Awesome stuff, Vincent! Appreciate the time you've taken to set all of this up.<div><br></div><div>One comment: I did a poll on the Ubuntu G+ community, asking users whether they use the LTS ubuntu releases or the non-LTS. So far, over 1,090 people have voted, and a STAGGERING 71% use LTS releases on their primary machines (<a href="https://plus.google.com/+JesseDuBordFilms/posts/3VkkxrzCzZV">https://plus.google.com/+JesseDuBordFilms/posts/3VkkxrzCzZV</a>). I might encourage support for the latest LTS release for Kdenlive PPA's, in both the new timeline ppa and the master ppa (seems like LTS support is already in stable ppa). Having packages for those LTS versions would expand the use of them, drastically, based on my findings.</div><div><br>On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 6:05 AM, kdenlive-request@kde.org wrote:<br>

Hello,
Note that you need to have FFmpeg built with vaapi or nvenc support, which is not the case of Debian package.
I don't know what's needed for Intel, but for NVidia you have to download a SDK linked to closed-source driver, providing personal information: showstopper for me (and many packagers) :\
Please let us know of any progress on your side.
Evert, did you try to share your custom profiles using "HotNewStuff" function in Kdenlive? ;)

Hi there, Bernd.
Kdenlive supports hardware encoding through custom encoding profiles.
This is my profile for hardware hevc encoding with nvidia:
properties=x265-medium f=matroska vcodec=hevc_nvenc acodec=aac crf=%quality ab=%audiobitrate+'k'
It would have been awesome if mlt and ffmpeg used the same format in command lines, but this is not the case. At least they are close.
Unfortunately I only have intel cards, so I cannot test the intel vaapi acelleration for you.
Kind regards,

Dear all,
After some years without I'm getting back to video editing... I already searched quite a lot but it's really hard to find "realiable" information, so I decided to ask here:
- It seems that hw accel is not available in kdenlive
- As far as I understand kdenlive uses mlt which uses ffmpeg. ffpmeg can use hardware acceleration for de- and encoding. So is mlt to "blame" for missing hw accel. in kdenlive?
- There has been a patch (bug 378832) "use of vaapi in transcoding and rendering" which seems to tackle my question. But what did it really change -/ what is it for? I didn't find more info on that and it's in kdenlive 17.04, while Debian is at 16.12. and before I compile myself I'd like to get more info.
- Furthermore I found a thread on this list back in April "kdenlive and mlt nvenc enabled" covering the same topic but for nvidia instead of Intel graphics; unfortunately nobody reported back if it really works. For me it reads like the patch I mentioned above.
So regarding the current state of hw accel in kdenlive I'm still uncertain.
Thank you for your inputs.
Kind regardsBernd

Hello,
I've finally finished the setup of a new PPA to test the future Kdenlive 17.12 version,
containing a "kdenlive-test" package that can coexist with a normal "kdenlive" package (17.04 or 17.08)...
ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-17.12preview
The build lives in /opt/kdenlive-test
I forgot to install an icon to a standard path, so you have to create one or run the command: /opt/kdenlive-test/bin/kdenlive
As usual, I publish quickly before testing seriously, so be prepared for deception :-p
Don't hesitate to send me your remarks, and if you find it interesting, I let you share the info on your networks (reminding this is experimental software)...
Vincent.

Hi all,
Well so I can expect hw accel for ENcoding to work. What's about DEcoding? Can that be enabled as well?
Is it correct that direct raw copying (no de- and re-encoding) is not possible? Would be soooo nice (speedup & image quality) for all the clips which rest unchanged! I know that this is a missing feature on the mlt side; having a background in programming myself I know how ugly a workaround can be, but: did you dev's discuss that in the past? As I said, only for unchanged clips (I have 4K editing in mind...)
Best,
Bernd
PS: I will see how to compile ffmpeg with hw accel enabled.
