Yes, I noticed that, thanks.

In that dialogue there is also an option to create a new profile. If one 
chooses to do so, one can make changes in all aspects of the profile, 
but there never is an option to really save the new profile with a new 
name. They are, apparently, kept in ~/.local/share/kdenlive/profiles, 
and named customprofileXX

In the standard profiles offered, I don't see the XDCAM-EX format I am 
looking for. Since - IIUC - kdenlive's profiles are essentially those 
offered by mlt, I would expect that all mlt's profiles were offered by 
kdenlive. That is not the case, it seems to me.

I don't know where kdenlive keeps it's profiles. On my system, I have 
/usr/share/kdenlive/profiles/, but it has only 8 profiles, way less than 
what is offered in the dialogue.

It would be handy to have an option to go through the corresponding 
directories of mlt, in my case 
/usr/share/mlt-6/presets/consumer/avformat. As said in my first post, it 
*does* have an XDCAM profile.

Btw, I forgot to mention that I work with kdenlive-18.04-rc.AppImage.
