Hi Francois, Congratulations on the nice movie. I really liked the film. Without any mention of kdenlive, I wouldn't notice it's made entirely using free software. It's really professional and high quality. I will share the video on social media to promote kdenlive and the movie. Best regards,Mehdi On Tue, Jan 18, 2022 at 21:32, Alistair Riddoch<alridd...@googlemail.com> wrote: Excellent work! My French isn't good enough to understand every word, but I certainly understood the film. Congratulations! On Tue, 18 Jan 2022 at 17:20, François Téchené <ftech...@yahoo.fr> wrote:
Hi everyone, As I promised a few month back, here is the link to the short movie that I have been directing last summer and that is finally out (under a CC BY-SA license) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i1Xk51uZVU I made the entire post production with Kdenlive from edit to color grading. We used 4k footage out of a Black Magic camera and the proxy feature made everything go smoothly. It is a solid feature that worked perfectly. Well done devs! It was the first time that I used Kdenlive for advanced color grading (I used to use FCP and later Blender for that) and I was quite impressed by the current state of Kdenlive for that purpose. I have shared a screenshot of the raw footage that I used against the result that I achieved to make it look cinematographic. Overall, it was a great experience and I was only missing a few filters/features to make it perfect : - Luma vs Saturation curve - Hue vs Saturation curve - A polish of the way motion tracking is applied to the rotoscoping tool (currently it is not usable) - The ability to apply a composition to the result of all composited tracks below it instead of just to a specific track With the later implemented, I would see no direct need for node compositing. I hope we can contribute to making Kdenlive more professional by making movies with it and sharing our feedback :) I take this opportunity to do a bit of advertising for Ethic Cinema, which is a french non-profit organization that I funded with a friend (we are 2 film makers) and that has for goal to promote free art (in a freedom sense of course ;)). We make movies with free software like Kdenlive and we release them under free licenses.
