About Kdenlive

Kdenlive is a Free and Open Source video editing application, based on MLT Framework and KDE Frameworks 5. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License Version 2.

Building from source

Instructions to build Kdenlive are available on the KDE wiki.

Testing Kdenlive via Nightly Builds

  • AppImage (Linux): https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kdenlive_Nightly_Appimage_Build/
  • Flatpak (Linux): Add the kde flatpak repository (if not already done) by typing flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo on a command line. Install kdenlive nightly with flatpak install kdeapps org.kde.kdenlive. Use flatpak update to update if the nightly is already installed. Attention! If you use the stable kdenlive flatpak already, the *.desktop file (e.g. responsible for start menu entry) is maybe replaced by the nightly (and vice versa). You can still run the stable version with flatpak run org.kde.kdenlive/x86_64/stable and the nightly with flatpak run org.kde.kdenlive/x86_64/master (replace x86_64 by aarch64 or arm depending on your system)
  • Windows: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kdenlive_Nightly_mingw64/

Note * - nightly/daily builds are not meant to be used in production.
