Hi there,

I am new here and into Kdenlive only for a couple of months.
IT IS SO MUCH FUN

Coming from electronic music production in Ardour, getting into Kdenlive wasn't too hard.
The only feature I really miss so far are "buses", where you can route several video tracks into one in order to apply effects only once.
I use this all the time in Ardour. Kdenlive has just the master bus. Hasn't it?

Anyhow, I made a music video for one of my songs:

The face recognition is done with Python and the dlib get_frontal_face_detector() trained with the free for non-commercial use "shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat" dataset:

The "tiles" are light paintings rearranged with some lines in Python using the PIL toolbox. The "flashing" is done with a Sobel filter.
The moths pictures are from https://freesvg.org/.
The gorgeous slow motion moth sequence is from here: https://www.tumblr.com/albinaalinari/187620391006

Hope it is appropriate writing so much in the first post

Cheers,

You can assign effects to each track by using the magic wand button. It opens the track effects stack.

I like the clever use of masks and transparency in this video. Well done!

Thanks, this is helpful But I really miss buses, which would let route several track into one bus, where I would apply effects only once.
Instead I render out and re-import parts of the project where I would naturally to the "bus" route trick. Not elegant, but I know no better way.

Do you? @berndmj

Again, thanks

No, I don't use buses or have a need for them. I am vaguely familiar with it but don't use them. So far kdenlive does what I need to do, for more complex stuff I use Davinci Resolve (e.g. text animation or 3D stuff).

Like the music. And vid ofcourse. Great.
