I am runing Fedora 10 and installed kdenlive for the first time from rpmfusion repository, following the instructions given here:
http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/fedora-packages
Unfortunately, when I try to start the program I get the following message:
"Cannot find the melt program required for rendering (part of Mlt)"
I could see in several posts herein instructing to remove file Kdenliverc, but this file does not exist in my computer. I also saw a post instructing to install Mlt application, but it is already installed in my computer. I removed ad re-installed it, but no success.
Any other tip?
Thanks!

Did you install the MLT and MLT++ packages? Which version of these packages and which Kdenlive version do you have?

Hello,

Again, again and... Again :)

Kdenlive 0.75 and MLT 0.4.4 at Fedora's RPMFusion repo have renamed MLT's binary file.
Prior start Kdenlive, please do this as user:

rm ~/.kde/share/config/kdenliverc

Why this happened?
Because, old MLT binary (prior version MLT 0.4.4) was named as melt, but this filename is busy by 'freeze' package at Fedora, so I renamed MLT's binary file to mlt-melt and do appropriate changes in Kdenlive.

Of course, you must install both (MLT and KDenlive) via RPMFusion! And MLT version must be 0.4.4 and Kdenlive must be 0.7.5.


Second thing!

At Fedora 10 Kdenlive and MLT do not working well. So I strongly suggested to upgrade your Fedora to version 11!

- Kdenlive 0.7.4-2
- Mlt 0.4.4-1

I wasn't able to find Mlt++. What should I do to install this thing? I made a quick search in Google, but wasn't able to find any instruction.

Thanks for the help

Dear Grof,

Please, review my original post and you will see that the file you mentioned does not exist in my computer. The command you suggested was already typed and it returns an error message because the file Kdenliverc is not found!
It means, your suggestion does not work at all!

Just to clarify, I had ready several posts before posting mine. I work in a customer relation department and I know what is to answer several times the same thing. :-)

Secondly, I installed Kdenlive from RPMfusion and version available was 0.7.4.

Thanks for the try.

Regards,
Eduardo

Try again. Kdenlive 0.7.5 is in RPMFusion!

do

yum update


But not for Fedora 10! Only for 11 and rawhide....
