Environment

MLT Environment

This setting tells Kdenlive where to find the MLT executables and profile files. Only advanced users would really need to changing these settings. Kdenlive is basically a front end to the MLT program and this setting tells Kdenlive where to find the engine that runs the whole application.

Default Folders

This setting controls where Kdnelive expects project files to be by default. It also controls what folder Kdenlive will use as a temorary file storage location and it controls where files captured from an external source will be saved.

Default Apps

This setting controls what application opens when you choose edit clip for a clip in the project tree. Note there is no application for video editing - because Kdenlive is the Video editor. Images and audio files are edited by the external appliations defined here. The video player is used by the DVD wizard previewer.

Capture

Configure the capture devices (Firwire, FFmpeg, Screen Grab, Blackmagic) from this section.

Jog Shuttle

Configure a connected Jog-Shuttle device.
