Audio alignment: "can not move clip to frame x"

What does this message mean? I set an audio reference, select "Align audio" and after a while I see that message in the status bar: "can not move clip to frame x" Why can the clip not be moved? What can the user do when that message appears?

Generate Script doe not generate any file

2019-09-24 Thread DogFilm
This one is broken, too. "Generate script" in the Project render dialog actually does NOT create any file. Also it would be good to have an EDL export - this is a very standard thing and interchanging project files is something that is needed in every project.

Rendering does not use full CPU

2019-09-23 Thread DogFilm
Rendering a clip does not use 100% of CPU. If I render stuff with ffmpeg directly (nothing to do with kdenlive) ffmpeg uses all cores with 100% cpu load. Kdenlive is about 50% for each core. So render time could probably be doubled. Yes, "Render Project" dialog was set to "Parallel Processing".
