[@budgettech5229]

Thank you so much for this series it has helped me so much if kdenlive.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

You're welcome ! Glad it helped !

Beautifully made tutorial. Well edited, narrated and straight to the point! Thanks!

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Thank you :)

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Let me know what you want to see next :)

[@TheLinuxEXP]

That's only.possoble through the title editor, but you do have to open that window. You can click the "show background" checkbox to see where to place the text though !

[@TheLinuxEXP]

No problem !

[@IgnoreMyChan]

I think the video title could be a bit more descriptive, like that it's about KDENLive ;-)

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Damn you're right, I forgot to change it before uploading...

[@IgnoreMyChan]

@@TheLinuxEXP No worries. You fixed it :-)

Très bonne vidéos d’explication sur la retouche. Je ne suis pas actuellement sur Linux et j’utilise Camtasia mais ta chaîne me permet de rester informer de ce qu’il s’y passe si un moment je devais y retourner :) Hâte de voir la prochaine !

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Merci :)

Where do you get the stock background video

[@elbadrey]

Perfect, thank you for your tut, so let me ask you how you make the transition @3:14?

Nick, thanks for the video!!

[@TheCynicalDude_]

When I use transform I can no longer see the red dot or red rectangle on the monitor. How can I restore it? EDIT: Just found the answer, for anyone else having this issue. It's the little button next to the fast forward button, under the monitor.

[@blaingunter]

But how can we limit the duration of an effect? I am having a hard time getting a simple blur box to not blur the entirety of the video track.

[@danlightened]

Before this tutorial, I had heard about keyframes in video editing but had no clue how to use it. It's almost amazing how much I got to learn in this 8 minutes. How would you compare Kdenlive to DaVinci or Hitfilm? Although, my current video editing requirements are more basic. I'm thinking of openshot or shotcut. What would you suggest?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

I'm using Resolve now, and I'd say with GPU acceleration, and a better titling tool, Kdenlive would be a good contender for it

[@jackb1803]

As a beginner, I found Resolve too complex for me, and unstable on my 8 year old laptop. I really liked HitFilm. It was capable with a full set of features, but it too would crash doing the simplest operations (e.g. dragging a clip to the timeline). Also many effects were watermarked unless you purchased the paid version. So I finally settled on Kdenlive. Stable, great set of features, something I can understand, and free. I've also used Premier Elements (the junior version of Premier Pro). It was stable but missing features I wanted. I stay away from subscription software.

[@fernandoinv1972]

hello. do you have a video explaining how to save templates for texts ? like you did here with the effects, thanks"!"

[@Fast11GTR]

When rendering with rotation and crop, It aways has this transparent boarder that doesnt show on the previes. Does anyone have a good reasoning as to why this happens? This happened on a new project with mine and both rotations had this despite one having the inital video resolution and the other not

[@neilwood6773]

I love you Nick

[@JOELwindows7]

Yay! Finally, professional effects tutorial! I want to get out of Premiere before I even get into it! 7:40 cool and good! also pls tutorial how to make screen shake and deep fried memes

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Thanks ! What is a deep fried meme ?

[@RaulDipeas]

Great video, thanks!

Thank you :)

I recently downloaded many transitions in Kdenlive Add-On Installer. but i can not find them in effect/composition tab. Can anyone tell me where i found those transitons?? please help

[@edmund0dao]

cant believe this is free!! thanks!

Have you shared those customized .PGM by any chance?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Yes, all my custom wipes and all my video rushes are available to my Patreon supporters :)

nice tutorial, thanks

[@lukelblitz3627]

are there ways to invert the images on their axis?

[@jackb1803]

The "Rotate and Shear" effect can do this, as well as "Flip Horizontally" and "Flipo".

Thanks, it's on my list :)

Tutorial project sources link doesn't work.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Yeah, the video is very old, and the account where these were hosted has been shut down a while ago

[@biologyplus2368]

how to seen properties box of effect in kdenlive screen?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

You have to enable it in the "view" menu, I think :)

[@jackb1803]

On my version 22.08.3, you need to click on the clip which has the applied effect, then the properties box will open. Make sure your playback head is positioned over the clip so you can see your applied changes. Also as mentioned by TheLinuxExp, you may need to enable it in the "view" menu.

[@girett012]

Has anyone tried the Olive Video Editor? Some people says it runs better than kdenlive

[@TheLinuxEXP]

I tried it and it clearly doesn't for me, yet

[@rodrigolustosa1167]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@s3minii595]

why does my transform doesnt have red border to adjust the size?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

You need to have the effect selected in the properties panel. Just click on your transform effect and you'll get it :)

[@s3minii595]

@@TheLinuxEXP does the software still have bugs like crashing or cant put anything on the vid 1 vid 2? Because i cant put both image and video in it.and when i random clicked a button i can put images in but it instantly crashed

@@s3minii595 I'm using version 22.08.3 on an 8 year old laptop and have no problems.

[@iamlinux]

Do you like the new version of Kdenlive?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Yeah, it took a few days to get used to only dragging the video portion of a clip in the timeline, and the reordering of the effects, but it's been working great for me

[@roshanthapamagar1318]

hey, I am fairly new in Kdenlive, I dont get those red moveable rect transform in the screen,can anybody help me ??

[@jackb1803]

When you set a key frame, the icon will be either a square, circle, or diamond. This is dependent on how smooth the transform will be when applied. To access the interpolation menu (in version 22.08.3) click on the keyframe icon, then click on the arrow beneath the timeline in the effects properties box and select "Keyframe Interpolation".

[@mr.odball7138]

how to set the transform effect time ??

[@jackb1803]

The transform effect, like all the others, stretch or shrink to match the length of the clip. You will need to set key frames to control where in the clip the effect will be applied.

[@BlockyRaptor]

The handle doesnt appear in the middle

[@90n1n74]

awesome!

[@Gioyoji]

my trasnform effect is broken

[@zekawat]

thanks

[@jonizulo]

Can you rotate clips on it's axis?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Yes, I explain it in the video :) X rotates from left to right, Y rotates forwards or backwards and Z rotates around the vertical axis of the clip

[@jackb1803]

Yes, at least 3 effects can do this in addition to the one used in this video. Type "flip" in the effects search box.

[@skyfuzzball8312]

Bro.... You use Zorin OS ads... For this

Thanks :)

[@KTSpeedruns]

This is 3 years old, so I hope the team took some time to overhaul the UI for keyframing, because this looks like SHIT to use for keyframing.

[@multicat2742]

cool

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Thank you :)

[@didacusa3293]

Please switch back to kdenlive cause know it has hardware acceleration in render in nightly builds.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

I’ll try it, but if it’s not in the stable release, no way I’m using it on a day to day basis :)

Olive is better lol.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

It has potential to be better, but it can't do half of what I need it to, and it's extremely unstable at the moment. Once they have a first stable release, with as many effects available as Kdenlive does, then I'll definitely consider using it :)

[@fatihnri2484]

@@TheLinuxEXP Kdenlive doesn't have many things that are keyframable and it also doesn't have nested sequence.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Almost every effect I use is keyframable, the transform effect alone can do a lot, blur, rotate, all of them supports keyframes. Audio effects too. Nested timeline should be coming but to be honest, I never felt like I needed it for what I do. Might be different for people working on longer projects though

[@fatihnri2484]

@@TheLinuxEXP Can you keyframe color clip to make it change color?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Not sure about that one, I don't use much color correction since I mostly do screencasts that don't require it. I don't think the Curves effect supports keyframes, but that's not the only one available in Kdenlive.
