Yes I agree that concetrate to design is important in the begining. But I will use KDEnlive different way now. I will use it only for video editing and export to DV. For encoding I will use mencoder because I know him more. So, I think more important to concentrate to usable efects, transitions etc. Jirka (GeBu
