Something with the settings went wrong. Go to: and try again.
Problèmes de rendu¶

Grésillements audio durant la lecture¶
Change the audio driver in (or Ctrl+Shift +,), select and play around with (Win7), (Win10), or to see what gives the best result.
You have to restart Kdenlive after each change.
Message This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized¶
Open (or press Ctrl+Shift+,). Then go to the section and make sure the paths point to the same path as "MLT profiles folder".
Download: qt.conf. Put the file qt.conf into the bin folder (the folder where kdenlive.exe is).
Première utilisation de Kdenlive¶
This issue should be solved with version 19.04.2-6. In order to make sure kdenliverc is correctly set up start Kdenlive twice (start -> close -> start). Then start your work.
Intel graphics card driver¶
Updated Intel graphics driver version leads to a corrupted Kdenlive GUI.
Solution 1: Open Kdenlive. Move the mouse to the top. The menus are showing up. Try to reach and select OpenGLES. Restart Kdenlive. This should solve your Intel graphic driver issue.
Solution 2: Press Win+R and type appdata. Go to Local and within it open kdenliverc with an editor. Search for [misc] and delete [misc] and the following entry. Then restart Kdenlive.
Les icônes sont manquantes.¶
Go to: and un-check Force Breeze Icon Theme. Kdenlive restarts and you should see the icons.

Go to: .
If this is not solving the problem: Press Win+R and type appdata. Go to Local and within it rename kdenliverc to kdenliverc.old. Start Kdenlive, close it and then start Kdenlive again.
If you have still problems delete proxy clips and other cached data by going to where you can delete cached data.
Windows 10: timeline stuttering or Kdenlive hangs¶
Most probably you got a major Win10 update (i.e 1809). If so, you have to update all drivers for audio and video.
Intel drivers can be updated with this Intel Updater.
Message Clip is invalid, will be removed¶
This message can appear if you do a clean reinstall of Kdenlive (see above). Simply close and open Kdenlive once, and it should be fixed.
Additionally this can be a problem either with the kdenliverc file or you have some mismatch in the %APPDATA%\local folder.
Message Failed to filter source in Motion Tracker effect¶
You may get an error of mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen C:\Program Files\kdenlive\lib\mlt/libmltjack.dll or animation initialized FAILED followed by many lines of Current Frame: <f>, percentage: <p>.
In this case, delete all kdenlive folders in C:\Program Files\, %AppData%\Roaming\, and %AppData%\Local\, and then do a new install of Kdenlive.
Tout bogue critique¶
Ceci décrit le processus pour réaliser une installation propre sous Windows®.
Firstly, delete your normal Kdenlive folder (containing the application).
Access the Appdata folder (Win+R and then type APPDATA in full caps). Go to Local and search for folder kdenlive.
Note
If you have any saved effects, or clips stored in your library, make a backup of the library and the effect-templates folders.
Then delete the kdenlive folder.
Reinstall the latest version of Kdenlive from the download page.

Plantage de Qt durant le rendu¶

When switching from version 17.12 to 18.04/18.08, a Qt rendering crash appears. To make sure this doesn't happen, you need to edit the kdenliverc file in the AppData\local folder. To access your appdata, press Win+R (Windows key and R key simultaneously) and type appdata. Go to local and within it rename kdenliverc to kdenliverc.old.
Il est impossible de supprimer Kdenlive. Lancement du processus à la fermeture.¶
This issue is solved with Windows version 18.12.1. Get the current version from the download page.
If you want to reinstall Kdenlive or re-run Kdenlive, it may tell you "The file or folder is open in another program". Windows® then won't let you delete or re-run Kdenlive.
To fix this you have to kill the running process: press and hold Ctrl+Shift+Esc and expand the task manager by clicking . Then find kdenlive.exe and dbus-daemon.exe, and click for both of them.
Or download Kdenlive-kill.zip. Unpack it and just double-click the batch file which kills all running Kdenlive processes.
Kdenlive crashes at start up, Kdenlive cannot be uninstalled¶
If Kdenlive crashes at startup or if the uninstaller doesn't work delete the entire folder: C:/Program Files/kdenlive.
Re-install Kdenlive.
You may have to manually delete the Kdenlive folder in the Start menu.
Kdenlive crash or green monitor¶
Get all newest Windows® updates. Afterwards, update your graphics card driver, your sound card driver and your printer driver.
Some crashes could occur of incompatibility of the graphics card and sound card with the newest Windows®10 updates (18.09 update).
After you have updated the drivers re-start the computer and try again by starting kdenlive.exe.
Si cela ne résout pas le problème, réglez votre imprimante standard sur « Microsoft XPS Document Writer » et essayez à nouveau de lancer Kdenlive.
Delete the kdenliverc file.
Make sure you set concurrent threads to 1: Go to (or Ctrl+Shift+,) and then in set Concurrent threads to 1.
