I hope they got their bugs fixed by now. Things like that with a later version the dynamics of my h264 footage had changed all of a sudden, or that in floating point color mode, overflows would yield in funny colors instead if plain white, or not being able to deal with h265 properly, importing FLAC audio but then not being able to handle it.

Aral Balkan<p>Here’s a better list of what’s affected when you change the frame rate of an existing project:</p><p>• Guide locations are wrong (offset by a certain amount). If there was a way to group all guides and move them together it would be a five-second fix (or if Kdenlive did this automatically so they were correct to begin with). As is, it’s a laboriuous process of moving each guide separately.</p><p>• Effects like freeze lose their timecode.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/kdenlive" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kdenlive</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/nle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/nonLinearEditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nonLinearEditor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>editor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
Aral Balkan<p>PS. One thing that caught me out: the default project setting was for 1080 resolution at 25fps. Make sure you set it to 30 (or 60 if you’re a gamer, I guess) if you need to and not get caught out like I did as changing the FPS on an existing project throws out all your timings for effects, etc.</p><p>PPS. Couldn’t find a dedicated shortcut for centering/left-aligning the timeline at the playhead but Ctrl-plus/minus results in the former.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/kdenlive" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kdenlive</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/nle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/nonLinearEditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nonLinearEditor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>editor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
Aral Balkan<p>If you’re working in Kdenlive, guides are your friend. As are the razor, slip, and ripple tools (take a moment to really learn them and you’ll save yourself a lot of time).</p><p>Also, the alt+arrow keys for navigating between clips on the timeline and ctrl+arrow keys for navigating between guides.</p><p>Finally, useful filters: Everything in Motion, Volume and Dynamics (audio fades, etc.), Alpha, Mask, Keying → Obscure (pixellate sensitive stuff).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/kdenlive" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kdenlive</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/nle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/nonLinearEditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nonLinearEditor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>editor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>So, thanks to all the replies, I’ll be redoing a bunch of my work tomorrow using OBS.</p><p>So, in short: if you want to record screencasts and you care about the quality of your work: DO NOT USE THE BUILT-IN GNOME SCREEN RECORDER.
