Reworked KDEnlive has 0.8.4 release coming

KDEnlive, the video editing software for Linux and other *nix desktops, is looking to release version
0.8.4, an update to the recent 0.8.2 push that has unknown bugs which only appeared after the release.  The KDEnlive team is taking two weeks or so to ready this newest version with various bugfixes, and are hoping to make a public release during the week of Monday the 14th November.


After some discussion, the release may be named 0.8.2.1, to reflect that it is just a maintenance release rather than containing new features. Update: release has been planned as 0.8.2.1, more info here


KDEnlive is one of the more advanced FLOSS video editing programs for the GNU/Linux desktop and other *nix workstations.  We've discussed KDEnlive here in the past and the software has improved in its functionality and stability in the last three+ years.  Speedier parts help the experience as well, of course :)

I really like KDEnlive and the kids love it too. When their friends come over and make skateboarding videos, they seem to have no problems with it even though they use Win and Apple at home.

I really hope that one day they come up with a simplified menu and look option.
Im not talking dumbing it down like Unity does but rather more having a beginner and advanced look to help make the start less jarring (i still remember being left in from of a blank Premiere 6 and wondering "what now?")

The person who starts off or just wants to do the basic editing (like youd find in teh Win XP video editor) could be greeted with a less scary looking interface, mayeb have a few templates to choose from, etc.
Once they feel the need (and for many, the simple version will be enough to slap on a video, add music and maybe a title) to do more, they click on the advanced tab and Boom! you have the full monty at your fingertips.
