I want to be candid here with everyone here. My experience has
convinced me that KDE does not provide a good cross-platform solution.
Others will disagree, but the point is that I am not convinced, and I
am not interested in putting my energy into that approach. However, I
think Qt is fantastic in that regard, and I have started a new project
based on Qt that re-uses a project name from the MLT family: Shotcut.

Currently, I have no intention to try to achieve the sophistication of
Kdenlive, and I have some other goals that Kdenlive does not share -
for example, integration with Melted playout server. More
announcements are coming shortly that will further explain its goals.
I think Kdenlive will continue to be the most progressive MLT app for
the forseeable future, but perhaps its focus should be Linux and BSDs.
Of course, someone else is free to try to supporting OS X or even
Windows.
