Written Tutorials
=================

.. note:: Some of these written tutorials were created a long time ago and reference much older versions of Kdenlive. While underlying techniques may still work, Kdenlive has added many new features or changed the way editing can be done in the meantime.

See :ref:`quickstart` for a step-by-step introductory tutorial
