Hello everyone.

I have made two videos. One for an intro and another for an outro which I intend to use over and over on my YouTube channel. I was hoping that I could just render them and save both of them. That way I'd have them every time I want to make a video. The guitar tracks are near studio quality. After rendering, I noticed that the quality suffered quite a bit. If I rendered them a second time they would be absolutely inaudible. The first two times I tried the two most common YouTube presets (second pass). These came out pretty bad. Then I tried the .avi format. This was a lot better, but still not where I wanted to be. I then wanted to try the lossless version, but Kdenlive crashed, and I had to restart my computer. I don't care about the lossless video portion, just the audio. I'm also concerned about the quality going down when I upload to YouTube. I've been tinkering with Kdenlive since January, and I still don't understand all the rendering settings, and all the features. If you could guide me through it, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mike

PS - I know there is a way to enable Kdenlive to utilize multiple processors. I can't remember how to do it, nor can I find that information anywhere. Since I'm already here, can someone tell me how to do that as well?

Try one of the Lossless/HQ Render presets. Also, you can download a DNxHD render preset from within Kdenlive if you are using 1080.
