Reflecting for a second on the ability of everyone doing video production that wasn't even available on mainframes not that long ago, with the speed to make and change in real time... WOW!

it is great that there are open source versions of applications

"It's always nice to be able to select lots of ducks" I wholeheartedly agree

Ahh... after a week of work related deadline stress, Sunday morning, a good cup of coffee, ducks and ExplainingComputers to relax and enjoy,. Thank you for yet more excellent content.

There's also a project converter that can export Kdenlive projects to XML. It can be imported to Davinci resolve, which you can then convert that to another XML that can be opened in FCP or Premiere Pro. This means it's safe to use kdenlive as an offline editor that can be integrated to these other workflows. That's what I look for in open source. The potential for cross compatibility. If I ever lose access to Premiere, kdenlive is a potential replacement.

I had several moments of anxiety when I thought you were always going to stop the clip playback just before you finished saying _where_ in North Wales you were, but thankfully we got to hear you telling us it was Colwyn Bay. Phew! I hope you enjoyed your visit there!

I am from Premier background, but I work on Davinci, but when I came across with Kdenlive, I liked its feature rich interface and feature. I am learning it as my secondary tool

THANK YOU. I've got a whole portable drive full of video from various kayaking trips, and I've been too scared of the video editing process even to begin playing with it. You've given me the confidence to at least start experimenting.

The "Alt" trick to manipulate one clip in a group looks very useful! Thanks for pointing it out.

Once again an excellent review. Kdenlive is one of my favorite video editors. This version appears to address several concerns I had with a previous version. Good job.

An upgrade in Windows 10, has left me unable to launch Davinci Resolve 15, (The highest version my laptop can handle)and so I'll be trying this out to see if I can finish my project. It looks very useful, and the UI is similar to the software I have used in the past. Thanks for another great tutorial Chris.

Thanks very much for making this video. Kdenlive is a godsend for those using lower-end computers, and it deserves some promotion like this.

15:43 DUCKIES!!! 🦆💕 Anyway, it's always nice to see what's new with my favorite video editor. And that part where you downloaded it to a USB stick and ran the .exe from there was a genius idea. Here's a couple bucks for the tea fund. Love you, Chris!

How serendipitous. I downloaded it about 2 hours ago and was going to fiddle later! Hopefully I'll pick up a few tips!

Peter great to see you again always something new to see and learn

Thank you. I've been using Kdenlive more often recently and am often frustrated because I don't know how to do what I want. Even simple things can be difficult if you don't know a program's interface paradigm or procedure. Though I've worked with linear editors for many years, I still learned a few important things from this video that the Kdenlive manual did not help me with. With complex software, the user often doesn't know where to look for help to achieve their outcome or may not even know the terminology to search for. This effectively creates a 'language' barrier where even high-quality documentation might not be effective. Sometimes, it's as simple as finding a button dedicated to that task, but you might have searched for an hour and seen documentation saying only "click to open the Example menu and select Function A" while you have no idea where this menu is located as it does not exist in the main menu tree. The location is obvious to everyone that already knows where the button is, but not to those that don't. Intuitive GUI design is difficult, especially for complex software.

It's amazing this app is available and free. Just discovered it and blown away by the feature set and ease of use. (with the help of a couple of intro videos like this one.)

Kdenlive is my editor of choice. I couldn't manage without it to be honest, so this look at the new release is invaluable... will upgrade when it appears in the FreeBSD pkg tree. Thanks for the video & cheers Chris!

The maturity of this app is amazing. I did work in final cut and premiere back in a day and this looks very good

Great video and advice. The fact that you use kdenlive to produce your videos says it all Super that you champion open source software in a pragmatic way that won't put off Windows users from trying FOSS or even Linux Maybe it could finally be the Year of the Linux Desktop? :) I use xfce on a refurb laptop and I really think Windows users would love it, especially as these days almost everything is web-based.. The lack of cruft and "sponsored apps" is such a breath of fresh air. I have installed Debian stable on 2 people's older machines who had zero IT knowledge and they are totally happy with it.

Every video i watch with this guy make me like him nore and more. Such useful information as I'm getting into linux. (Ubuntu)

I also use Premiere, however I’m seriously impressed by the functionality of this tool. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Been using Kdenlive 23.08 this past time on a humble AMD Zen APU with 8GB of RAM, and was able to produce some semipro-level content for clients. No stability or crashes in Debian, running it as an AppImage; colour me impressed, it's been a long way since the unstable performance I had on Windows. Aside from a few pain points, Kdenlive made me stray away from DaVinci Resolve. Really excited to try out the new version. Thanks, Chris!

Thanks Chris for enlightening me on the new KDEnlive software. Have a great day!

So that’s how Baywatch was made, good to see the HOFF still getting to the beach , another great vid

Wow, this is great. I haven't done a lot of video. However, my niece asked me to video her wedding, and I've been wondering what to use to make it much nicer. Thank you Chris. 😊

I set up a new laptop this week, and downloaded Kdenlive, so this video couldn't be better timed for me! Many thanks.

Like always an excellent video presentation... And kdenlive has nothing to be jealous from other more professional video editing apps .

I've been using KdenLive for quite a while now, though I am running Debian stable, so I won't get the latest features until the next release. Stability is everything to me. But it won me over for the tasks I needed to do. I don't need a fancy editor, so this fits my needs very well indeed. I think the guys at KDE make some excellent software, so it is no surprise that I run the KDE desktop as well.

Good day Christopher, thanks for the many excellent videos you have shown on your channel. As with this video on KdenLive 24 it definitely takes a lot of experimental guess work and test time out of the equation. KdenLive is now 24 is my video editor of choice on Linux as I transition away from privacy stealing MS Windows.

What a brilliant overview. We can appreciate the time that went into making this video (even if you did so with Premiere Pro).

The alt key thing to modify a clip in a group is awesome.

Wow, that project got far within the last 6 years. Thx for bringing it back to me.

A great introduction into Kdenlive 24 Chris. I have rarely done any video editing, but this video makes delving into doing some more appealing. It is amazing what can be done now days with an opensource program, that can run on less powerful hardware, and even multiple operating systems. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks for bringing this application to my notice!

Kdenlive also has a useful looking audio to text function for creating subtitles. I’ve only tested it a bit with clear sounding speech, but it seemed to work fairly well for English and Japanese.

This is exactly what I need. Thanks, Chris!

Amazing how far they came with it, and thanks Chris for the tutorial and sharing... I used Kdenlive several years ago, very much liked their simple and intuitive approach that got the standard workflow for most video editing software. It was great to see something that works somewhat close to Premiere and Final Cut which were the editing suites I was used to, but on open source software. Seems that they only improved on the whole thing and worked out the kinks and bugs. Not currently using editing software much these days, but I'll certainly keep Kdenlive installed for any odd job that comes out. At least for me personally it was a bit more intuitive to transition from Premiere to Kdenlive instead of daVinci Resolve, even though now I know the basics of both.

running a video editer from a usb is a cool feature

Thank you Chris for this latest video. I do enjoy using Kdenlive for when I'm making slide shows/videos, I'm impressed with this new version. Take care & kind regards Alan

VERY COOL!! You explained some awesome software today!!!!

Greeeeeeeeetings! ❤️ as always gorgeous video example footage!

Wonderfully comprehensive as usual Chris. I've never used an editor but would love to learn. I've always dreamed of making a film. Now I know what to use. I've been using KDE Neon, it's a great distro. Thank you.

Great video ! I needed a little instruction in Kdenlive ! This explains a lot, and I look forward to trying new version!

It's good to have software that can run on affordable hardware.

Thanks Chris. I'll pass this on to my granddaughter and my friends daughter. Both are doing versions of a photography course

Thanks - a very useful overview that reduces the intimidation factor

I just switched from a Mac where I was using iMovie to a PC (for increased storage), and I've been trying all of the "free" video editing software programs. Most all have limitations without buying premium versions. Kdenlive seems very promising. I just need to figure out color correction, and I think I'll be going good with it. Thanks for such a informative video!

Thanks for the tour, Prof!

Very nice to see!

Thanks for the video. This is what i needed to see today.

I prefer not-too-many ducks. I'll be coming back and watching this video again because I have some video editing to do after years of avoiding it. Thanks for a great video once again! 👍

“It is always nice to select lots of ducks” in your Kdenlive 24 video. Looking forward to your next video!

He’s in Colwyn bay , how fascinating 🧐 it would take me 1 day and 19 hours to get there!

Thank you for this tutorial. It has been very helpful for my commercial projects.

I've recently started playing around with AI related web based programs such as Invideo AI, and being on the free plan there's watermarks and stock material that doesn't look so great. So I thought of editing these with a dose of my in sim graphics created by various space sims.. And yes, my laptop is growing older by the year.. which means video editors take their toll on my humble yet beloved old Dell. Fancy seeing EC doing this timely review..Spot on as usual Chris, Downloading Kdenlive for Windows right now, and wouldn't you know, I've got KDE Neon with Wayland waiting on the other end. 😊

As always great video and enjoyable video. Thank you very much.

Thx Chris, very instructional🙏

Thanks again for another great video. Coincidentally I just finished using kdenlive to edit my total eclipse video that me and my kids made for the April 8th eclipse. I muddled through it on my own, but I wish that I had found your video first!

Thanks for the video, Kdenlive is a fantastic project!

I love Kdenlive, so thanks for telling us all some of the new features, It's very helpful, Chris. 😁

I picked up KDenLive because of your recommendation on this channel and I've been pretty satisfied with it. I don't do anything professional and it does the trick. Speaking of tricks I didn't expect to learn much in this video but holy heck was I wrong. That timeline preview is going to change my game and when I start editing again I'm definitely going to look at whether proxy clips are worth it. Also great breakdown of the new features. I can't wait to play with some easing.

Awesome video. Saved for future reference.

Excellent video, perfect for me. I am setting up Mint on an older PC for a relative to have for the main purpose of starting to learn how to edit videos.

Thank you. This reminded me of Audacity (audio editing), and the possibilities are amazing.

Thanks a lot for editing software video explanation, very appreciated. You have an incredible 360 degree knowledge. See you next.

Thumbs up now, but saved to watch later when i can watch uninterrupted!

Excellent tutorial on video editing, Chris 👍! Bonus point for slow hardware hacks 🙋.

Thanks, very interesting and timely.

Kden Live looks great! Thanks for the video!

Great video. So glad I subscribed.

Excellent. Thank you

Thanks for this video😊

Ah Sunday kdenkilive is very nice thanks for the video have a nice week

Thanks for the video. I normally use Shotcut for my personal work. It's nice to be introduced to the simple and most common tasks in Kdenlive. I'm sure to be giving it a go in the near future now.

Excellent Editor, used it for a year, Please do a video series on Kdenlive Tutorials, would be helpful

Live, and on location in North Wales, no less. This man does what has to be done. 👍

Chris you must be a mind reader! Thank you so much for reviewing the latest version of Kdenlive. I have recently started to re-using Kdenlive on Windows and going to put a comment on one of your videos to ask if you could review the latest version of the product and here we are, you never disappoint. Great content as always.

I have over 465 KZfaq videos published. EVERY video was edited using Kdenlive and Audacity for audio editing. It has some annoying issues, but overall very good. I run Kdenlive on Linux Mint on a Lenovo i7 laptop.

Great program. Thanks!

I use a different nightly build of Kdenlive per project. I spotted something in this video that was my handiwork. So I'm honoured.

I'm impressed with how much STUFF it must be doing in the background, and also with the awesome size of the ideal monitor. :) That seems to be a thing across most KDE apps .... they're efficient enough to run on lesser hardware.

Good morning/afternoon, everyone! :)

thanks for making this video

Easy to understand

Fantastic. Was not aware of this software. Please do more FOSS reviews.

Im glad I watched this.

Everything I needed to know about this software. (25 years of editing experience with Avid, Premier...)

I'm just getting started with editing on PC, I was doing it on iPhone with various apps but these apps are limited in functionality and not open source. Thanks for a great intro, I'll try Kdenlive first!

Great video, thank you! I'd like to see just host to pixelate / blur a section of a video as that area/selection moves about the frame. I'm mostly interesting in learning how to do this for privacy.

Excellent tutorial.

Kdenlive is still my go-to for editing.

Greetings Chris B. This Kdenlive review video is giving some deja vu vibes. Like the part where you were on a beach. If I'm not mistaken, there was another video where you were on the same beach. Noticed, you've been running KDE. That's interesting, unlike your preference for Mint.

I'm glad I watched; my version is at 22.12

Great looking video editor alternative.

I've used Kdenlive and I think it's fantastic

Nice video. I'm in the process of putting a build together for such a thing. 👍

I would love to see a series about free and open source music creation software and synthesizers. There's a lot of free software surrounding music creation, ranging from digital audio workstations to plug-ins and synthesizers. I'm just suggesting, not saying you have to make a series on this, but I definitely think it would make for a great series, or you could review software like LMMS, which is a free and open source digital audio workstation, and it's cross platform, so it works on just about anything. Your videos are amazing! Keep up the great work :)

Great❤

I personally like Shotcut for open source video editing but Kdenlive looks great. That preview render is awesome.
