[@kychemclass5850]

The idea/application of that effect is incredible. Tq.

[@TUXSIBUK]

Nice, Great tutorial. Cool Kdenlive effect

[@Craftlngo]

Thank you not only for the excellent tutorials but also for presenting open source software I would otherwise never learn about that they exist!

woah cool, I realy wanted an open sourse video edditor, but there weren't any when I was looking(or not good enough, like in blender)

[@storyspeakingtree]

Wow

I've learned several things from your tutorials, and wanted to give back a tip. I'm a little further along learning to edit/mix audio than to edit video, and I've noticed that to my ears your audio sounds a little "boxy" (too much mids). I boosted your highs and lows (from 5kHz up and 150Hz down) by 10dB and scooped the mids (at 1kHz) by 8dB, and to me the result sounds great. If you have the tools to EQ your audio and haven't played with this yet, you might give it a try and see what you think.

That's why equalization & audio presets were created because everybodies hearing is different.

very nice, and thanks for all these videos. I am trying out various solutions for editing surgery videos for conference presentations or education, so I appreciate the free tools. Are there any of the masks that allow for free form drawing instead of fixed shapes? If not, I can splice in edited frames using the picture method you showed previously.

[@TJFREE]

Good question, you can use the bezier curves / path tool to create a custom shape to mask, and it will be a similar process to what is shown in this. There is a really cool vector presentation program called Sozi that you might look into. It pairs nicely with Inkscape.

A little late to the party but the tool you're looking for in kdenlive is "Rotoscoping (Mask)" in the effects tab. Just drag it into the video and add points with left-click. To close the borders, right-click.

[@patrickweix8289]

@@_erayerdin Thanks so much! Still working through the process so you are in plenty of time!

[@daud4314]

nice

[@adantesarcade]

how could you do a custom shape?

[@jackb1803]

GIMP, Photoshop, Inkscape, etc. Always export in png format.

Hello there. I have a kdenlive problem I don't know how to solve. Whenever I am editing in kdenlive it's lagging. I always use mp4 mp3 and other supported formats for this software. I have to say that I have a pretty solid computer configuration 3.2 GHz CPU 8GB RAM NVIDIA 1050 GPU. Although I have all of this it's still lagging a lot when I edit videos. So if anyone knows what I can do to solve it or has a similar problem please give some advice or solution. Thanks and sorry for my English...

[@jackb1803]

Use proxy clips if possible. Also set your Project Monitor to 720p. This helped me a lot. Also know that you can pre-render portions of your project where you have lots of layers and effects applied. I've seen other YT videos that claim up to 40% more improvement using custom project and render settings.

[@eugeniogonzato]

Thanks for your job ❤❤

[@kudomos925]

Why aren't I getting the resizable frame?

[@jackb1803]

Click on the icon under the Project Monitor to enable editing.

[@yourkodi3945]

Can you do a tutorial for example love hearts etc can masks be used as transitions?

[@argedinopasoles]

awesome

[@ninomartin6135]

Did they remove Alpha Shapes (Mask) as an effect or mayhaps I am just blind?

[@123boot]

Me too, and all tutorials say that we need thr Alpha shapes (Mask) effect to do it 😕 It's an important effect but it's missing, what can we expect from linux.

[@123boot]

@@rightcaptain I mean kdenlive is well-known as a video editor for linux.

[@jackb1803]

In the effects window, click on the filmstrip icon, then type "alpha".

[@O1pi]

Thank you sirji
