We are proud to announce the immediate release of Kdenlive 0.3, a non linear video editor for KDE. This is the first release using the great MLT video framework, combined with the power of FFMPEG. This brings real time effects and transitions to Kdenlive, with the support of many video formats.

While Kdenlive cannot yet be compared to a full featured professional video editor, it already has all basic features to create your movie:

• Video, audio, color, image and text clips
• Transitions (crossfade, picture in picture, ..)
• Effects (grayscale, sepia, luma,...)
• Multi track editing and mixing
• Export to several popular formats
• Video thumbnails
• Dual monitor display
• Customizable layout

You will find more information on our website http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net and our Wiki. And for the curious, here is a link to a screenshot.
Please note that firewire import/export is not implemented yet, but is on top of the planned features. We are encouraging everyone to try this release and give some feedback so that we can bring easy and powerful video editing to the KDE Desktop.

This release is also a call for everyone interested to join the project. We need developpers, graphic artists, testers and volunteers for the packaging!

A big thanks to all the people that contributed to this release, and we hope that you enjoy Kdenlive.

Kdenlive 0.2.4 released

The latest stable version of Kdenlive, 0.2.4, was released on the 15th of March, 2004. Get it here! We have the pleasure to announce the 0.2.4 releases of both Kdenlive and PIAVE. This primarily a bug-fix release over the previous 0.2.3 release, although several new features have been added.

New Features in 0.2.4:

* Italian Translation by Daniele Medri
* Initial support for importing Kino project files. (Seems complete, but not fully tested)
* Preliminary support for snap markers
* Play selected button on clip monitor.

Some important features are still missing, but Kdenlive is now useable for small projects. We would like people to test what we have and tell us which features they miss the most. We want to find out what is most important to people, and last not least we want to attract developers. There are many small and not so small things where people could help. Be it GUI development, XML/network development, development of plugins, or simply reporting bugs.

Preparing for Kdenlive 0.2.4

Kdenlive CVS is now in feature freeze for 0.2.4; only show-stopper bugs and translations remain before release. This is mainly a bug fix release, although there are several new features such as the new "marker" tool, and the ability to import Kino projects into Kdenlive.

If you know of any bugs in the CVS version of Kdenlive, let me know!

14/12/2003 - New features in cvs

Just a heads-up on some of the new features that have been going into CVS recently. Initial support for snap markers has been added. When finished, this feature will let you accurately align clips to each other at any frame, not limited to their end points.

A new load/save framework has been implemented for projects. This will allow for better compatability across versions of Kdenlive, and opens up the possibility of supporting project file formats from other video editors in the future.

You can give clips descriptions; this will become more useful when subclips are implemented.

Finally, you can play the defined inpoint/outpoint section of a clip by pressing Ctrl-Space, or clicking the relevant button on the monitor.

20/10/2003 - Kdenlive 0.2.3 released!

As of last Monday, Kdenlive and Piave version 0.2.3 have been released to the public. This release has a great deal of new features and improvements over the last released version, 0.2.0, including multiple video monitors, improved snap-to-clip support, AVI DV import, and numerous other improvements.

A full press release can be found here.
