Dear JB and Dan,

I would like your technical advice for my project "Les super-héros de l'immobilier".

I am entering the final stage, editing 20 hours of footage to produce a 52 min movie.

For organisation reasons, I prefer to use GNU/Linux and Kdenlive rather than use a profesional solution based on proprietary software.

A friend of mine is working for a TV broadcast in Video editing.

He explains me that for 52 minutes projects, his company hires MacOsX stations, because Windows crashes too often.

After severe crash experiences in the Windows world, I will never ever return to closed software : too much time lost.

I do not trust Windows to be able to handle a video project.

So ... Kdenlive is my only alternative.

I am looking for your advice:

:arrow: Should I break the project in small projects of 5 minutes, export them and render the final film using the merge feature.

:arrow: Do you think Kdenlive is ready to handle a long 52 minutes movie, in a single project:

1) I am wondering about the move tool.

Do you think the move tool is accurate enough?

2) Also, I am worried about MLT tree, as I read that adding and deleting a scene would rebuild MLT tree.

Any advice welcome.

Kind regards,

Jean-Michel
