Extract frame ¶

Example how to extract frame ¶

Kdenlive sends that frame to the stills gallery, which includes the image and the node structure. You can see if you display node graph by right-clicking, which is helpful to copy and paste adjustments for other clips.

Click export, name it something logical, pick a safe location on your computer and change the format down below to png.

Selecting this allows you to view all the video tracks at once in split screen in the project monitor. See picture.

Monitor overlay infos ¶

4 different monitor overlays help you to show you more information about your videos. These overlays will not be rendered to the final video.

Real time (drop frames)¶

Setting this to the Checked state means the clip monitor will drop frames during playback to ensure the clip plays in real time. This does not effect the final rendered file - it just effect how the clip appears when being previewed in the clip monitor
