KDE 4 Video Editor Kdenlive Released
====================================

   The promising nonlinear video editor Kdenlive has made its first non
beta for KDE 4, version 0.7 is on us. This closes another gap of the
free desktop world: a usable open source video editor.  Kdenlive has the
potential to become the Amarok or K3b of video editors, offering comfort
and elegance so far not available in alternative programs. The feature
set looks amazingly complete and far exceeds the KDE 3 version already.

     This is the official announcement:

     We are glad to announce the immediate release of Kdenlive 0.7

     This is the first release of Kdenlive for KDE 4. Here is a quick
list of improvements over the previous KDE 3 version:

    * Complete rewrite of the communication with the MLT video
      framework, which means a huge speedup in all timeline operations
    * Capture from different sources: DV, HDV, webcam and screen grab
    * Better KDE integration (notifications, job progress, Nepomuk
      annotations)
    * More effects and transitons (improved support for Freior)
    * Full undo support with history
    * Video rendering is now completely independant from main
      application, you can safely work while rendering
    * Initial support for Jog Shuttle devices
