[Kdenlive-devel] Kdenlive Kickstarter

[wille]

Hi all,

Some suggestions for the video script:

- What is Kdenlive
- The importance of a free software video editor
- Features of Kdenlive
- Why we need to improve Kdenlive

I think it would be good show some scenes from videos edited with Kdenlive
when talking about the features and also show the people behind Kdenlive
(developers, translators, users).

best regards,
wille
