The last maintenance release of the 21.12 cycle is out with lots of usability polishing of keyframes, subtitles and proxy clips. Audio thumbnails on high zoom levels got a major performance optimization. This version also fixes 5 crashes including Wayland layout switching, time remapping module among others.
With this release we switched our AppImage building to KDE Craft that is already in use for our Windows and macOS builds. With this step our packages become more consistent in regard of bundled dependency versions across all platforms. Also the maintenance becomes less time consuming giving developers more time to focus on coding rather than packaging. We encourage users to reset their configurations to avoid any possible issues by going to menu Help -> Reset Configuration.
If you encounter any issues please report them and don’t forget to checkout the trouble shooting tips.

hello sir, nice software
I make tutorial about kdenlive software,
One request please add auto silence delete options . Or XML file software.
Grop options is act multi clip in one like mlt library options.
Expand options more time not working ( software closed)
macOS version is not available for download yet.
Yes, there is an issue with the Mac build. Let’s see if we can release it soon.
Maybe we’ll get some Apple Silicon love?
Yes, as soon as we get a mac-mini M1 sponsored … 😉
Maybe release news can be updated to acknowledge that?
Mac 21.12.3 was released yesterday.
Just tried it.
It still renders a big portion of localized strings in English (around 50 %). Try with Slovenian l10n on macOS (and Windows, if I am not mistaken), something is wrong with the l10n framework with Kdenlive on macOS and Windows. Krita does not have such a problem.
Thank you / gracias.
I believe version 21.12.x broke GPU encoding (Nvidi rtx 2060a in my case) I can select it as a render option but it does nothing. (18 to 35 fps)
on version 21.08.x. I get around 95 fps during render.
I hope this gets fixed soon.
thanks for an great tool!
Are you testing with the same project? Are you on Windows or Linux? Is it AppImage? Did this break for you in the 21.12 series or just 21.12.3? Does 21.12.2 work for you?
I’m testing with the exact same project (a single video file with nothing else) I’m on Linux mint 20.3, latest Nvidia drivers (510) and it’s the 21.12 series that is broken. using AppImage (but ppa has the same issue)
work with gpu if you install kdenlive: flatpak install flathub org.kde.kdenlive
I just updated kdenlive and now it won’t start up.
It says api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll is missing, but I confirmed that I have the file in System32 and SysWOW64.
It is too bad bacause I cannot download older versions of kdenlive.
I guess you are on Windows. Uninstall Kdenlive. Go to folder c:\program files\ and delete the folder Kdenlive. Now install Kdenlive again.
Please reply, silence detect feature possible ?
Need this feature. Because it is save more time
Currently there is only an automatic scene split feature which detects scene changes. Eventually we will add a silence detection as well but we just don’t have an estimate as to when. There are more important features which have priority at the moment. Help is always welcome since there a few people developing this project. Thanks for your understanding…
It’s already possible to do this.
Open your clip in the clip monitor and open the speech editor widget.
Select you language or go to Settings > Speech to text and download the model for it.
Then start the recognition.
Once this is done, click on the timecode where no-speech is indicated and just hit the delete key. Repeat the operation for all the parts you want to remove including where someone says what you don’t want to listen in your final edit.
Once you have finished, click on the save button on the Lower left part of the Speech editor widget and after few seconds you’ll have your playlist in your project bin.
Any tutorial
YES NICE,
BUT SOME LUNGUAGE NOT CODE IN VOSK FILE.
ALSO SILENCE PART TRIM ANS WITH MIN SPEECH PART.
SO WE NEED EXTRA ADD SELECT NO SPEECH AND ALSO ADJUSTMENT ” NO SPEECH ” CLIP LENGHT ADJUST WHEN AVOID UN WANDES NEEDED PART CUT.
ALSO TIMELINE IMPORT OPTION LIKE SCENE DETECT OPTION CLIP EDIT.
JUST IMPROVE TEXT EDIT (SPEECH TO TEXT ) OPTION IN SILENCE DETECT FEATUURE
MANY YEARS WAITING THIS FEATURE
Hola tengo la última versión de kdenlive con so Linux y cuando abro kdenlive la ventana es más grande que la pantalla del pc y no se puede restaurar el tamaño sólo tiene los botones de minimizar y maximizar y no aparece la parte de abajo de la ventana. He probado todos los instalables de la página de kdenlive y las 2 opciones de la tienda de Linux vamos todas las opciones y siempre se abre igual.
hello! I have linux and I have tried all the downloadable files and all of them when kdenlive opens the window occupies more than the screen and the bottom part of the window cannot be seen. It can be minimized or maximized but not restored to show the entire window.
Yes , aut cut silence is available more editing software.
Filmora
Tuneskit
Sony Vegas
Premier pro
Audacity
Olive 0.1
Sorry, I don’t want to sound rude but:
Filmora can do it but through an add-on you have to purchase from inside the application.
I can’t verify on Tuneskit but I can confirm that Magix (no more Sony) Vegas has the feature (based on ffmpeg) but it’s not straight forward.
Premiere Pro has not such feature but you can get the result in another tricky way by using Premiere in combine with Audition as shown here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtmZnBpaRpI
Audacity it’s not a video tool so you can’t keep in sync the video
Olive has it (based on ffmpeg too) but it works so and so as in Vegas.
Kdenlive is actually the application which manages this task in the best way. By using the AI Vosk speech-to-text module (which is integrated), Kdenlive is a lot more precise than analyzing the sound looking for volume changes (as ffmpeg does) because the AI looks for words/text and it’s not tricked by other sounds in the environment.
Once you have parsed the text you have just to remove the no-speech parts and export the playlist. You can also remove piece of sentence you don’t want by reading and editing the text only.
installation in arch linux or manjaro or kubuntu does not want with gpu for export, nor with appimage. Only in installing kdenlive with flatpack is ok GPU
Render crashes with appimage. Also daily appimage fails.

I have some problems with the 21.12.3 release (on Ubuntu 21.10):
1. If I use the Flatpak version then the project monitor video keeps freezing the video although the audio works. The AppImage version works fine.
2. The AppImage version doesn’t load most toolbar icons and instead uses text.
3. Neither version includes audio when rendering at 4k using WebM-VP9/Opus (libre), when aborting the render I get:

The render completes but there is no audio in the .webm file
Shame, came to see update logs so the VP9 renders would have audio again. Same issue. Windows 11.
Hello. When I add a project within another project, Kdenlive 21.12.3 crash
When I try run the AppImage on Ubuntu 21.04 with i3wm and fish shell it fails to launch with this:

Does that mean anything to you?
Could there be added a new option to the Title Clip to make the Outline option grow outwards? Currently it only grows inwards, which isn’t really good…
Could ya please add After Effects compatibility in the next update?
What kind of compatibility do you expect?
https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/effects_and_compositions/speech_to_text.html
Please improve speech text edit option.
1. Need Vosk file for silence detection ( because some lungage not available this file, but we need silence detect feature. So not important language. Find only silence part)
2. Remove all no sound part ( now available only selected part, we need single click remove all silence part)
3. Optput is playlist format. We need subclip format. Like scene detect feature. Because essay re edit.
When full support Gpu?
would it be possible in the future to place audio clips “off the grid” and be able to cut them from any point? (kind of like the show audio time units option in premiere pro.) anyways, thanks ! :))
There seems to be a packaging issue with the AppImage. Audio recording on Ubuntu (22.04 beta) is not possible, nothing is recorded, only “default:” is available as audio source in the settings. With the version included in Ubuntu itself (also 21.12.3), it is no problem and the source selection is filled with different options.
22.04 version?
Is today!!!
I’m looking forward to the release, I didn’t want to come here to comment before because I’m always looking forward to it too much, hahaha!!!
I hope all is well with the project and they can actually release it today… if not, wait for our beloved Kdenlive.
the wait is worth it
What happened to the launch of 22?
Does anyone have any news?
Most of the time, releases are often delayed by a couple of days. Nothing to worry about here. It’s normal.
the editor has already been updated via PPA
Windows??
I downloaded today’s build (24/04/2022), it installed correctly, but kdenlive still aborts on the splash screen… when I try again, it asks if I want to restore the settings and regardless of yes or no, it keeps aborting before opening the main screen – it’s just on the home screen.
It’s the first time this has happened to me, I’ve never had any problems in this regard with kdenlive, either in the stable version or in the daily builds – and only in today’s build 24/04/2022 (windows 11 environment)
Kdenlive is the TRUE EDITING POWER for free! I believe it is the 3rd BEST VIDEO EDITOR (behind Adobe Premiere and Davinci Resolve). I would LOVE if the KDE team adds a motion blur feature and a motion graphics page!
The Mac & Linux versions seem to be available on the KDE page. No Windows version as yet:
https://download.kde.org/stable/kdenlive/22.04/
Hi GaryB,
Thank you very much indeed for sharing that link – I’ve been waiting to try out the latest version of Kdenlive. 🙂
Hope you are all well!
Well… first it was the Mac version, then Linux… still nothing for Windows ?
For days I followed to see the launch because I know everyone must be very busy… But honestly, I disbelieved and got tired of waiting, when they launch and I find out I’ll take a look.
I was more upset because there was nothing, no note, nothing regarding the release… well, we know that there are few working and there is really a lot of work to be done.
I hope all is well with the versions already released and with the Windows version when they release.
Hugs to all!
In the previous version, Windows was released first. This time it is ours. Each in turn 🙂
I Wait
No complaints my friend, in fact it doesn’t matter who is first or last… important is for the project to maintain the usual quality, which has in its community a great love for the project and for all those involved directly or indirectly.
We still try to fix a packaging issue on Windows which leads to black icons in dark mode. Ones solved we release 22.04.
Thank you.
We are all with you and we will always be with Kdenlive.
It’s so much affection and pride in this project that sometimes we get too anxious and worried.
But one thing we are all sure of… You will make it, you are the best!!!
The wait is over 🙂
https://download.kde.org/stable/kdenlive/22.04/windows
Yes my friend! I’ve already downloaded it and it’s properly installed… Today I’m going to use it a lot, I’m very happy and I believe everyone is looking forward to putting their “Windows” to work with the new version of Kdenlive. Success and congratulations to the entire Kdenlive team, I know it has been a struggle to make everything as perfect as possible. And as I said, are the best.
Thanks!!!
We fixed last minute a freeze which can happen with thumbnail creation. Once the updated version is uploaded we release 22.04.0.
What s new 22.04
Just got released, check out the post. 🙂
kdenlive-21.12.3-x86_64.AppImage gives the following message when opening:
“Unable to create io-slave. Can not find io-slave for protocol ‘tags’.”
I also see this message “(AppRun.wrapped:5867): GStreamer-WARNING **: 12:15:28.477: External plugin loader failed. This most likely means that the plugin loader helper binary was not found or could not be run. You might need to set the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable if your setup is unusual. This should normally not be required though.” None of the plugins seem to load.
kdenlive-21.12.1-x86_64.appimage works fine.
I’m using openSuSE Leap 15.3. Is there anything else I need to install to run this new version?
Thank you for a great app and also for your hard work.
