That looks really weird. kdenlive_start should never report "Way to run = " and not indicate how it is running the app...

Can you reproduce this? If you can, could you please try and edit kdenlive_start, add "set -x" after the first line (that is, as the second line), then run it, and send the output to me?

Could you also please try to update to the newest wizard (if you haven't already), and try a run, where you set source dir and install dir both to /tmp and then give a go again?

Finally, do you have the package "gdb" installed? If not, could you try and install it, and select to run kdenlive in a gdb session, and then, if it crashed, submit the log file to kdenlive.org/mantis ?

Thanks, I would appreciate that.

I've just compiled and installed the last kdenlive 0.7beta, and all is working well. I've used the kdenlive kommander script (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/download.php?content=85826&id=1&tan=15580377) to download, compile and install kdenlive and its dependencies, so i'd recommend this way to unexperienced users.

This version looks more professional and seems a bit more stable than the 0.6 series, and has great new features, so many thanks to developers for their work!

The beta rocks!

Unfortunately, it crashes from time to time, and cannot render to file.

Hi

Gave a try to 0.7beta1. Compiled fine but i was not able to launch the program.

Console says :

kdenlive(19254) MainWindow::parseProfiles: RESULTING MLT PATH: "/usr/share/mlt/profiles/"
mlt_repository.c, mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib/mlt/libmltsox.so
mlt_repository.c, mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib/mlt/libmltsdl.so
KCrash: Application 'kdenlive' crashing...
sock_file=/root/.kde4/socket-carrouf-G1/kdeinit4__0

Bugtracker mentions a /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 file which is not a qt4 file, but a qt3 one (im my distro).

Any idea ?

thanks

Looks like there is a problem with your MLT installation in /usr/lib. How did you install MLT ?

It would probably be better to remove & reinstall MLT, then recompile Kdenlive

I recompiled mlt & mlt++ with no problem. I recomplied kdenlive too. No problem. This time the program starts but dies immediatly with a Fatal error : MLT's avformat (FFMPEG) module not found. MLT's SDL module not found.

I checked MLT's installed files on my system and I found those :
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltavformat.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltcore.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltdv.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltfezzik.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltgtk2.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltinigo.so

mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltvmfx.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltvorbis.so
mlt /usr/lib/mlt/libmltwestley.so

So what kdenlive is complaining about ?

Ok : the problem was that mlt was not compiled with qimage support. Now it does and kdenlive works fine. And looks great !

I've just tried the latest 0.6.0-svn from the Kubuntu hardy heron repository.

I just wanted to let Developers and those using it that it is a great improvement. There is a lot more stability and the audio stayed in sync with my video.

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

This won't compile even after installing MLT 0.2.4 from source. ./configure doesn't seem to recognize that I have 2.4, and when I go to make, it tells me something about using unsermake instead. so I tried using cmake, and that starts it out, but it falters somewhere around 55%.

It would be really nice if you could distribute this in some way where all the user has to do is run the .sh file with no compilation necessary. This is a wonderful program, but it seems to run into a lot of dependency hell issues, if you could make it so it has everything it needs in it's own directory, even though that will increase the file size, I think that would be worth it in the end for the sake of compatibility.

on a side note, i can install 0.4 on my system, but it's terribly unstable.

Hi all,

I am new to Linux (Kubuntu) and I need to video editing. I tried out the latest Kdenlive, and it seemed to go fairly well, other than the title bars and mostly the audio.

I have 2 audio tracks and I need to superimpose them, the voice-over being louder, and the natural sound being just in the background.

I am having a hard time with audio effects. Is it because I need to download missing applications to my computer?

Thanks a lot!

Yes its indeed the best but there need to be some things to be adjust but i think you will notice what.

The output is much better than Windows Movie Maker did.

This is the best video editor for Linux. Unfortunately hard to install on Kubuntu because no up to date package and have to upgrade a lot of old packages.
Finally I installed the SVN version, the howto is written on the bottom of the wiki page (Compiling kdenlive & ffmpeg & mlt together - the easy way). For Kubuntu Feisty I had to install a new autoconf package, and the reinstallation of unsermake package was needed, too (strange).

Could someone make a deb package from kdenlive? Thanks in advance!

I have managed to install Kdenlive on Kubuntu, but cant capture from my DVcam. Clicking on the little green light in the capture window says the "renderer is not connected" and nothing happens when I try to record or control the cam.

In the clip monitor window the renderer is connected. I have installed DVgrab 2 and that captures from the terminal window with no problem.

I would love to replace my win software with Kdenlive. It looks great.

I love this program!
All of the other video editing programs for Linux is just wierd...

When I was using Windows I were using Sony Vegas, and I would love to see an option for Linux.

I have however got a feature request.
An option to change the speed of the clips.
Would be nice if this was an effetc so that you could use keyframes for it.

Keep it up!

It's a very nice looking program, but boy, it sure likes to crash a lot. I can't say what ONE specific thing makes it crash, as it may work nicely during one procedure, then crash the next time I try to do the same thing.

Here's hoping the future brings more stability, as it has the workings of being the best (free) DV editing app on linux.
