[Bug 439465] Re: wishlist - import of kdenlive project files

 

I think it would be better to write a tool that converts various other
non-linear video editor file formats to OpenShot's file format. The tool
could be run from within OpenShot or from the command line. This would
allow the tool to be maintained relatively independently of OpenShot. It
would also allow it to be tested independently.

- kdenlive
- cinerlerra
- kino
- etc.

OpenShot would simply run the tool to import the video. This way you
wouldn't have to import it as a clip; you would get all the transitions,
separate files, and so forth as tracks in OpenShot.

Pitivi, and openshot kdenlive are three non-linear editor, two of them even use the same framework (MLT).
Being useful software for the same purpose (video editing) should use a common project file format.
