Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

Does Kdenlive support .ogv from Recordmydesktop?

A

n some versions, it's It's not in the list of supported files. But in 0.8.2.1, .ogg is listed among the available formats.

Q

How can I create luma transitions/wipes in kdenlive?

A

Create a pgm file (it is just a grayscale image with size 720x576 (PAL) or 720x486 (NTSC) with gradients. Gimp or Inkscape, for example, is quite good for creating the images.
When ready simply put them in the folder ~/.kde/share/apps/kdenlive/pgm/PAL (create the folder if necessary).
To test the luma files just start Kdenlive, and your new transition will automatically appear in the list.

Q

what is the additional packages that are required by Kdenlive ?

A

run the command to install additional packages that are required by Kdenlive

# sudo apt install ffmpeg dvgrab dvdauthor genisoimage vlc

Q

Can I import .dv files from kino?

A

Yes, it should work without the problem. Due to a small bug, the .dv clips don't show up in the "Add Clip" dialog of Kdenlive 0.3. You can just enter an asterisk (*) in the filter line of the dialog and all files will be shown. Or simply drag and drop the DV file into Kdenlive's project view.

Q

How can I copy a clip from the timeline in kdenlive?

A

This can be done by selecting the clip and then drag and drop from the clip monitor into the timeline.
Since Kdenlive 0.4, just use standard copy/paste action.
