Kdenlive is a powerful tool with a lot of features but all the different menu entries, buttons and shortcuts can be sometimes confusing. The User Manual is important for beginners as well as advanced users searching for a specific feature. However maintaining the manual is a big task the small Kdenlive Core Team can't handle alone...
And that’s were you come in! If you are an advanced user it we need you to update old sections or write explanations of new features. But even if you have the feeling you are not experienced enough to write something, you can still update screenshots! If you benefit from the work others did on Kdenlive it is a great (and easy) opportunity to give something back to the project and the community!
Join the Kdenlive Main Matrix Room to get in touch.
Getting Started
The new Kdenlive Manual (moved from the wiki in November 2021 to docs.kdenlive.org) is based on Sphinx and lives in a git repository.
Some useful information for the start can by found in the Krita Contributor Manual, since the Krita Manual is based on Sphinx too.
Take and Upload Screenshots
Here are some general tips on how to take screenshots.
If you want to add or update a screenshot in the Kdenlive manual you should follow this rules:
- Use the the Breeze Dark Theme ( → → )
- Use the the Breeze Icons ( → )
TODO List
The manual hasn't got much love in the past years. The main goal is to complete, update and translate the manual.
- Review the manual and identify outdated content, and screenshots
- 2021-05-14 - Updated screenshots and content to UI 21.04 from the start to "Effects and Transitions list"
- Move (and update) content from the website https://kdenlive.org to the manual (maybe create a "Howto" and "Behind the scene" chapter): see section "Texts we want to move from the website" below.
- Tutorials https://kdenlive.org/en/project/
- Toolbox https://kdenlive.org/en/toolbox/ -> finished (see below)
- working on updating the list of Effects and compositions: https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects_And_Transitions.
- Putting together the source data here: https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sheet/edit/UeG3XmhEsPzZRaXWpLQUzJZp/
- list is now complete. I've removed all the effects/compositions no longer in Kdenlive -- documented in the wiki change notes and the link above, 2nd tab in the spreadsheet. I'm now working on adding new effects/compositions and updating existing ones.

Texts we want to move from the website
These texts in the list below should be moved to the user manual:
- Check if the text is still relevant.
- If the text is not relevant anymore change the status in the table to DEPRECATED: NO MOVE
- If the text is still relevant look if there is already a similar instruction in the manual
- Either create a new page and move copy the text or merge the text to the existing one. Change Status to MOVED and add the new (wiki) url
Technical that stuff should go to the community wiki page:
