Video Editor Kdenlive 0.9.6 Released
jrepin writes "Version 0.9.6 of free and open source video editor Kdenlive has been announced. This version adds a Reverse clip option to Clip Jobs that creates a backwards clip.The list of audio/video bitrates can now be customized in custom rendering profiles. New release also fixes several bugs and crashes, including a very annoying bug that caused project files to seem corrupted."
Why isn't there a suite of command-line tools to handle video clips yet, such as cutting, merging, transitions, variable speeds, inserting still images for a certain length, etc.? Each would be relatively simple, testable tasks, and (optionally) GUIs could be built around those tools.
And no, ffmpeg is not the answer; it breaks audio tracks when cutting/merging/speeding up.
NB: The message above might reflect my opinion right now, but not necessarily tomorrow or next year.
