Information
- Where should a project be created? (own directory because of the thumbs/ladspa/proxy directories that will be created, and because it just works™)
- What are the thumbs/ladspa/... directories good for? Can they be deleted? (→ Yes, just don't delete the titles directory if some .kdenlivetitle files were saved in there. Deleting the thumbs directory can sometimes be the solution to crashes when loading a project.)
- Project profile vs. Render profile: What is the difference, how to chose correctly?
- How to use proxy clips, and why (better speed due to lower resolution and less decoding)
File Structure
As already pointed out in the Quickstart, we suggest to use a different project folder for each project. Kdenlive will generate the following folders for caching in the project folder:
ladspa/proxy/for the proxy clips that have been generatedthumbs/for thumbnails to all used clipstitles/
Source clips can be located anywhere. Still, some thoughts about their location:
- Material (images, clips, audio) that is used for one project only can be put into a subdirectory of the project folder as well. This keeps all important file together, and searching for the files takes less time.
- Material that is used by multiple projects. I’ve got a video collection the same way that I have a photo collection.
