Problémy s klipem

In the dialog, sort the column as you need it when click on Type, Status, Original Path, New Path.

  • Recreate missing proxies if the proxies were deleted

Vybrané položky

  • Search Manually search manually for the new path

  • Remove removes selected clips from re-assigning to a new path (useful when source clips are not available anymore)

  • Use Placeholders instead of the original clips

Render

This function opens the Rendering Dialog with which you can create your video clip. Please refer to the Rendering section of this documentation for more details. The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Return

OpenTimelineIO import

  • Import a timeline with multiple tracks and clips

  • Support for markers and timeline markers

Poznámka

OTIO files do not contain information about rendering, so we get the render resolution from the first video clip.

OTIO markers on the timeline stack are converted to Kdenlive timeline markers.

OTIO markers on clips are converted to Kdenlive clip markers. Note that clip markers work differently between Kdenlive and OTIO; in Kdenlive they are shared between each instance of the clip, in OTIO the they are unique to each instance of the clip.

If the OTIO marker metadata does not contain the Kdenlive marker type, we pick the Kdenlive guide/marker with the closest color to the OTIO marker.

OpenTimelineIO Export

  • Export a timeline with multiple tracks and clips

  • Support for markers and timeline markers

Poznámka

Timeline markers are converted to OTIO markers on the timeline stack.

Clip markers are converted to OTIO markers. Note that clip markers work differently between Kdenlive and OTIO; in Kdenlive they are shared between each instance of the clip, in OTIO they are unique to each instance of the clip.

The Kdenlive marker types are stored as OTIO metadata for round-tripping files. This allows the timeline markers and clip markers to be properly recreated when importing an OTIO file that was created with Kdenlive. The metadata is stored under the key „kdenlive“ to keep it separate from metadata of other applications.

Open Backup File

This function opens the list of automatic backups of the project Kdenlive creates.

This function opens the Project Settings dialog where you can set all basic properties of the project.

Project Settings window

More details about the various parameters and tabs are available in the Project Settings section of the documentation.

Výstraha

Certain things cannot be changed once assets have been added to the project or put on the timeline. Changing certain properties of the project may lead to unwanted results. It is highly recommended to create a copy of the project file before changing project settings.

Poznámka

Changing the project folder location does not work properly. In most cases the files are not moved.
