kdenlive

One of the other nice little bits of news that was shared at the Randa Multisprint: Kdenlive, a terrific video editing tool that is Free and Open Source Software built with Qt and KDE technologies, is getting a little closer to the KDE community. Not only did Kdenlive developers join us here as part of the multimedia sprint (which is the fabled ".5 sprint" you may have seen referenced in other blogs, but Kdenlive will be hosted in the KDE infrastructure. I look forward to running `git clone kde:kdenlive` and watching our community grow larger and more diverse as we lower the barriers between different projects.

Go kdenlive! :)

That is really awesome news.
I am one of those persons who like a really well integrated desktop and I think there should be one best of breed application in KDE SC.

I know FOSS is all about choice, but that should include the choice to something very integrated where one community caters to nearly every major use case.

Are major use cases like video editing, mapping, cd burning, word processing etc a topic at P11, Aaron?

and I'd love to see kdenlive and calligra stage getting even closer ... In my eyes creating business presentations should not be so much different than creating videos.

Kdenlive is an awesome application, however, it could definitely benefit from some quality PR. Namely, I'm talking about the (few) paper Linux magazines available that do print reviews and article series on certain applications. E.g. LinuxFormat, they had published a review of Kdenlive once (IIRC) and then started to talk about OpenShot in every issue. And OpenShot seems to be a simple ripoff from Kdenlive made using obsolete and lacking technologies such as GTK, Glib and Vala.

Hence I propose that KDE E.V. take part in this and contact some Linux magazines, such as Linux Format, in order to publish an article or a series of articles on Kdenlive, showing the strengths an advantages of this great video editing tool.
