Kdenlive 0.7 is out

[daverich]

http://www.kdenlive.org

does anyone know how to make a .deb? - or indeed whether this will be included in Kubuntu backports?

Kind regards

Marillat have it packaged already. Some good soul could make a good job in repackaging those, since debian dependencies are a bit different from ubuntu. A dirty job indeed...

[DeadSuperHero]

There's a useful script on kde-apps.org, lemme see...

doesn't that builder wizard only work in KDE3 however?

Kind regards

[DeadSuperHero]

No, it works fine in KDE4, it even built the KDE4 version for me.

Aye. Especially given that there seems to be problems running the Debian versions if you don't have backports enabled on Ubuntu 8.10 (Ubuntu 8.04 / Kubuntu are fine).

The builder wizard is really nice though. I just wish we had us some native .deb's... (thus my signature ;))

If anyone is considering just taking the contents of the Kdenlive and MLT packages for Debian and just chucking them into the filesystem on Ubuntu, then don't bother :-) I tried that and although the program started, it said that all my video files were invalid and couldn't be imported.

Back to square one!

[daverich]

I find it strange that they haven't made a .deb file yet.

does anyone know is it going to be put into the backports for Ibex?

Kind regards

I made some deb packages for Intrepid.

Look at my blog

Could you post a version of that in english please.

So far it seems to have worked for me...

I hope it works in hardy as I will not update to ibex... too many issues.

Thanks. Was able to install via the package manager.

Opened it, says it cannot find the Mlt profiles. Back to google.

pff.

I just had a horrible experience with linux movie editors.

I installed Open Movie Editor, it segfaults constantly.

I installed Kino, it get stuck when importing a picture, the cli output told me it can't handle those formats. (wtf?)

Then I compiled Lives, well tried to, it gave errors during installing.

I then tried Avidemux, again errors while compiling.

Then I tried Cinerella. After symlinking 50000 libs, I got it to work. It gave errors when I was rendering the video.

I eventually just settled on not editing the video and adding a mp3 track to it using the cli. It took 20 seconds.

I guess I'll take a look at Kdenlive when I feel like editing another movie.

The path for Mlt is: /usr/share/mlt/profiles or at least it is for me! (Version 0.5 in the repos is old, try this PPA (https://launchpad.net/~baudm/+archive).)

[tadcan]

It probably wasn't made when I installed it. I don't have it.

Maybe it was because I used the package manager and not the command line?

Never used PPA before is it a new release?

[cowanh00]

It probably wasn't made when I installed it. I don't have it.

A PPA is a Personal Package Archive. It is basically where someone builds a package that isn't included in Ubuntu yet. Make sure you install Kdenlive 0.7 for that Mlt path to work.

[tadcan]

I reinstalled it with the command line. Have got past that problem.

Yeah, basically all of those you listed are useless, except Cinelerra. Did you use the Cinelerra CV (http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu) repos? It should be painless if you install it that way. It's definitely worth it to use the CV version instead of the official version. Cinelerra is pretty awesome.

But if you're doing fairly simple stuff, Kdenlive is pretty awesome, too. Hopefully this new version has fixed some of the bugs.

[Changturkey]

There is a fork of Cinelerra called Lumiera I believe. Still in pre-alpha.

[EdThaSlayer]

You guys are making this all so difficult.

Just visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KdenliveSVN and read.

Even a user like me installed it pretty quickly.

Enjoy!):P

Lumiera (correct me if I'm wrong) is only for editing single movie files, not for making movies. Cinelerra and Kdenlive are the best, and I prefer Kdenlive because it's simpler.

Lumiera is a fork of Cinelerra, so i guess it will have similar capabilities.

[kpkeerthi]

Great news. How stable/crashy is kdenlive now?

(I'm waiting for a K3B KDE4 port.)

[Ubuntiac]

There's still some bugs being ironed out, but it is much, much more stable than the repo versions (the last of which were SVN grabs not meant to be used publicly). It's also quite a bit faster than it was and with a bunch of nice video screen capture stuff built in.

I never really got 0.5/0.6 to work properly for me, but 0.7 seems to be really nice (especially with DV / HDV / MPEG), and 0.7.1 is due out in the next couple of weeks.


I'm really looking forward to a KDE4 port of K3B, too. I've heard there is one somewhere around, but that there's still some polishing left to do before releasing it.
