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 (Firewire, FFmpeg, Screen Grab, Blackmagic) from this section.

Configure Firewire Capture

The image shows the Configure Firewire capture tab which can be accessed from the Settings>Configure Kdenlive menu or from the spanner icon in the Record Monitor>Firewire

The firewire capture functionality uses the dvgrab program. The settings applied here define how dvgrab will be used to capture the video. The dvgrab additional parameters edit box allows you to add extra dvgrab switches to the capture process that will run. See dvgrab manual for more info.

Configure Screen Grab Capture

This shows the configure tab for screen grab in ver 0.9.3 of kdenlive. It will be different in ver 0.9.2 because that version used Record My Desktop to do the screen capture.

Jog Shuttle

Configure a connected Jog-Shuttle device.

Playback

Configure the Video and Audio drivers and devices. For advanced users only.

Transcode

This controls the transcode functionality. The parameters section are ffmpeg parameters. Find help on them by issuing ffmpeg -h at a command line.

Transcode Options

Option Description Parameters Meanings of Parameters
Wav 48000Hz Extract audio as WAV file -vn -ar 48000 -vn=disable video, -ar 48000 = set audio sampling rate to 48kHz
