Remove them. Technically, yes they are understood by MLT, but it is not the Kdenlive way. Kdenlive's project settings and Render dialog manage these settings and will add resolution as well as other things that are necessary to change resolution different from your project setting. > I then clicked on render, selected the Theora group and created my own > profile. > > When I tried to render the clip/project, it appears none of the settings are > being used. How do you know? What does kdenlive report on the console when you run Kdenlive from a terminal window and Render? > I can't figure out how to create a new 'format' group which I hoped might > allow > me to specify my own full profle as such. Maybe I do not understand the question. Do you refer to the Group field in the custom render profile dialog?
