You can save a render script, but that uses kdenlive_render, which is
little more than a wrapper around melt for some special things like
making dual pass appear as one job. You do not really need it.
Basically, you can just render the kdenlive project file directly with
melt. The kdenlive render script will show you the melt avformat
parameters for the encoding after kdenlive has done some variable
substitutions based on project and render dialog settings. Thus, you
can prototype it in kdenlive, make a render script, and then copy the
parts of the render script for your own custom melt-only script.

Please be aware that not everything works in a typical headless
configuration. Things like kdenlivetitle and SVG loading require the
QtGui module that does not work without an X11 session, but you can
use the xvfb virtual X11 server!
