BTW, Kdenlive is actually not as tied into KDE as it used to be, probably due to how the KDE Framework 5 system is set up. I have enough of KF5 and QT5 installed to build Kdenlive but it I tell Synaptic to pull in kde-plasma-desktop it would use nearly another 139MB on disk, so that's a lot of packages no longer needed.
