Hello Everyone,
Today I decided to use screen grab to record segments of my desktop to make a tutorial on how to do something for my father that lives across the state as opposed to driving there. I wanted to use Kdenlive because it has some other neat features that would be handy in future projects.
Upon opening the program and clicking Record Monitor followed by the record button nothing happened. I was not able to select a region or nothing the button just made like it was being pushed and did nothing.
I was wondering if there was a way to get screen grab to work and if anybody else was having the same issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the button looks sunken it should record. What happens if you press the button again? Does it say something like encoding captured video?
By default it records the whole screen, if you only want to use a region click on the config button next to the record button and change "full screen capture to region capture.

Also recordmydesktop is (in my opinion) not the best solution for screen capturing. ffmpeg is (far) better, but it involves the use of the terminal (no gui).

Didn't know it is possible to do a screen capture with ffmpeg. Looks very promising and it would be great to make this usable with a GUI in Kdenlive.
I will put this on my ToDo List for the next two months.

This is a bug in kdenlive. Next Version will fix this.

This is a version compatibility bug - recordmydesktop changed its command line parameters in a backwards-incompatible way. Just run recordmydesktop manually - with a GUI frontend if you prefer.
