Bug ID: 417249
Summary: Kdenlive cannot render from command line
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: digita...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kdenlive LACKS any way to render from command line
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a terminal on a computer with Kdenlive fully installed
2. Type $ kdenlive my_kdenlive_edit.kdenlive --render
(that's about the simplest interface I can imagine, anyway)
OBSERVED RESULT
Kdenlive opens the edit up in the GUI and waits for interaction.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should render the project file to the video file described in the project
file, using the video settings profile from the project file, and all of the
other default settings that would apply, and then exit.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
It appears to still be true in 19.12.x, based on current forum questions, but I
have only actually tested it in 17.12.3 on Ubuntu Studio.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am of course aware of some workarounds for this problem. It's possible to
render with MLT directly. Or to use the 'kdenlive_render' helper tool -- but
both require lots of command line parameters requiring inside knowledge of the
installation and project settings, which of course, kdenlive has access to.
I had even considered using GUI automation tools to run this. But it really
seems like this is an essential basic feature.
Consider this conversation from your forum, which illustrates the complexity of
workarounds for this:
'rendering from command line a kdenlive script'

Surely it would be fairly simple to implement this?
