurs with the Daily Builds, which run fine.
Hey, I just got a flash. I noticed that Tumbleweed upgraded to MLT 7.2.0 recently, but 21.08.03 seems to still run on MLT 7.0.1. Is a conflict be possible?
That would explain why Daily Builds run almost perfectly because they run on the latest MLT version.
Thanks.
I agree. I have the exact same problem with this version. How can I use this software when I have to go back and completely rework the sync after I close it? I’m cutting a feature length film with this. How can I continue knowing all my work will be ruined??
Please fix
Merlimau, I think I got something here. I installed 21.08.3 but from OpenSuse Main Repository (OSS), and my Fade In/ Fade Out are working just fine. But what’s interesting here if I check in the Help -> About Kdenlive, it is written Using: MLT version 7.2.0 !!!! (that’s the version installed in my system).
And in the 21.08.3 AppImage it is written MLT version 7.1.0, which we all know it’s a typo because 7.1.0 never existed. It’s 7.0.1 that was the previous MLT version before 7.2.0.
So, I really start to believe that we have a MLT conflict here. I can’t see anything else.
Now, the question that kills 🙂 Which next stable AppImage version will be built on MLT 7.2.0? 21.12.0? 22.03.0?
To be continued… 🙂
Thanks.
Quickly, I got something new here. As I said, 21.08.3 *AppImage* (it’s important to specified) doesn’t Fade In/Out video clips, but it *does* Fade In/Out picture files, like .jpg and .png.
Strange.
How do I access the Last Cafe’s Video. What is the URL to get access to it?
Loosing the fade in / fade out is ridiculous and incredibly annoying! I was all set to begin a new project.
If you talk about the AppImage, take the Daily Builds AppImage instead; they work fine with Fade In/Fade Out.
If you are on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, check out my post above.
I don’t really want to do a reinstall of Kdenlive 21.08.3 Sylvain. I got it through my Xubuntu 20.04 automatic updates. In the About window it says it’s using MLT version 7.0.0 Other comments here say it needs version 7.2.0
Am really confused as don’t know how to update MLT – tried various command line requests. Surely Kdenlive should have done this if it’s required?!
Very frustrating as my previous version of the editor was perfect and incredibly stable.
John, if your About says “using MLT version 7.0.0”, have a look at your /usr/lib64/libmlt* to check out what MLT version your system has. In your system, it may be located in /usr/lib/libmlt* instead (I don’t know Xubuntu).
I bet you’ll have a MLT version different from 7.0.0.
If you have the latest MLT version (7.2.0) on your system, you should try the Daily Buids AppImage in the meantime.
Xubuntu is Ubuntu with a simplified interface. Have done a thorough search and can’t find libmit* in the directories you mention or anywhere else. I did find two folders called mlt and mlt-7. They are full of .so files which I cannot read – no app.
Question: Do you have the terminal command for locating libmit* ?
Hum, first thing. You got a typo here. The library is libmlt (mLt), not mit.
In the Ubuntu families, you’re supposed to have the dpkg command. You should try : dpkg -L packagename. Now, I don’t know if the exact package is “mlt” or “libmlt”, so try both.
Now, as I said earlier, don’t be shy to give a try at the Daily Builds. They don’t bite 🙂
https://kdenlive.org/en/download and then go to the bottom page and Daily AppImage. Right click on the file, and save link as. Then, make it executable with a chmod 755 yourfile and you’re done. I do it every day 🙂
I found a couple of Debian changelog files refering to previous MLT versions. They contain no reference to version 7.2.0 . So I guess Kdenlive didn’t update my MLT. From what’s on the MLT website there’s no simple update command, it looks really daunting. Will a daily build automatically update my MLT files to 7.2.0 ?
Many thanks for all your help.
Short answer, no. Kdenlive and MLT framework are two different programs, build by two different teams. So, one won’t update the other.
And if I were you, I won’t try to much to make a manual MLT update. Nowadays, modern Linux distros are complex and sophisticated. I used to make these kind of manual updates 25 years ago when I was on Slackware, but not anymore. Now, in OpenSuse Tumbleweed, I play safe and stay inside my environment.
Now, regarding of the Daily Builds (and all AppImages in general), they are packaging, so they should contain all the necessary files to operate by themselves. That’s why they are way bigger than the standalone applications.
Nevertheless, all I can say is you should try the Daily Builds until things stabilize in your distribution.
I just found the fade in/fade out issue reported on November 1st at the kdenlive bugs reporting page here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444763
KDE Bugtracking system is here if anyone wants to add their report. https://bugs.kde.org/ You have to open an account.
I’m on Fedora Linux 35 (Workstation Edition) and I use the flatpak version (but I noticed the same problem with the AppImage version). The Play Zone feature is all messed up in Clip Monitor. At the end of the zone, the clip keeps playing.
Is it a bug ? A weird choice ? If so, why ?
Could you try the 21.12 beta and let us know if it works?
https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/unstable/kdenlive-21.12.0-beta2-x86_64.appimage.mirrorlist
Sorry, I did not see your message.
I tested the beta version and it works normally. Thanks.
I’ll wait for the stable release to update it with that one.
