Kdenlive: A Journey of Being a Leading Open Source Video Editor
summary
Kdenlive is a C++/Qt/KDE GUI around the MLT framework and FFmpeg, claims ~200k downloads, and migrates across KDE3→4→5 with a crowdfunding campaign in 2012 and KDE app status in 2015. Recent work delivers a refactored timeline (2019) and version 20.08 with stability and 5 workspaces, plus waveform scrubbing, audio stream selection, automatic mixer channels, keyframed track effects and drag‑drop bin→timeline. Roadmap targets same‑track transitions, nesting/multiple timelines, advanced trimming, multi‑channel routing, and optional AI features (super‑resolution, speech‑to‑text).
