Kdenlive 25.04 is out with background removal (SAM2), OpenTimelineIO import/export, performance enhancements, optimized audio waveforms and lots workflow improvements and bug fixes.
The next major release of Kdenlive brings a 300% performance boost for generating audio thumbnails, along with higher-resolution waveforms for greater precision and a refactored sampling method that accurately renders the audio signal. This remarkable work was done by @etiandre and was made possible thanks to your generous contributions to our fundraiser campaign.

Regardless of whether you are working on making shorts with your mates, features or corporate ads, online or TV shows or music videos, we want to see and promote them all!
We are building a showreel made up of clips from projects edited with Kdenlive. We aim to encourage more artists to move beyond expensive, closed systems to a free way of making movies.
Kdenlive 24.12.1 is out packed with important fixes and enhancements. This update focuses on polishing the newly introduced built-in effects, resolving issues with bin effects and the effect stack and more!
#Kdenlive 24.12 is out with an effects interface redesign, a new powerful subtitling system, new effects and lots of stability and polishing. Thank you all for a great year and happy holidays. 💙
Lot's of progress in the audio waveform generation rewrite. Not only there is a HUGE performance boost generating the waveforms but also they are now more precise and in higher resolution.
In the images you can see the before and after. (See Audacity waveform for reference)
Progress of the OTIO C++ export is coming along nicely. A single #Kdenlive timeline with multiple tracks and clips exported as .otio can now be opened in Resolve.
We’re looking for developers to implement OpenTimelineIO integration for improved interoperability and Audiowaveform integration to accelerate audio waveform generation.
