Is possible to have Kdenlive working in windows?

If not possible, what is needed to do this?

Use Linux!

But MLT is now working on windows, maybe it is possible to compile Kdenlive on windows...
That should improve kdenlive's user base.

We won't stop somebody from working on a windows build. So feel free to get into this.

How hard would it be to remove any dependence on KDE libs in general?

If that were possible then it would be much easier to port the rest to windows. It would help with OSX packages as well, and Ubuntu/GNOME users would appreciate not having to install any KDE libs.

KDE works on windows now.

Windows is such a horrible platform to use to video editing...yes the development is there but not the OS. After spending thousands of dollars on programs and video cards just to have my computer crash I switched to Ubuntu for good. No more dual booting...This program has just broken ground in terms of working with HD footage and I hope the development makes windows users switch to Linux. I have two friends that switched to Ubuntu in the last two week because of the new Kdenlive 8.1. They LOVE it!!! The people who built Kdenlive built the program on the most stable OS in the computing land....why go backwards?

One of the reasons I'm working on linux is kdenlive. I have seen the light!

If Ubuntu doesn't work for you, try Kubuntu 11.10. I am using it with sunan repo withouth problems.

Bonjour,
premièrement je voudrais saluer tout le travail accompli par l'équipe de Kdenlive qui à fourni un travail formidable, ce depuis des années, je tiens à dire un grand merci pour ce travail.

Pour moi un étudiant ce doit d'étudier toutes les possibilités qui lui sont offertes, il est important d'avoir l'esprit ouvert et d'appréhender l'informatique d'une manière globale, ce qui implique de connaitre plusieurs systèmes d'exploitation, car il n'existe pas que Windows, un étudiant devra un jour ou l'autre pour des raisons d'entreprise travailler avec un systeme différent, donc l'apprentissage de Linux me parais une bonne chose, le faire alors que l'on est étudiant me parais plus facile que devoir le faire dans une entreprise, et un atout pour trouver un emploi.

Une bonne solution est d'utiliser Ubuntu qui est très facil d'utilisation, en plus pour un étudiant qui n'a pas forcément de l'argent à dépenser pour acheter Windows, il est quand même intéressant d'avoir un système gratuit.

Alors il me parais plus simple d'utiliser un système existant que de vouloir porter Kdenlive sous Windows qui peu se réveler instable et problématique.

Je travail avec un computer depuis 1987, et je trouve que linux est une bonne alternative pour un étudiant sans argent.

Ne soyez pas idiot et aprenez donc un systeme libre, ceci vous ouvrira l'esprit, ou alors achetez Première Pro.

Si un étudaint n'est pas capable d'utiliser Linux, que fera t'il dans une entreprise???????

Vive Kdenlive.



Excuse me, I translate with Im Translator

Good morning,
firstly I would like to greet all job fulfilled by the team of Kdenlive which in provided a great job, it many years, I want to say one thank you very much for this job.

For me a student it has to to study all possibilities which are given to him, it is important to have opened mind and to arrest computer science in a total way, what implicates several operating systems to now, because it is not that Windows, a student will owe for reasons of firm some day to work with a different systeme, therefore the study of Linux to make it parried me a good thing, while they are student parries me easier than have to make it in a firm, and a trump to find a job.

A good resolution is to use Ubuntu which is very facil of use, on top of that for a student out of necessity without some money to be spent on buying Windows, it is really interesting to have a free system.

Then it parries me simpler to use an existent system that to want to carry Kdenlive under Windows which maybe unstable and problematic.

I job with a computer since 1987, and I find that linux a good alternative for a student without money is.

Be not stupid and learn a free systeme therefore, this will open you mind, or then buy Premiere Pro.

If a student is not able of using Linux, that will make you it in a firm???????

Long Life Kdenlive

In addition to the list of making Kdenlive available to non linux users, you might consider preparing external USB or eSata HDDs (2,5" should be power supplied via the USB cable). Prepare _one_ image with the Linux of your choice. Then apply the image to the external disks, which you will lend to your students and get them back at the end of the course. The students should be able to enable booting from USB in their BIOS - that can be done without a screwdriver... ;-)

If the next course starts, the new students will have a clean image on their disks. If you skip one or two releases I guess it will not be a vital problem.

Which Linux? A lot of problems here are reported against ubuntu and derivates. I wonder if something like openSuse might be easier to handle for you. But you would have to upgrade openSuse twice a year to be up to date. If you want to be very lazy over a long time and spend a little more work at the beginning, you might like Archlinux, which has a rolling release - you always get the latest packages from the arch repositories.

The benefit would be: always an up to date linux environment, always the latest stable release of Kdenlive in the repositories (usually 1-2 days after release) and a linux containing only stuff, that you have installed on the master image before.

"* Try special setup of a USB Pen Drive to "enable persistence". 2 partitions and a setup with something which from frail human memory was called uunet ...?
This rendered OK! BUT OH NO! On playing previews the preview pane went plain grey although audio is OK. Preview video is visible while scrubbing. There is an old saying like "video is video and audio is audio and never the twain shall meet" which applies in this case!"

Have you tried changing video driver in kdenlive playback options? I've had this issue before and it was solved by changing video driver to XVideo or X11.
