Last week, some members of the #Kdenlive core team met in Amsterdam for a short sprint to plan some actions for this year. One of the highlights was a visit to the @Blender foundation. Thanks @fsiddi for receiving us.

This visit was possible thanks to @kde and our community donations.
The second maintenance release of the 24.12 cycle is out with multiple bug fixes. Notable changes include fixes for crashes, UI resizing issues, effect stack behavior, proxy clip handling, and rendering progress display, along with improvements to Speech-to-text in Flatpak and macOS packages.

The next major release of Kdenlive brings a 300% performance boost for generating audio thumbnails, along with higher-resolution waveforms for greater precision and a refactored sampling method that accurately renders the audio signal. This remarkable work was done by @etiandre and was made possible thanks to your generous contributions to our fundraiser campaign.

Are you a #filmmaker using #kdenlive? Let us know about your project!
Regardless of whether you are working on making shorts with your mates, features or corporate ads, online or TV shows or music videos, we want to see and promote them all!
We are building a showreel made up of clips from projects edited with Kdenlive. We aim to encourage more artists to move beyond expensive, closed systems to a free way of making movies.
Help us help the next generation of filmmakers! #videoediting @kde
@JackGreenEarth This feature is based on the Meta Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) running locally on your machine.
Technical details for the initial implementation: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/merge/_requests/564
Lot's of progress in the audio waveform generation rewrite. Not only there is a HUGE performance boost generating the waveforms but also they are now more precise and in higher resolution.
In the images you can see the before and after. (See Audacity waveform for reference)
The new background removal tool is ready for testing! One of the many nifty features planned for 2025.
Give it a spin and let us know what you think.
