Features[6]

Kdenlive video effects

KDE's Kdenlive makes use of MLT, Frei0r effects, SoX and LADSPA libraries. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.[7][8]

History

The project was initially started by Jason Wood in 2002. The development of Kdenlive moved on from the K Desktop Environment 3 version (which wasn't originally made for MLT) to KDE Platform 4, with an almost complete rewrite. This was completed with Kdenlive 0.7, released on November 12, 2008.[10] Kdenlive 0.9.10 released on October 1, 2014 was the last KDE 4 release.

Kdenlive started to plan a move into the KDE project and its infrastructure in 2014.[11] Port to KDE Frameworks 5 was finished with the release of 2015.04.0 as part of KDE Applications 5.[12] The move to KDE is ongoing.[13]
