Kdenlive בברלין
מ־4 עד 5 בספטמבר, צוות Kdenlive שב להיפגש בברלין לספרינט וכדי להשתתף ב־Akademy, הכנס השנתי של KE. זה אירוע שמאפשר לנו להיפגש פנים אל פנים כיוון שהצוות שלנו מפוזר בין מגוון יבשות, ולהצטרף לכוחותינו כדי לשפר את Kdenlive. ואני חייב לומר שזה היה אחד הספרינטים הכי מועילים שהיו בכל ההיסטוריה של Kdenlive!
התארחנו לספרינט באדיבותם של c-base אז תודה רבה לצוות על קבלת הפנים החמה!
נצלול לפרטים בנוגע למה שעשינו:
We started by reviewing and updating our roadmap, so it is easier to understand what we are working on, what we plan and when. Another important step towards improving our workflows is that we created issues for each of these goals where the details will be discussed, so everyone can follow and possibly help us on the road to success.
Dopesheet
Very exciting, I received a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund through NLnet to work on a dopesheet feature in Kdenlive. This will bring a much improved keyframing interface with powerful features. We discussed what core features we want in it and some drafts on how that would work. This feature won't be ready for the December release, but I will post updates on the progress of this task in the coming months.
We then reviewed specific parts of the UI that we would like to improve. All these ideas will be discussed in specific issues so that we can refine the implementation.
סידור מחדש של התפריט
This task started two years ago but we never took time to finalize it. We progressed a lot on this and you can expect it to land in the December release. Among the changes, we decided to rename the Project Bin to Media, Render to Export, and reorganize the menus to make things more logical. We will make another blog to present these changes in detail once this is done.
סרגל כלי ציר זמן
We want to cleanup the UI, make the timeline timecode display cleaner and get rid of the large Master button currently taking a lot of space.
ממשק משתמש צג
We plan to move the audio vu-meter to a collapsible vertical widget on the right side of the monitor to free some space in the toolbar, make the zone duration always visible and move the insert/overwrite actions currently in the timeline toolbar there.
צג שמע
When selecting an audio clip, the Clip Monitor currently displays a huge audio waveform that is not that useful. We reviewed the UI to also display an overview at the top, making it easier to zoom and see where you are in the clip.
פריסות ומעגנים
We have several open issues regarding docking. One of the frequent request we have is to save the layout per project file, since sometimes you want very specific layouts for a project. We discussed how to make it happen and are also evaluating switching the library managing the widgets docking to KDDockWidgets that would bring us some very nice improvements like being able to detach the timeline or group several undocked widgets together
Titler
Our current titler does the job for simple tasks but many users would like to be able to use some animation presets to make their titles more dynamic. We discussed the possible options to make this a reality. Among the ideas, we could use Lottie animations, since our video backend MLT already has support to play them through the Glaxnimate module. Another option would be to implement a Qml producer for MLT, allowing to play Qml files directly as a video. Any help on that topic is welcome.
אתר
יש לנו תוכניות לשפר את מראה האתר שלנו ושוחחנו על חלק מהאפשרויות.
וכל השאר
 שוחחנו על המון דברים שונים ואפילו הצלחנו לערוך כמה ריאיונות לחברי הצוות שלנו. אולי פחות מעניין בעיני המשתמשים שלנו אבל גם ערכנו סקירה של חלק מענייני הניהול וסימני המסחר שלנו לרבות תקלות ב־CI/CD שלנו
Akademy 2025
Akademy was also an occasion to have interesting exchanges, notably with Glaxnimate's maintainer, Plasma developers and more. We are now back home with tons of ideas and TODO's, and the next release of Kdenlive, to be launched in December, will shine with some of the improvements we prepared during this week in Berlin !
