This page is part of a tutorial to explain video editing with kdenlive and which includes the following topics:


This section follows the previous sections that were followed in order. We now place ourselves at the end of our video, and we will cut the soundtrack that is too long, by first placing the cursor at the end of the last clip, cutting the audio clip and deleting the excess


On the other hand, stopping the soundtrack may be a bit abrupt, so we're going to add a fade-out, a regular attenuation of the sound. To do this, click on the top right corner of our audio clip and choose the duration of the attenuation period (here 2''15).


For the last video clip we will do the same by creating a fade to black


It looks something like this with the video fading to total black


The fade duration can be changed by moving the red triangle above or by playing on the properties of the effect


In the same way we will add the end title which must be placed on the track above the track of the last clip, so I added a track above the V2 track to be able to add the title.


Here is the complete timeline of our finalized project.




We can consider that the editing is finished. Now to export a video file, you have to go to the Project->Render menu or from the button  You have a large choice of formats, the best compromise being MP4-H264/AAC which gives an excellent rendering with youtube (as long as the initial clips are in HD). Also note the 4K format with MP4-H265 (HEVC) which is not yet read by many devices but which is certainly the format of the future, it is at least as good quality as H264 while being much smaller in size, also note the lossless formats, not to mention other more exotic or obsolete formats.


Note that at this point you can choose to export the entire project, only the selected area in the timeline, or an area of ​​the timeline delimited by guides.

If you have chosen to degrade certains clips with the Proxy Clips function by clicking on the More options box, make sure that the Render with preview resolution box is not checked, so that the original video format of the rush will be used.
In the window below you also have the option to enable parallel processing with multiple CPU cores (note the warning though), the encoding settings can be changed at the very bottom of the window.

From version 24.05 you can choose the ratio of the final video


and from the Overlay command you can set up a timestamp or frame number overlay.


Before thinking about rendering, don't forget to enter the name of your file and it's done when you click on To a file
