- Project profile vs. Render profile: What is the difference, how to chose correctly?
File Structure
As already pointed out in the Quickstart, we suggest to use a different project folder for each project. Kdenlive will generate the following folders for caching in the project folder:
ladspa/for the LADSPA xml effect files, not used anymore since Kdenlive 0.8.2proxy/for the proxy clips that have been generatedthumbs/for thumbnails to all used clipstitles/default location for the titles saved outside the project file.backup/for your project's automatic backup files
These directories can be deleted if not required anymore (for example for saving space on the harddrive). Kdenlive will create them again when you load the project the next time. Warning: The titles/ directory is the default directory for saved .kdenlivetitle title files. Make sure that you did not save any important files in there before deleting it.
Source clips can be located anywhere. Still, some thoughts about their location:
- Material (images, clips, audio) that is used for one project only can be put into a subdirectory of the project folder as well. This keeps all important file together, and searching for the files takes less time.
- Material that is used by multiple projects. I’ve got a video collection the same way that I have a photo collection.
