Kdenlive is a free and open source professional video editor that offers ease of use, powerful editing features, along with many effects and transitions. Join the growing community of users who rely on Kdenlive to make their vlogs, commercials, documentaries, news segments, and films.
To keep building, improving and maintaining Kdenlive we need your support: Donate now, or, even better, become a Kdenlive patron and help us make Kdenlive the video editor for everybody!
The funds collected are mostly used to sponsor the Kdenlive maintainer so that he can spend more time on Kdenlive, and are also used to hire contractors working on specific features, like we did with the audio waveform refactoring and the OpentimelineIO import/export features.
Archives from our 2022 fundraising
First goal reached: With the 15.000 € you have already generously donated we can take on implementing nested timelines, improved effects workflow, stabilize the code and boost performance.
Now it is time to set some stretch goals.
Based on feedback you have given us, we have set the following stretch goals for our fundraiser: when we reach 20.000 €, we will be able to take on making keyframing more powerful by adding new easing types and curves. If we reach 25.000 €, we will be able to improve support for videos with alpha, as well as for media with a greater variety of resolutions.
Our aim is to make Kdenlive the most useful and feature-rich video editor, while at the same time keeping it free and open for everyone.
Help us and keep the donations, feedback and support coming!
What will your Donation Achieve?
We will use your donation to support members of the Kdenlive team, helping them continue working on the project to add major features and implement technologies required by the industry, keep the software stable and reliable, and maintain the code base.
Developers like Jean Baptiste, Julius and other contributors like Camille, Farid, Massimo, Eugen will be able to spend more time on Kdenlive and work to make it the best software it can be.
Some of the things you can look forward to:
- Nested timelines
- Improved effects workflow
- Performance boosts
- Improved keyframing with easing types and curves
- Better support for video formats with alpha
- Support for media with a greater variety of resolutions
Nested Timelines
The nested timeline feature will allow you to open several timeline tabs. Each tab contains a separate timeline, all of them share the same project bin and will be saved inside the same project file. You will then be able to insert (or “nest”) one timeline within another, and it will act as a single clip. However, changing a sequence in a nested timeline will automatically update it in the container timelines. You might want to integrate, for example, a complex “Final credits” compositing sequence with 10 tracks at the end of your project. You could do this in a timeline tab and then insert that timeline as a single clip into your main project, allowing for a much cleaner workflow.
高效率效果工作流程
目前如果您希望調整素材的一些基本參數，像是亮度或對比度，您會需要進行許多步驟：首先，您必須搜尋效果清單然後找到您需要的效果。然後您會需要將效果加到素材上，最後再調整它的參數。
對於簡單且極為常用的調整，這算是蠻麻煩的。為了讓您的工作流程更順暢，我們會製作新的效果面板，其中提供您對於這些參數的直接控制，讓您能夠快速輕易地調整等級、裁剪、變形，以及音訊素材的音量與平衡。
效能改善
您的捐款將幫助我們大幅改善程式碼並改善 Kdenlive 總體的反應速度。深度（且很花時間）的程式碼重構能夠幫助 Kdenlive 反應變得更快，使用起來也更舒適。
我們將能夠改善時間軸上的視訊與音訊播放，包含普通速度與放慢速度時。這會幫助您審閱或調整素材、剪輯、效果、轉場，讓這些工作變得更簡單、更不容易出錯，也更順暢。
支持我們也能幫助協調算繪管道，讓代理素材、時間軸預覽，與最終算繪都變得更好，讓編碼、預覽、專案算繪都更快、更穩定也更可靠。
幫助我們達成更多
這還只是開始。您的捐款能夠幫助我們繼續改善 Kdenlive，讓我們能夠努力讓 Kdenlive 成為業界最可靠、最強大（但依然自由而免費）的影片編輯器。
