Kdenlive 22.08.2 released
by Farid Abdelnour | Oct 17, 2022 | News, Releases | 0 comments
The second maintenance release of the 22.08 series is out with many usability and bug fixes. Some highlights include fixed pasted “ghost” keyframes, effects overlay now properly scale on monitor zoom, loopable image sequence clips are working again and VP8 alpha renders don’t crash anymore. This version also comes with some quality of life improvements like when pasting a clip the cursor moves to the last frame and remembering the effect’s keyframe status.

I've no doubt this program has advanced special effects, but compared to AviUtl, basic editing is a hassle. Transitions should be objects you can set parameters on, then copy/paste to where you need them on the timeline.

It's the best (and only) true free alternative to professional editing softwares such as Adobe Premiere.
If you can use Premiere - or any other NLE - you can use Kdenlive too.
Its GUI is very similar to those professional editing programs and can be totally customized.
I don't know why so many people write reviews that seems jokes (or worse).. like the one from geofallen22, that says that Kdenlve is "a static paint programme"...
I don't know, really. Kdenlive is a very good video editor, the most powerful and complete in the opensource world.
They're improving it with every release.. and it's about 2 years it is very stable ad 100% usable also on Windows.
So.. I can't understand all the crap I read in many reviews.

This is a video editor reviewed as the best free open-source software available. I've tried to download it a number of times and receive always the same static paint programme - nothing to do with the video editor I've seen reviewed on Youtube.
Doesn't matter. I'm looking for reliability and stability and one can't ask this of open-source beta programmes. Losing a project is - the worst so I'm now looking at commercially available stuff.
