Hi Francois, <div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1642529627861">Congratulations on the nice movie. I really liked the film. Without any mention of kdenlive, I wouldn't notice it's made entirely using free software. It's really professional and high quality. </div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1642529884287">I will share the video on social media to promote kdenlive and the movie. </div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1642529962685"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1642529962821">Best regards,</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1642529995601">Mehdi</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1642529999200"> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Tue, Jan 18, 2022 at 21:32, Alistair Riddoch</div><div><alriddoch@googlemail.com> wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div id="yiv2221283204"><div><div dir="ltr">Excellent work!<div><br clear="none"></div><div>My French isn't good enough to understand every word, but I certainly understood the film.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Congratulations!</div></div><br clear="none"><div id="yiv2221283204yqt42727" class="yiv2221283204yqt4476968339"><div class="yiv2221283204gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="yiv2221283204gmail_attr">On Tue, 18 Jan 2022 at 17:20, François Téchené <<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:ftechene@yahoo.fr" target="_blank" href="mailto:ftechene@yahoo.fr">ftechene@yahoo.fr</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="yiv2221283204gmail_quote">Hi everyone,<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
As I promised a few month back, here is the link to the short movie that <br clear="none">
I have been directing last summer and that is finally out (under a CC <br clear="none">
BY-SA license)<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i1Xk51uZVU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i1Xk51uZVU</a><br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I made the entire post production with Kdenlive from edit to color <br clear="none">
grading. We used 4k footage out of a Black Magic camera and the proxy <br clear="none">
feature made everything go smoothly. It is a solid feature that worked <br clear="none">
perfectly. Well done devs!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
It was the first time that I used Kdenlive for advanced color grading (I <br clear="none">
used to use FCP and later Blender for that) and I was quite impressed by <br clear="none">
the current state of Kdenlive for that purpose. I have shared a <br clear="none">
screenshot of the raw footage that I used against the result that I <br clear="none">
achieved to make it look cinematographic. Overall, it was a great <br clear="none">
experience and I was only missing a few filters/features to make it <br clear="none">
perfect :<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
- Luma vs Saturation curve<br clear="none">
- Hue vs Saturation curve<br clear="none">
- A polish of the way motion tracking is applied to the rotoscoping tool <br clear="none">
(currently it is not usable)<br clear="none">
- The ability to apply a composition to the result of all composited <br clear="none">
tracks below it instead of just to a specific track<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
With the later implemented, I would see no direct need for node compositing.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I hope we can contribute to making Kdenlive more professional by making <br clear="none">
movies with it and sharing our feedback :)<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I take this opportunity to do a bit of advertising for Ethic Cinema, <br clear="none">
which is a french non-profit organization that I funded with a friend <br clear="none">
(we are 2 film makers) and that has for goal to promote free art (in a <br clear="none">
freedom sense of course ;)). We make movies with free software like <br clear="none">
Kdenlive and we release them under free licenses. You can visit our <br clear="none">
website to learn more : <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://ethiccinema.org/">https://ethiccinema.org/</a><br clear="none">

Thank you so much for making such great software Kdenlive team!<br clear="none">
