Hi,
I have been using Kdenlive for about three years now in Ubuntu Studio. I find
it very stable and perfect for my requirements. Many thanks to all involved in
its development.
I have a question (can't see any answer on the website): Can Kdenlive handle
variable frame rate footage without audio sync problems?
If not, are there any plans to add conversion to constant frame rate on import
as a feature?
As you will know, smartphone footage is increasingly good enough for many
purposes but most of it is variable frame rate and it tends to go out of sync
in many NLEs.
Smartphone video cameras, because they are carried everywhere by almost
everyone, are great for capturing moments that would otherwise be lost using a
more traditional camera. Smartphones are increasingly used in news gathering,
even by the mainstream media for this reason. They are no longer a poor quality
fringe phenomenon but an almost universal means of acquiring high quality HD
and even UHD footage.
I know that VFR footage can be converted to constant frame rate in third party
applications like Handbrake but it would it would be simpler and easier if
Kdenlive could do conversion on import.
Thanks.
Chris
