    Kdenlive, as its name stands, is a KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It is a free software (GPL licensed) primarily aimed at Linux platform but it works on mainy systems (*BSD, Windows, MacOS...) as relying on portable components (QT and MLT framework).

    Non-linear video editing is way more powerful than beginners (linear) editors, hence it requires a bit more organization before starting. However it is not reserved to specialists and can be used for small personal projects.

    Through MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugins effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation.
