Mastering kdenlive

If you are working on bug files then it is a good idea to enable proxy clips.

Proxy clip location is ~/.cache/kdenlive/proxy which I clear from time to time.

You can also clear it from the interface by going to Setting > Managed Cached Data

It is also possible to create proxy profiles.

You might experience some errors while rendering.

sudo pacman -S mlt movit sox swh-plugins

• Cut: Shift + R
• Razor Cut: X
• Selection: S
• Remove space: Right click and select Remove Space

• Right click on the Project Bin | Add Title Clip
• Create your title with boxes, text, align it
• Save As (Ctrl + S) to save title clip to a directory to a file with extension .kdenlivetitle
• Open Document (Ctrl + O) to open existing title clip
• Use variables/placeholder %s and then save the clip to use them as templates

Go to Project Bin | Right Click | Add Title Clip

Manage is in ~~/.config/kdenlive/kdenliverc~. Under [env] section modify these lines.

This is the default project directory.

defaultprojectfolder[$e]=$HOME/myfiles/kdenlive/

This is the place where files will be rendered by default. Also the location from where title templates will be picked.

videofolder[$e]=$HOME/myfiles/kdenlive/

Only titles places in the $HOME/myfiles/kdenlive/titles will appear under the template list.

All the effects that you save from the GUI will be saved in ~$HOME/.local/share/effects
