✨ NAME ✨

kdenlive — an open source non-linear video editor. periodt. 🎬

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kdenlive [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [file]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Kdenlive is an open source non-linear video editor, and she supports a large number of formats for editing — the way that she just eats every codec up, no notes. 😭🔥

She doesn't do it alone though. She relies on several other open source projects, like FFmpeg and the MLT video framework. it's giving squad goals, fr fr. 🫶
