Kdenlive 16.08.1 released

Thursday, 8 September 2016  |  Farid Abdelnour

#Release  

We are happy to announce a new dot release with some improvements and various fixes. We also celebrate some code contribution from Harald Albrecht (TheDive0) hoping to see more devs joining our team.

Improved Workflow

Persistent Directories

Now Kdenlive remembers where you last opened and/or saved a project.

Responsive cursor

When inserting clips in the timeline the cursor in the timeline will go to the end of the inserted clip making the workflow more fluid and shortcut friendly.

Configurable transition duration

The default duration of new transitions can now be adjusted

Screenshot wiht input boxes for default durations in Kdenlive

Interface

Rounded corners

New option to make clip corners rounded or square.

New profiles

Added 50fps and 60fps trancoding profiles

As usual sources can be downloaded KDE's servers at: http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/16.08.1/src/

Until we provide binary packages please as you distro's maintainers to update the packages.

Happy editing.
