==== Rendering ====‎

Edit

Rendering is the process where the edited clips are saved into a single complete video clip. During the rendering process the video can be compressed and converted to a number of different video formats (aka codecs).‎

Edit

The rendering dialog is brought up from the render button {{Icon1|Kdenlive Render button.png}}, from selecting <menuchoice>Render</menuchoice> in the [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu|Project Menu]] or by the <keycap>Ctrl + Enter</keycap> shortcut.‎

Edit

===== Rendering Profile Categories ===== [[File:Kdenlive Render dialog 17 04 categories expanded.png|frame|left|File rendering categories- ver 17.04]] ‎

Edit

'''Kdenlive''' offers many different preset rendering profiles to choose from. The rendering profiles are grouped into categories. See picture Above.‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Rendering options2.png]]‎

Edit

====== File Rendering - earlier Versions ======‎

Edit

The following figures show the render dialog when the <menuchoice>Destination</menuchoice> category is '''File Rendering'''. The first two figures show the layout of the dialog under ver 0.9.10 of '''Kdenlive''' and the third figure shows how the dialog appears in ver 0.9.8 of '''Kdenlive'''.‎

Edit

Version 0.9.10 of '''Kdenlive''' changes the render dialog significantly because it implements a method where you can choose to render the project with either a variable video bitrate (VBR) or a constant video bitrate (CBR)‎

Edit

====== Variable Bit Rate - earlier Versions ======‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Render dialog vbr 0.9.10.png |frame|left|File rendering dialog Variable Bit Rate - ver 0.9.10]] When a variable bitrate profile is selected, the <menuchoice>File Size</menuchoice> section displays a drop down for choosing the '''Video quality''' you want. This quality figure is a codec-dependent number representing the quality of the video that will be rendered. Generally, lower numbers mean higher quality video and larger file sizes (e.g. x264, MPEG2, VPx), but some codecs use opposite order (e.g. Theora). Profiles provided with '''Kdenlive''' offer these numbers ordered from best quality (almost lossless) to lower quality (still not degrading too much). The exact file size that is produced can not be predicted when using the VBR method. The idea behind this is that you specify a certain quality of video that you want through the entire video and the encoding optimizes bitrate to give you that constant quality, lowering data size for low action scenes and using more bits for high action scenes.‎

Edit

Example: 1min 55 seconds of 720 x 576 H.264 iPhone footage rendered at quality 15 with the H.264/AAC High Profile would produce a file size of 186 Mb. Whereas rendering the same footage at quality quality 20 produced an 83Mb file.‎

Edit

====== Constant Bit Rate - earlier Versions ======‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Render dialog cbr 0.9.10.png |frame|left|File rendering dialog Constant Bit Rate - ver 0.9.10]] When a constant bitrate (CBR) profile is selected, the <menuchoice>File Size</menuchoice> section displays a drop down for choosing the '''Video bitrate''' you want. This is similar to the ver <=0.9.8 behaviour of '''Kdenlive'''. You select the video bitrate you want and the video is encoded at that video bitrate across its entire length. [[File:Kdenlive Render dialog 0.9.8.png|frame|left|File rendering dialog - ver 0.9.8]] ‎

Edit

====== DVD Rendering - earlier Versions ======‎

Edit

DVD Rendering produces files that are compatible with DVD authoring software. MPEG2 files created from [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu/Render#File_Rendering|file rendering]] profiles are less likely to be compatible with DVD software. For quality settings see [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu/Render#Variable Bit Rate - earlier Versions|Variable Bit Rate]] and [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu/Render#Constant Bit Rate - earlier Versions|Constant Bit Rate]]. For DVD VBR lower <menuchoice>Video quality</menuchoice> setting number means better quality.‎

Edit

Note that this rendering does not create a DVD file system. It merely creates DVD-compatible MPEG2 files that can be used by DVD authoring software. If you check the <menuchoice>Open DVD Wizard after Rendering</menuchoice> check box, then the [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/File Menu/DVD Wizard|DVD Wizard]] will open and you can use it to create a DVD file system (in .ISO format). The DVD Wizard is also available from the [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/File Menu|File Menu]].‎

Edit

<menuchoice>Create chapter file based on guides</menuchoice> enables chapter markings on your DVD. Chapters work with the "next" and "previous" buttons on the DVD player and can populate scene selection menus. In order to create chapters this way you need to have marked chapters with [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Timeline/Guides|guides]] on timeline. DVD wizard enables marking of chapters also during DVD creation step.‎

===== Create Custom Render Profiles =====‎

Edit

You can create your own custom render profiles by clicking the button highlighted in the screenshot below.‎

Edit

[[File:Custom render profiles.png|350px]]‎

Edit

This will open the '''Save Profile''' dialog (also shown in the above screenshot) and the <menuchoice>Parameters</menuchoice> section will be filled in with the render parameters of the profile that you had selected when you clicked the {{Icon|document-new}} button. You can edit values in the parameters and save your own custom render profile.‎

Edit

The parameters in the rendering profile are ''melt'' parameters. For an explanation of their meaning, check the ''melt'' [http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/MLT/Documentation documentation] or type <code>melt -help</code> in a command prompt.‎

Edit

The above screenshot shows the '''Save Profile''' dialog as it appears in vers <=0.9.4 of '''Kdenlive'''.‎

Edit

In version >=0.9.5 there is an improved version of the '''Save Profile''' dialog (see below) which allows you to customize the bitrates that are offered in the render profile.‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Custom render profile 0.9.5.png|350px]]‎

Edit

See also [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu/Render/Render_Profile_Parameters|Render Profile Parameters - How to read them]]‎

Edit

===== Rendering In Batch mode =====‎

Edit

If you have a lot of rendering jobs to do, you can use '''Kdenlive''' to create rendering scripts which you can accumulate and then execute in batch mode overnight. See [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Rendering|Rendering Using Rendering Scripts]].‎

Edit

Alternatively, once you have submitted a rendering job on a project and it is up and running in the '''Job Queue''', you can drag the render window out of the way and edit the project some more or load a new project and render that one too. The second render job submitted will go into the '''Job Queue'''. Editing the project after a render job is submitted will not change the settings on that job.‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Rendering job queue.png|500px]]‎

Edit

===== Rendering Using the Guide Zone Option =====‎

Edit

This makes use of [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Timeline/Guides|Guides]] to define a region of the project that is to be rendered. See [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Rendering|Rendering Using Rendering Scripts]].‎

Edit

===== Rendering Using the Selected Zone Option =====‎

Edit

If you select the <menuchoice>Selected Zone</menuchoice> radio button from the bottom of the render dialog, '''Kdenlive''' will only render that portion of the project which has a selected zone created for it. See [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Monitors#Creating_Zones_in_Project_Monitor|Creating Zones in Project Monitor]]‎

Edit

===== Render Overlay =====‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Render overlay.png ]]‎

Edit

This option overlays a time code or frame count over the rendered video. This will put the overlay over the entire rendered project. Alternatively you can use the [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Misc/Dynamic_Text|Dynamic Text]] effect to overlay selected regions of the video.‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Render overlay result eg.png|150px|frame|left|render overlay result]] ‎

Edit

===== Export Metadata ===== Check this to have the metadata which has been entered under <menuchoice>Project Settings- ></menuchoice> [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Projects_and_Files/Project_Settings#Metadata_Tab|Metadata]] placed into the metadata of the rendered file.‎

Edit

In version 0.9.6 for Linux, you have to double-click the data area of a metadata field line to make the field available for input.‎

Edit

This image shows metadata settings for a project: [[File:Kdenlive project settings metadata.png]]‎

Edit

And this is the metadata on the resulting clip (rendered with <menuchoice>Export Metadata</menuchoice> checked). [[File:Kdenlive Clip properties metadata res.png]]‎

Edit

{{Input|1=$ ffprobe dog_rotated_meta_data.mp4}}‎

Edit

{{Output|1= Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1mp41 title : Bailey encoder : Lavf53.21.1 copyright : VSF }}‎

Edit

This reveals a bug in ver 0.9.4 of '''Kdenlive''' - the full title is not placed in the metadata - it is truncated at the first space. This has been fixed in 0.9.5 of '''Kdenlive''' as Mantis number [http://www.kdenlive.org/mantis/view.php?id=2996 2996].‎

Edit

===== Export Audio Checkbox=====‎

Edit

This is an unusual one. Instead of a normal on/off checkbox toggle, the <menuchoice>Export Audio</menuchoice> checkbox cycles among three choices.‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Export audio check box crop.png ]] [[File:kdenlive export audio checked ubuntu.png ]] [[File:kdenlive export audio unchecked ubuntu.png ]] ‎

Edit

As if that weren't confusing enough, the ''Export audio (automatic)'' option may appear different depending on your combination of distribution, desktop environment and theme. See three examples below: [[File:Kdenlive Export audio check box crop.png ]] [[File:kdenlive export audio automatic dashed.png ]] [[File:kdenlive export audio automatic nocheck.png ]]‎

Edit

Regardless of how the checkbox on the ''Export audio (automatic)'' option may appear on your installation, rest assured that when that option is showing, it is enabled.‎

Edit

So what do the three options mean?‎

Edit

''Export audio (automatic)'' means detect if an audio track is present and write the audio track if found‎

Edit

''Export audio'', when checked, means write an audio track in the rendered file even if there is no audio track to write.‎

Edit

''Export audio'', when unchecked, means do not write an audio track in the rendered file.‎

Edit

The difference in behavior between enabling ''Export audio'' versus ''Export audio (automatic)'' can be seen in the situation where you have a video on the timeline but there is no audio track on the timeline and the video in the video track also does not have an audio track. An example of such a situation is shown in the screenshot below.‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Video with no audio.png]]‎

Edit

In this situation, if you render with ''Export audio (automatic)'', the rendered file will not have an audio track (Result 1 on screenshot below). But if you render with ''Export Audio'' checked, then the rendered file will contain an audio track — the track will however be empty (Result 2 on screenshot below).‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Render export audio auto vs just checked2.png ]]‎

Edit

FFprobe on file generated from an audio-less track using ''Export audio (automatic)''. Note only one stream — Stream #0.0 — a video stream. '''Kdenlive''' automatically detected there was not an audio track and so it did not write one.‎

Edit

{{Input|1=$ ffprobe dog_rotated_exp_audio_auto.mp4}} {{Output|1= Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1mp41 encoder : Lavf53.21.1 Duration: 00:00:03.62, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 12592 kb/s Stream #0.0(und): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 1280x720 [PAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 12587 kb/s, 27.83 fps, 27.83 tbr, 30k tbn, 55.66 tbc }}‎

Edit

FFprobe on file generated from an audio-less track using ''Export audio'' checked. Note two streams — Stream #0.0 and Stream #0.1 — the latter being an aac audio track. We forced '''Kdenlive''' to write an audio track even though there was not any source audio to write.‎

Edit

{{Input|1=$ ffprobe dog_rotated_exp_audio.mp4}} {{Output|1= Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1mp41 encoder : Lavf53.21.1 Duration: 00:00:03.62, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 12598 kb/s‎

Edit

Stream #0.0(und): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 1280x720 [PAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 12587 kb/s, 27.83 fps, 27.83 tbr, 30k tbn, 55.66 tbc Stream #0.1(und): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 2 kb/s }}‎

Edit

In cases where there is an audio track ... [[File:Kdenlive Video plus Audio in seperate tracks.png]]‎

Edit

Rendering with ''Export audio'' unchecked will produce a file with no audio track — result 4 in the screenshot above. Rendering with ''Export audio (automatic)'' (result 3 in the screenshot above) or with ''Export audio'' checked will produce files with Audio tracks.‎

Edit

===== Encoder Threads =====‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Encoder threads.png]]‎

Edit

Determines the value of ''Encoding threads'' passed to melt. For encoding to certain codecs, namely MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, and VP8, kdenlive can use more than one thread and thus make use of multiple cores. Increase this number to take advantage of this feature on multi-core machines. See [http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/MLT/ConsumerAvformat#threads melt doco - threads] and [http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/MLT/Questions#Does_MLT_take_advantage_of_multi melt FAQ] on multi-threading.‎

Edit

===== Scanning Dropdown =====‎

Edit

[[File:Kdenlive Render scanning.png]]‎

Edit

This option controls the frame scanning setting the rendered file will have. Options are ''Force Progressive'', ''Force Interlaced'' and ''Auto''.‎

Edit

''Auto'' causes the rendered file to take the scanning settings that are defined in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Projects_and_Files/Project_Settings#Project_Settings_Tab|project settings]]. Use the other options to override the setting defined in the project settings.‎
