Editing your first simple video on Kdenlive - KdenLive Tutorial part 4

In this video, we'll create a basic video to see how Kdenlive works from beginning to end. Now we're familiar with the interface, we should be able to understand exactly how it works and how to export our first video.

Prepare the project First, we'll create a folder structure. This is the one I use, but you can adapt it to whatever you want it to be. I'll create a main project folder, called "Tutorial Project". Inside this one, I'll create a "sources" folder. Now, I'll just take all my audio, video, and image files, and move them in this "sources" folder. Then, we'll open Kdenlive, and create a new project. I'll select 1080p60 as a preset, and tell it to save everything in my "Tutorial Project" folder.

We'll take ou first clip here , and drag it to a video track. This clip is a bit too long, and there is a part at the end that I don't want to use, so I'll remove it just by grabbing the handle at the end of the clip, and dragging its length to where I want it to stop.

We're going to add the second clip, and add a transition between them. Just drag the second clip to another video track.

To add a transition, we need an overlap: a space where my second clip and my first are played at the same time. I'll just drag the second clip a little bit over the first one. Either click on the lower left corner of the second clip, or right click and select "add transition". By default, you'll get a dissolve transition, which means that the first clip will fade out as the second fades in. The length of the transition is simply the length of the overlap area, by default, but you can resize the transition to use more or less time.

We want to add something with a bit more bling. To do that, we'll click on the "dissolve" transition in the timeline. In the properties panel, we'll see a dropdown menu. Click on it, and select "wipe".

Add a logo throughout the whole video We'll now add a logo in the upper left corner. Since we want that logo to appear for the whole video, we'll grab its right end and drag it to the end of the second clip. Now, in the project monitor, we can see that our logo is on top of everything, but it's too bi ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cALe9mFXVw
