Kdenlive provides non-linear video editing on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD. It uses the MLT framework for multitrack editing with a timeline supporting unlimited video and audio tracks. Key elements include a built-in title editor, subtitling with AI-supported speech to text, nested timelines, and proxy editing for high-resolution footage. Effects and transitions integrate via Frei0r, SoX, and LADSPA libraries. Rendering runs in a non-blocking process. The interface offers configurable keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, and layouts. It supports formats via FFmpeg or libav, including HDV, AVCHD, H.264, H.265, and various image types.
