Hi Paul, We are planning a facelift for the release of the refactoring branch.
2018-04-24 16:27 GMT-03:00 Paul Brown <paul.br...@kde.org>: > Hi, > > As per Jean-Baptiste's request, I am sending you a couple of observations > about kdenlive.org that you may like to discuss during your sprint. > > The promo team unanimously agrees that Kdenlive could be huge. It looks > professional; technical problems of the past that made it unstable or slow > seem to have been solved; it is easy to use and is well-designed. Plus the > plugin system means that it can only grow with regards to filters and > transitions. > > The website looks good and is professionally laid out, but it could be > more > helpful to casual users (that is, people who land on your site who do not > already know Kdenlive). This is important, since the website is your > display > to the rest of the world. > > You can make sure you capture the attention of casual visitors and maybe > improve search results with a few simple changes: > > * Landing/Home page: > > 1.- Include in a prominent position a one- or two-sentence description of > what > Kdenlive can do for users. For example: > > > Kdenlive lets you edit movies by allowing you to visually "cut up" clips > and > apply affects and transitions to them. It is free, it is open source and > works > on Windows, Linux, and macOS. > > Or something like that. > > When I say "Prominent position", I mean this text should be placed on the > landing page, in quite a big font, and located so the visitor does not > have to > scroll down to see it. > > I have included an image which shows where a good place would be. > > Notice that currently there is no description of what Kdenlive is on the > landing page. > Noted. We have also seen some other places for improvement as well. > > 2.- Instead of a cut out part of the interface, include a clear, high > resolution, non-distorted image of Kdenlive's interface in the header of > the > page. This will complement the description and give visitors a better idea > of > what they should expect from Kdenlive. > > * "About" page: > > 1.- Change the description of what Kdenlive is from: > > > "Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It is primarily > aimed at the GNU/Linux platform but also works on BSD and MacOS. It is > currently being ported to Windows as a GSOC project. > > > > Non-linear video editing is much more powerful than beginners’ (linear) > editors, hence it requires a bit more organization before starting. > However, > it is not reserved to specialists and can be used for small personal > projects." > > To: > > > "Kdenlive is a "non-linear video editor". This means it lets you to lay > out > multiple video and audio clips simultaneously on several tracks. You can > cut > from one to another or add transitions, allowing you to make professional- > looking full-length videos. You can also add filters and special effects > to > your videos to make them more arresting. > > > > Kdenlive is free open source software and works on Linux, Windows and > macOS." > OK. > > * Download page > > 1.- Is damn near perfect. Great layout, clear links. > :) > > Have fun during the sprint. > It is being great so far.
