If you followed Kdenlive’s activity these last years, you know that we dedicated all our energy into a major code refactoring. During this period, which is not the most exciting since our first goal was to simply restore all the stable version’s features, we were extremely lucky to see new people joining the core team, and investing a lot of time in the project.

We are now considering to release the updated version in April, with KDE Applications 19.04. There are still a few rough edges and missing features (with many new ones added as well), but we think it now reached the point where it is possible to start working with it.

Testing day tomorrow



This is why we are organizing a test day event tomorrow, 22nd of February 2019, from 17:00 to 22:00 CET, so you can try it, report the problems you encounter and help us shape the future.
