The official description for this type of application is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system ''non-linear video editor''], which means that it non-destructively edits your film.  The original is not touched.  The application records the details of which bits you want in your final file, and the output is created from the combination of original and that edit file.
The Kdenlive project started in 2002 by Jason Wood.

Kdenlive is a feature-rich non-linear video editor:

  • Multi-track format allows interleaving of video and sound
  • Auto-save and undo support
  • Audio files, in multi-track, can be cut to tight synchronisation with your video
  • A wide range of effects and transitions are included and can be customized
  • Wide range of supported codecs for both input and output: DV (PAL/NTSC), MPEG2 (PAL/NTSC/HDV), Flash FLV, WMV, AVCHD (HDV), H.264, H.265, WebM (VP8, VP9), lossless ProRes, MP3, AC3, OGG Vorbis, FLAC and more

History

The Kdenlive project started in 2002 by Jason Wood.

The port to KDE4 started in 2008[1] by Jean-Baptiste Mardelle. This was an almost complete rewrite from the KDE3 version, that wasn't originally made to work with MLT. The KDE4 rewrite was finished in November 2008, with the release of Kdenlive 0.7[2]

During the Randa meeting in August 2014, Kdenlive developers discussed the possibility to make Kdenlive an official KDE project.[3].

In 2017, the development team of Kdenlive started a big refactoring of the timeline feature[4]. The refactoring moves the timeline feature to QML and allows better code maintainability. The refactoring ended in April 2019 with a sprint in Lyon[5].
