Hey Simon Sounds great! I'll draft a script then?<div><br></div><div>@Till, I think the fact that Novacut just did one is a good reason to do one now. Kdenlive is public and is waaay past proof of concept. Users can test drive it for themselves. We could advertise at as funding for version 1.0. I can speak to that personally since I haven't been developing but it's a thought.</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Dan. Yeah I can totally see how for some people they can't put more time into it then they already have but this funding could potentially be used to raise awareness and attract new developers to work out kinks, bugs and features etc. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Who can we get in touch with at Kdenlive? To make this work we would either need to work with someone on the main team or get some kind of privileges to make sure we can promise things like adding a backers name to the site etc. </div>
