Re: [orca-list] How to use Kdenlive

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

I've done some video editing, though I didn't use kdenlive. I had the 
best luck with LiVES.

http://lives-video.com/

It worked well with Orca the last time I used it. The best thing about 
it is the fact that you can select video by its starting and ending 
frame numbers and play only the selected section so that you can be sure 
to get only the frames in your selection that you want. All your effects 
and transitions are available from standard GTK menus, making it very 
easy to find the things you need. I had off and on success running LiVES 
on Arch, but I think Ubuntu offered the best integration actually. The 
application and all its various pieces and parts seem to all fit 
together better there. I think the main problem is the fact that it uses 
ffmpeg to do the hard work, and its command line seems to be a moving 
target, especially for the more involved stuff. But when it works, its 
interface is quite speech friendly and is great for beginning to 
intermediate users, and probably more advanced users as well.


That said, maybe I should look at kdenlive some time. Now that it uses 
qt5, I'm sure the accessibility is quite a bit better now than it was 
the first time I saw it mentioned anywhere.
