Kdenlive 0.7.4 Released, Makes it Easy to Try

Although released a few weeks ago, the new Kdenlive 0.7.4 version is progressing nicely. The current release notes list the following updates:

• Compatibility with the new 0.4.x versions of MLT
• Rendering jobs now start one after another instead of all together
• Rewritten DVD wizard, allowing for chapters, several buttons in menu and easy preview
• Start of a transcoding feature, allowing to easily convert a clip in another format
• Long list of bug fixes.
  

Not only are the Kdenlive team providing the usual packages for different Linux flavours (Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva, OpenSUSE), they're making it very easy for a wider range of users to try the software. The following downloads are also available:

• FreeBSD Ports
• Macports for Max OS X
• Kdenlive DVD and USB Live installation
• Virtualbox Disk Images

We're not aware of any other FOSS non-linear video editing tool that makes it so easy for new users to test and try the software.
