<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Digging around the Net today, I found out that reversing a clip in kdenlive involved first generating an .mlt file that reversed the existing clip, i.e. "mlt-melt -profile <profile> framebuffer:<input-clip> reverse=1 -consumer xml:<output-clip>.mlt". That worked fine, and I was able to use it in kdenlive.</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I would like to see that in the "Clip properties" dialog as a setting, and thought it might be a good first project for me. But I failed at the first step -- modifying a .kdenlive file to reverse an imported clip. From diffing two .mlt files, one with a reverse and one without, the difference is a line that says
"<property name="reverse">1</property>" inside of a "producer" block. I tried putting that line in a producer block in the .kdenlive file, some alternate names for "reverse" like "meta.media.reverse" and "meta.attr.reverse", and adding a 'reverse="1"' attribute to the kdenlive_producer block, but none of them had the desired effect.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Can anyone give me a hint on how to proceed? Is this project harder than I think it is?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0,
