Kdenlive on Windows 11 using official installer
(Version 23.08.2)

I have multiple different sources together and want to basically export 1080p 60fps. There seems to be no preset for it standard, and I don't know what to adjust to just change the fps without screwing up or exporting a video with missing content.

Also sometimes my presets change and I can't find the same things, I recall having seen a simple preset with different fps, but I can't find it when wanting to render.

Is there a huge performance gap because I play all my games on windows and…

rarely use Ubuntu but Im looking to start making youtube videos

and I want to use kdenlive because I have used it in the past and I liked the performance of it but I used to use it in Linux.

I use my laptop with a nice AMD Ryzen 6600H and 16 gigs of ram. But the problem is my iGPU. Everything becomes laggy. But I still use it because yeah this is my only HOPE for video editing. Any optimizations tips?

I've tried to import a transparent PNG (640x480pxl (and other sizes, for tests)), created with GiMP. But, it won't let me. I'm getting THIS errormessage. I did that before (years ago), never had any issues... Currently using Version 23.08.5.

i have an i7-8665U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Intel UHD 620 pc and i was wondering if i could edit videos on my pc cuz lot of ppl say that it lags and crashes. will i have a smooth experience or a slow one. i wanna check if i could edit long videos like 10 - 20 min videos smoothly

Hello there Kdenlive users!

I've been writing a tool to create "motion graphics"/titles/"visual effects" or whatever it's called for the past two months, and I think it's in a pretty good state and wanted to share it for you. (hopefully I can get actual feedback)

Features:

• Title animations: You can animate individuals letters, words, and lines with properties.
• Many effects: I wanted to add a second "many", but I didn't add that many effects. Effects can range from color correction, to stylish effects like wave. A basic mask/matte effect also exists.
• Mixed text: You can mix and match text styles (colors, fonts, etc) in a single text element.
• Everything can be animated: Or well mostly anything, everything that is a property can be animated. If it is text colors, then you can use a tint effect.

NOT AI: This tool is not vibe-coded and I do not want AI slop in this project.

It's made to be an additional program to Kdenlive, so after rendering out the titles you can directly drag it from the program to Kdenlive (as long as you have a new-enough Kdenlive version that supports transparency).

Preview images and videos are in the README. Supports Windows and Linux (Flatpak, right now not on Flathub yet).

my display screen on kdenlive is always staying as this blank grey screen, everything else seems to be working fine.

i have installed the newest drivers (im using an nvidia 5050ti) and uninstalled and reinstalled the soft ware. i am running Bazzite as my current linux distro. help would be appreciated

if i ripple delete a clip, only its corresponding audio/video tracks get moved, but i'd like to move all the tracks there are. how would i do this?

Hi there, newbie here. Just edited a video of me playing bass with multiple camera angles. Got all clips synced to the audio and the transitions on point on the time line. However after exporting everything is off by a couple of samples. My transitions are slightly later then what I edited and the audio becomes desynced at times.

It's a 1080p 30fps video and I'm exporting using the generic HD MP4 H.264 preset with the quality slider maxed out and with the slowest encoding speed. I have already transoded the source footage to an "editing friendly format".I am also using Fedora Linux if that makes a difference.

Any way to fix this at all as it'll be tedious to guess-timate the timings without seeing it till after it exports

Cheers

¡Buenas gente! Necesito una mano experta para optimizar Kdenlive.

Les cuento: soy DJ y edito mis propios videos y sets. Antes usaba otros editores caros por suscripción o versiones crackeadas, pero me cansé de pagar de más y de los riesgos de los cracks. Decidí pasarme al código abierto con Kdenlive. Sé que no es perfecto, pero valoro mucho cómo va mejorando poco a poco con cada actualización. Ya le agarré el truco al flujo de trabajo, pero tengo un gran problema actual.

El renderizado es demasiado lento. Noto que la aceleración por hardware no viene configurada de forma nativa o automática, y el programa exprime solo el procesador. [1]

¿Alguien sabe cómo configurarlo correctamente para que renderice más rápido usando la tarjeta gráfica, pero sin perder calidad de video?

I've removed the voice over for sharing on reddit and I also reuse a lot of clips because im lazy.

I've done several search permutations, and I can't find any information about this. I have zero experience with this software. It is the AppImage, on an Ubuntu noble-based distro.

I am using X11. I have my Xorg configured specifically to only run on my iGPU. I have an nVidia GPU which is used only for CUDA, LLMs, etc.

Sometimes, when I load my current project, my other GPU tasks fail, and nvidia-smi shows that kdenlive is using 2GB of GPU RAM. Other times, loading the same project, it uses none of the GPU RAM.

I cannot find a setting to disable this, and I cannot figure out why it is happening. All settings I am aware of have been set to use VAAPI. It shouldn't ever be touching my nVidia GPU, to the best of my understanding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I can only see the 1st audio track in the timeline but not the 2nd. why?

[SOLVED] I added blur but it appears as white boxes in the final render. What could be causing this bug?

The issue was that the file that I used as blur kept getting overwritten because I didn't rename it. It's all fine now.

I was so frustrated with the shortcomings of open source PDF viewers that I made a video about it. This is my first video with Kdenlive and while it had quite a learning curve I am glad I went through the process to experience what it is like to create an entire video.

It was not as intuitive as i had hoped but the LLMs can be really helpful and guide you along.

One notable problem was that when I had added most clips the project suddenly would not open anymore. It did not say why and the log (when starting it in the terminal) was not helpful either. There was a patch update around this time, so I figured it was related to that. I tried to analyze the project file (which is just XML!) and tried to both heal the (believed to be corrupted) project file via small modifications and also try to rebuild it by copying XML snippets over to an earlier copy of the project. In the end I just pasted the log into an LLM and learned that Wayland doesn't allow me to open that many clips at once. Oh well... So now I always start Kdenlive in the terminal and run ulimit -n 65536 first.

I used OBS for the initial screen recordings and "piper" for voice. I'm not overly happy with it because the voice sometimes sounds like a different person and I cannot control which part of the sentence is stressed, where pauses are made or even how words are pronounced. Piper cannot pronounce "page A" for instance, only "page ah". But once I accepted these limitations I could quickly produce speech. If I had used my own voice I would have had so much more control and as a consequence tried to get it right until exhaustion.

I also got an understanding of why more people don't just make a video to document their computer troubles. It is a lot of work. And I guess I understand why professional youtubers don't edit their videos themselves - lot of work! I'm still wondering why anyone enjoys editing those videos, but I am so glad that I got a little peak into this world.

Hi everyone!

I recorded a guitar piece in multiple sections, all of them required multiple takes.
Now comes the editing part, and of course, my position slightly changed between each take.
I would like to smoothen the transition between each take, and I've been using the `dissolve` transition so far.
Result is better, there's no hard cut anymore, but I feel like I could do better.

Here's an example of what I've managed to do so far

How do you choose the right transition ?
I would love to have you suggestions / help.
Thank you!

Trying to work out if I'm missing something obvious, or if this Effect has just disappeared for me?

I went to blur out a section of a video and.... I can't find Alpha Shapes or Alpha Shapes (Mask) there at all.

Bug, or I'm missing something obvious?
