Install Kdenlive video editor on Linux Ubuntu. The Kdenlive 19.04 has gone through an extensive re-write of its core code as more than 60% of its internals has changed, improving its overall architecture.
Kdenlive is video editor. It features an intuitive interface, allows you to capture from your webcam or import almost any video format to edit. You can then apply many real time video and audio effects, then export your work in many different formats. It features multi-track editing as wide range of video formats are accepted. It comes with multiple realtime video and audio filters, transitions and has a customizable layout.
Kdenlive allows you to use and arrange several audio and video tracks, each one can be locked or muted to your convenience. As it is based on the powerful FFmpeg libraries, Kdenlive can use almost any audio and video formats directly without the need to convert or re-encode your clips. Kdenlive can automatically create low resolution copies of your source clips to allow you doing the editing on any computer, and then render using full resolution. For an ehanced editing features, most effects can be keyframed, allowing you to change the parameters over time, using linear or smooth curves to achieve the result you want.
Kdenlive 19.04 Improvements include:
- The timeline has been rewritten to make use of QML.
- When you put a clip on the timeline, audio and video always go to separate tracks.
- The timeline now supports keyboard navigation: clips, compositions and keyframes can be moved with the keyboard. Also, the height of the tracks themselves is adjustable.
- In this version of Kdenlive, the in-track audio recording comes with a new voice-over feature.
- We have improved copy/paste: it works between different project windows. The proxy clip management has also been enhanced, as clips can now be individually deleted.
- Version 19.04 sees the return of support for external BlackMagic monitor displays and there are also new on-monitor preset guides.
- We have improved the keyframe handling, giving it a more consistent look and workflow. The titler has also been improved by making the align buttons snap to safe zones, adding configurable guides and background colors, and displaying missing items.
- We fixed the timeline corruption bug that misplaced or missed clips which was triggered when you moved a group of clips.
