Hi there, development team of Kdenlive It's been a while since I was involved with Kdenlive. Back then, it was only a hobby, but recently I have started making videos commercially. I still maintain the Arch Linux kdenlive-git and kdenlive-release-git packages, of course. It's pretty low effort involved to maintain a package.
Firstly, Kdenlive is pretty solid, and suits my needs perfectly. There was some chatter about moving to a different channel for bug reports. As I am using Kdenlive much more now, I am running into minor annoyances, and would like to feed that back to the group. Minor stuff like: 1. The cursor being invisible when adding or modifying text in a title clip. 2. .mlt clips' sound manipulation being missing. When changing the speed of a clip, the resultant .mlt file does not have a "sound" attached to it when dragged onto the timeline. It makes it hard to mute, unmute or change the volume of a clip. I have taken to making my own transcode profile, and transcoding the clips to get at their sound again... but this seems against the whole non-destructive editing that was a large focus of Kdenlive when I started using it. Where would you guys like to have these gripes recorded? Also, sound seems to have a bit of room for improvement. There is no equalizer or hiss removal or FFT filter. Currently I am using Kdenlive to split out the audio stream, then editing with Audacity, then using ffmpeg to re-mux the sound back into the video clip. Why am I doing it that way around? Well, it's not always clear which clips you are going to use in the edit. Once the clip is all cut up, it's a pain to extract each little piece and do en-masse sound filtering on it. So, I edit the master clip's sound, and re-mux it with FFmpeg, and when I re-use the original filename, Kdenlive does not know the difference, and I have nice clean sound in every little piece of the clip that is used. It would be nice if I was just able to export the sound, edit it, then "merge" it back into the clip, overwriting the original sound.
