Color Correction & Grading - Kdenlive Effects Tutorial

[@contour799]

Windows 10 portable/installed version effect templates don't show - solution = search downloaded templates in C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Local\kdenlive\effect-templates and move them to Kdenlive folder kdenlive\bin\data\kdenlive\effect-templates or C:\Program Files\kdenlive\bin\data\kdenlive\effect-templates for installed version.

Thank you! I'll make sure to pin this for anyone who might be facing this issue.

[@kamiatoys]

not work for me.

[@macassiu]

This is the clearest tutorial on the topic that I've seen so far. You just explain what does what and that's just what I needed. Thanks !

[@nuxttux]

You're very welcome! I have a playlist on the topic of colors in Kdenlive, if you're interested.

[@Greenbay-bn3yk]

Another awesome tutorial. Kdenlive is the best and most popular video editor for Linux distros, and I love that it works well on any system(windows/linux), even older ones. Your contributions make Kdenlive even better. Thanks a lot for the tutorial!

[@nuxttux]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you for the feedback.

[@hubertdendraak4557]

Excellent, very helpful for those who are not beginners anymore - thanks! Would love to see a more detailed video with these same effect stacks in combination with curves.

[@nuxttux]

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. This is indeed for those crossing the beginner mark. I'll cover this topic more in depth as we go.

[@nuxttux]

Hi - The color correction video has been uploaded. Next up is Color Grading.

[@AnandaKrishnan3de]

This is a Golden Egg. Thank you. Kdenlive is good and this helps it to be awesome!

[@VanessaPipiripingo]

Thank you so much. It's quite difficult to find information about Kdenlive and this helped me a lot! Subscribed :)

[@nuxttux]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it helped. More of these to come, soon.

[@robertcortez1109]

Thank you for this tutorial kdenlive has many effects that I don't know how to use

[@nuxttux]

Happy to help!

[@jonatasluizdeoliveira3507]

Thank you for this tutorial I try done videos with profissional edition and I try use kdenlive and not Davinci and this tutorial is very good.

[@nuxttux]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TacBlades]

Really loved this will be giving it a go. Do you have an similar approach for audio processing in kdenlive ?

[@nuxttux]

I hope this helps in your edits. I haven't figured out audio processing in Kdenlive, I'm barely scratching the surface of available audio effects and how well they execute.

[@TacBlades]

@@nuxttux I am just working out the relationship between compressor/expander and normalise but it's tricky without analysis tools in kdenlive.

[@LockSpaz]

How did you rearrange the layout so drastically in the Color view? I can't get Histogram or Vectorscope to move.

[@nuxttux]

The best answer I can offer is in my Workspace Layout video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5XQaKWmpaidsJo. I use a vertical layout for the Color workspace. Hope it helps.

[@LockSpaz]

@@nuxttux Thanks.. I found that after.. still a bit tricky, but I think that may be due to running it on Windows.

[@skeptics5562]

Keep creating bro 👍

[@D.T.C.TVfiles]

Friend, how do you restart in Windows, I'm killing myself to find it! 1:20

[@nuxttux]

You simple close out of Kdenlive and open it again. Although if that doesn't work, you might have to find where the Effect Stacks are located and move them manually. Let me know if that's the case.

[@tobringaboutpodcast]

@@nuxttuxrestart did not work for me.any advise?

[@SergiiStarodubtsev]

Thanks. I would rather watch the walk-through video how to make the video fully ready

[@nuxttux]

You'll find the entire process broken down in this playlist, kzbin.info/aero/PL9Ry3nn8UG5b8sIKt-mT8pWPYcvl5DYGB Let me know if it helps.

[@jtrk_89]

Hi, I can't find the installed effects anywhere. Can anyone help me with this issue?

[@nuxttux]

Are you on Windows or Linux?

[@jtrk_89]

@@nuxttux It's Windows. I have tried moving the file "effect-templates" from Local to Roaming, but nothing changes

[@nuxttux]

Kdenlive keeps the effect-templates in two locations. Try moving the folder from: C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\kdenlive\effect-templates To: C:\Program Files\kdenlive\bin\data\kdenlive\effect-templates Then re-open Kdenlive.

[@jtrk_89]

@@nuxttux i couldn't find the "kdenlive" files in "Program Files" though.

[@nuxttux]

See the pinned comment on this video, it talks about a similar issue. Let me know if that one works.

[@manyiceclimbers]

After reviewing and experimenting with these effects I was not able to set a limit to luminance. Example, I have video light by headlight which creates an over lit area. Using the effects I could not limit the over lit area and not reduce the overall luminance. Having a curve like effect that would set the limit to luminance would limit the maximum brightness.

[@nuxttux]

Kdenlive has Curves and Bezier Curves effects. I've been considering adding it to the stacks for advanced controls. However there is the Levels which could be used to limit the brightest areas. In the meanwhile, you can manually add Curves effect.

Can we render our video in hd on kdenlive? Please help

[@nuxttux]

Yes, It's important to set your project resolution when first creating the project, you can set the default resolution in Kdenlive configuration, and you can modify the project resolution in the project section up on the menu bar (set the resolution before importing your assets. Next, you have several options in the render window regarding the output "quality", standard; lossless; etc.

[@JAAHUNGHAAM]

@@nuxttux Thanks. Perhaps a tutorial on that would give you a content🥴

[@nuxttux]

It's in the making. However, I can recommend this tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/labSmH-jZpV-e8k

@@nuxttux cool, thanks.

[@BrunoMiguelLoureiro]

I've this message when applying the LUT: Apply LUT [filter avfilter.lut3d ] Cannot init scale filter: No such file or directory

[@nuxttux]

Do you get that message if you add Apply LUT from your local effects?

[@BrunoMiguelLoureiro]

@@nuxttux no, if I add the Apply LUT filter it works fine

[@nuxttux]

The error isn't an issue, it will still find where Kdenlive put the LUTs on your system. However, I did update the file, so you can update and the error should go away.

[@BrunoMiguelLoureiro]

@@nuxttux It sure did go away. Thank you 🙏
