I thought more about my specific suggestions.
Re: container format - can that not almost always be inferred from the
filename extension? OTOH,  I guess someone can want no extension, can
make a typo, or use some variant extension not supported by
libavformat.

Re: Additional melt options - can or should we make this field only
for additional options and hide the generated ones? (Maybe provide
some button to show the composed melt command.)

Not comfortable with the overall layout of the main page, but I do not
have specific suggestions. It just looks a bit random or cluttered,
and as Alberto said, overwhelming (esp. concerned about the
non-beginner but infrequent kdenlive user).

OK, maybe when there are categories, Favorites can be one and appear at the top.
