Kdenlive

From Encoresoup - The Ultimate Guide to Free/Open Source Software

Kdenlive (KDE Non-Linear Video Editor) (IPA: /ˌkeɪdɛnˈlaɪv/) is a non-linear video editor for KDE, and is based on the MLT framework. The project was initially started by Jason Wood in 2002, and is now maintained by a small team of developers.^[1]

Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg (such as MOV, AVI, WMV, MPEG, XviD, and FLV), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.^[2]

The developers of Kdenlive have moved on from the KDE3 version (Which wasn't originally made for MLT) and moved on to KDE4 with an almost complete rewrite. Some new features for 0.6 are: capture from webcam, grab video from your screen, support for jog shuttle devices, independent rendering processes, faster and interactive timeline operations, and easy audio fade.^[3]
