    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 This was an almost complete rewrite from the KDE3 version, that wasn't originally made to work with MLT.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].
