T his link may help
 
 http://software.opensuse.org/package/kdenlive
 
 Found with the search tool off the opensuse build service page. Always the 
 best 
 place too look if running opensuse.
 
 http://software.opensuse.org/package/kdenlive
 
 There are also a number of projects kicking about on the build service that 
 may 
 offer additional facilities in packages that suse feel they can't offer in 
 std releases for the usual reasons. Finding them is more difficult. Googling 
 opensuse build service version eg 12.3 package name often finds them. There 
 is 
 an option to show unstable versions on these pages ie not part of the 
 official 
 release. If you follow the project link a page will come up showing on which 
 opensuse releases the package built correctly. This is usually the way to get 
 the very latest release of a package. In this case using this method may add 
 an 
 unofficial multimedia repo to your updates. This can be browsed to see what 
 it 
 offers. I assume there still is one but I haven't used it for some years.
 
 Just tried the 2nd approach and not much luck but am in the wilds of Wales 
 using 
 a neighbours wi fi and :-( windoze too.

 Anyone successfully using this? http://www.kdenlive.org/ remains down (since 
 
 Saturday at least), but I installed it anyway based on a look at 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kdenlive. So far it is just as unintuitive and 
 useless very other video editing application I've tried, 
 which is a bunch.
 
 Just getting it installed was no fun. I tried it on 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3. On 
 12.1 it wouldn't install due to some obsolete mlt5 requirement with only 
 a 
 newer mlt6 available. On 12.2 I only managed to get the older v0.6. On 12.3 
 I 
 first got a non-functional 0.9.4 because it required an older ffmpeg than 
 the 
 one installed. By forcing to the 0.9.6 version from Packman it installed, 
 but 
 without having pulled in various packages that I had no expectation of 
 needing (dvgrab, dvdauthor, genisoimage/mkisofs).
 
 The obvious place to start, I would think, is to open a video file, so 
 that's 
 what I tried. Since all the files I have that need commercials removed are 
 .ts files, apparently I need something less obvious than file 
 open, as its 
 file picker found none of my .ts files in the directories in which they are 
 located.
 
 So, is this yet another program that can't remove commercials from video 
 
 transport stream files? If it can, how? Help doesn't work (help 
 center not 
 installed, without mention of package name containing help 
 center). Do I 
 have to capture from the .ts files before editing? Is some sort 
 of filter 
 missing? The file picker filter list only has 3 entries, none of which I 
 recognize as a video file type. Is there a FAQ somewhere that's 
 accessible 
 that lists the file types it can work with?
 
 TIA

rpmfusion ship it for Fedora ,



repoquery -q kdenlive --nvr

Same system has F19, so I installed this, which uses a newer 0.8.8 mlt

none of which I recognize as common video file types.

have you a better suggestion ?


I was hoping someone would provide me with either a usable suggestion, or an 
explanation what it is I'm missing.

 I was hoping someone would provide me with either a usable suggestion,
 or an explanation what it is I'm missing.

I have NOT used it personally, but I've seen some article teasers on it, 
I think mostly on LWN, which is known for its quality Linux/FLOSS 
coverage, AND for its reasonably high quality comments, which many times 
point out other options or otherwise provide very useful information -- 
so be sure and scan them too.  Doing a quick search there, these three 
candidates look interesting (newest first):

LWN Feature: Keeping up with Kdenlive, Sept. 19, 2012, by David Philips.  
Includes several screenshots and a full (but not too detailed) run-thru 
from dependencies list and configuring/compiling, thru actually using the 
program to assemble a video from multiple sources, to hitting the big 
render button to get a finished product.

http://lwn.net/Articles/516662/

BTW, that article links the kdenlive user's manual online at kde userbase, 
and that link *IS* live as I just tested it:

http://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual

Back to LWN:

Teaser for Intro to kdenlive from opensource.com, the first of several 
articles they were doing on it (Nov 16, 2011).  This is just the LWN 
teaser for the first of the opensource.com series, not an LWN feature, 
but the opensource.com series is six parts (part 1 intro, which I checked 
and which this parts list comes from, so it's still live, 2 advanced 
editing techniques, 3, effects and transitions, 4, color correction, 5, 
audio, 6, workflow and conclusion), which means it should get into some 
decent detail.

http://lwn.net/Articles/467564/


Meanwhile, for a broader picture both in terms of where kdenlive would 
fit into the process and of other options as well, altho it's a bit dated 
now, LWN's Grumpy Editor series had a three-part series on the whole 
video editing process (Part 1, capture, 2, editing, 3, dvd authoring), 
back in late 2007 and early 2008.  This is actually the coverage I was 
remembering.  Part 2 covered (obviously an earlier version of) kdenlive, 
as well as some others.  Here's the grumpy editor mainpage, which list 
those and others.  (You might wish to bookmark the page for other reviews 
if you like these, or if you're familiar with lwn, just remember to check 
their grumpy editor series if you're looking for something, as I 
basically did here, altho I remembered this coverage specifically as 
well.)

http://lwn.net/Articles/grumpy-editor/


As I said it's nothing I'm personally involved with, but I believe it's a 
pretty safe guess that will get you farther than you are now. =:^)
