You should be able to create new projects, add clips, move them in the timeline, add effects and compositions, and render your projects.
New keyboard layouts can be installed in 1 click (we need help to create interesting layouts)Īnd most importantly, the code is now much cleaner and ready for new features.Several overlay guides available for each monitor.It is now possible to generate lower resolution clips for the timeline preview to have a faster rendering.Easily share your rendered video through KDE’s Purpose library (YouTube, NextCloud, Twitter, Kde connect,…) requires a recent KF5 environment, not enabled on the AppImage.Insert/lift/overwrite should work reliably.Most effects now use a common keyframe interface.
The long standing issue where moving groups of clips corrupted timeline should be gone.All clip types in timeline can now easily be disabled/enabled.Clips with video and audio are now automatically separated when dropped in timeline.
So you can help us by downloading the latest AppImage, and try it on your computer (just download the file, make it executable through your file manager and run it). The latest refactoring code has been published as an AppImage, and we need some feedback. So while we are very excited to have the opportunity to finally release our work to the public, it’s also a bit stressful. Most of the code was rewritten, which also means many possible regressions.
While the Bella HD Mouse feels like a much more professional and well-built product, I would rather have the functionality of the Mighty Mouse scroll ball for day-to-day editing and general mousing work.After more than 1.5 years of work, we are planning to release the refactoring version of Kdenlive in august, part of the KDE 18.08 Applications release. While the Apple Mighty Mouse feels much more like a plastic toy than the Bella HD Mouse, it’s in the end a not-surprising case of great design and one single great feature trumping overall build quality. After living with the tracking and range of movement that the little rubber scroll ball provides, it’s hard for me to work without it. I normally use an Apple Mighty Mouse and found myself constantly wishing I had the functionality of the tiny scroll ball that is engineered into the Mighty Mouse. The other issue I had with the Bella HD Mouse isn’t really an issue with the mouse at all. I simply found it took more time than I had to give to properly program some of the more advanced gesture-based features. To be fair, however, it does look like you can customize this mouse to do a lot of tasks. It would be nice if Bella could provide more presets or provide downloadable presets for other, non-editing types of applications. I tried to add Safari and make the HD vertical mouse movement scroll a Web page, but I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted.
You can add any application to the HD Mouse software beyond the few defaults. In fact, the software is so detailed that I found it rather difficult to set up. There is dedicated HD Mouse software that will give you access to some very detailed, custom programming of all the HD Mouse buttons, as well as the gesture-type controls (see below).
Plus, I found I had to reinstall the driver software a few different times, as the HD mode would just stop working. I just didn’t use this HD mode on the mouse much. Since you already have your hand on the mouse, there is no reaching to another control unit to make it work.īut what if you don’t use jog/shuttle controls when editing? I rarely use the jog/shuttle control on my Contour Shuttle Pro (in fact, I’ve changed the jog dial to zoom the timeline) and prefer to use JKL scrubbing instead.
It’s actually one of the more convenient shuttle controls out there right now for one simple reason: the controller is the mouse itself. Move the mouse back to the center and the shuttling slows. Just like a shuttle control, the further in either direction you move the controller the faster you shuttle. Move the mouse to the right and you begin to scrub later in your Final Cut Pro timeline. The example pictured here is in Final Cut Pro. This is indicated by a little HD icon in your menu bar turning orange and an On Screen Display that pops up (see below). When entering HD mode in Final Cut Pro the mouse itself becomes a jog/shuttle-type controller. The most common use (and the most marketed use) is for video editing applications. When activated, HD Mouse Mode allows for special customization based on gestures you make with the mouse. It can be an instant activation or you can set a delay of 1-to-5 seconds as you hold down the center scroll wheel button. When clicking that center mouse button you can enter HD Mouse Mode.
