Project Settings Dialog

This is reached via Project Settings in the 프로젝트 모니터 - 오른쪽 클릭 메뉴 menu. This dialog has 3 Tabs.

프로젝트 설정 탭

Project Settings dialog

The Project Settings dialog is shown when you start a new project (File ‣ New). This allows you to set all basic properties for your project. You can also edit the properties of your current 프로젝트 모니터 - 오른쪽 클릭 메뉴 in Project ‣ Project Settings.

프로젝트 폴더

As recommended in the 빠른 시작 section, you should create a new folder for your project. This folder will hold all temporary files that are used during the editing of your project (thumbnails, proxy clips, etc).

동영상 프로필

The video profile will define the format of your project. A list of predefined formats is available in Kdenlive, for example DV / DVD PAL, HD 1080i 25 fps, etc.

You can use the pull-down menus to filter the list of profiles by FPS (Frames per second) or Scanning (Interlaced or Progressive)

The profile defines the video resolution, as well as display aspect ratio, color space and a few other parameters.

You should carefully choose your project format and select the one which best fits your desired output. All video operations on the project (like compositing, scaling, etc) will then use this profile. Advanced users can create custom project profiles in 프로젝트 프로필 관리.

For example, if your goal is to create a DVD, you should use a DVD profile with the correct frame rate (PAL / NTSC) and display ratio (widescreen or not).

트랙

You can select the default number of audio and video tracks that your project will have. You can always add or remove tracks in an existing project.

섬네일

The Audio and Video thumbnails are shown in the 타임라인. They can also be enabled/disabled through buttons in the 상태 표시줄.

프록시 클립 탭

Proxy Clips settings dialog

When the Proxy Clip feature is enabled, Kdenlive will automatically create reduced versions of your source clips, and use these versions for your editing. Kdenlive will replace the proxy clips with the originals for a full resolution when rendering.

The Generate for videos larger than x pixels option will automatically create proxy clips for all videos added to the project that have a frame width larger than x. This also applies to images.

You also have the choice to manually enable / disable proxy clips for each clip in your project bin by right-clicking on the clip and choosing Proxy Clip.

You can choose an Encoding profile for the proxy clips, which will define the size, codecs and bitrate used when creating a proxy. The proxy profiles can be managed from the Kdenlive Settings dialog (Settings ‣ Configure Kdenlive ‣ Project Defaults).

External proxy clips When enabled it reads the proxy clips generated by your video camera. More details see: Using Camera Proxy Clips.

메타데이터 탭

Screenshots below show the Metadata tab of Kdenlive.

Metadata set up here will be written to the files rendered from the project if 렌더링 is checked in File Rendering.

The Cache data tab shows the data used in the project including the timeline preview, proxy clips, audio thumbnails, and video thumbnails.

You can click on the trashcan icon to clear the cache data for that category.
