Hello, I am new to kdenlive (new to video editing in general!) and wanted to use kdenlive to make a video that contains footage shot from a webcam and desktop capture. I am using ffmpeg to screen capture my desktop, and here is what ffmpeg tells me about the video format:

Seems stream 1 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 62.50 (125/2)
Input #0, asf, from 'video40.wmv':
Duration: 00:00:08.96, start: 3.000000, bitrate: 3923 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: wmav2, 32000 Hz, mono, s16, 20 kb/s
Stream #0.1(eng): Video: wmv2, yuv420p, 960x720, 2922 kb/s, 62.50 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc
At least one output file must be specified

The desktop screen capture is in 1920x1200, but I would like the final output to be the best to display the webcam video. Would a widescreen format be possible?

Can someone please help me understand how to begin, particularly with what video profile to choose? I have no idea about that. Thanks!

Create a custom project setting using a resolution of 960x720, whatever frame rate you want, pixel aspect ratio of 1/1 and display aspect of 96/72 (or 12/9).
