Making Movies in Linux with Kdenlive

“I’ve been avoiding video editing for years. I’ve seen a couple
of tutorials that always made it look too complicated.

“But recently, at a model airplane fun fly, I shot a lot of
short video clips with my digital camera. I needed a way to combine
the good parts into a video I could put on the web. I tried a few
of the video editing apps available for Linux looking for something
that was easy for a first-timer to use, and settled on kdenlive. I
was amazed how easy it was to use, even for a first-timer. Turns
out there was no need to be afraid of video editing! Use the latest
version

“The most important part of getting started with kdenlive is:
Use the latest version, 0.7.7.1 or later.

“I started out with 0.7.5 since that’s what comes in Ubuntu
Karmic. 0.7.5 has a bug that will eventually corrupt your video
project. It’s possible to recover from that (by editing an XML
file) but it’s not easy. Don’t risk it — use 0.7.7.1 from the
beginning.”
