 Here I am, I was waiting for you. Hi. Hi. So KDE Live is on my background actually, so to mask the house is very small, so actually this is video editing application, so they say we are leading an open software, so we are happy of that, we are happy to be KDE too, so it's important for us. And so when you are ready, we can start actually. Oh, I have to prepare this because even if I already proposed it in the past, I want to start the presentation, maybe I have to do it at the time is correct. I would like to start the presentation with a video that I created last year for the same presentation of this year, actually was in September, so it's not updated actually, it's just stay on the version application in August 2020, but the rest of the event today will be explained what happened from this point on and to show what's next and what's new in KDE Live now. And then I'm open to question, of course, everybody can send me questions when they want all the time, I'm not bridged with metrics in this moment, so I hope that someone will forward me the questions in real time. I will, don't worry. Thank you very much. And that's all, I can wait, that is the time, so in a couple of minutes you want to ask me first something before to run the video, the video actually is the story, the history of KDE Live starting from 2002, that is the foundation of the project up to today, and someone probably already watched it on the about of the site already watched last year, so I asked the person that already watched it to be patient and just three minutes though. And then we'll start talking about what's next in KDE Live. I can play, it's not yet the time. One minute, I'm asking every presenter so far, how is the event so far for you? Actually, today I was very busy, I watched just the person who was now before me for 10 minutes. It's always very interesting actually because I would like to follow more because I would like to be updated about the other project that I inside KDE because we are always interesting. And I hope that people that want to be informed about what is the activity of this great community, it's stay tuned and follow all the speech around and not just me on whatever. I know that KDE is very important for Krita, the desktop, KDE Live and other projects are moving very well, so very proud to be here actually. And we are very happy to have you here and look at the time. I think it's time for you to start. So, if you know what KDE Live is, we start with this video. KDE Live is a community project which aims to deliver a free and open video editing software application to allow everybody to produce quality content in order to increase the democratization of the media. The application is a graphic interface written in C++ with QT and KDE libraries for the MLT framework written by Dandenity, which relies on FF, MPEG to decode and encode almost all the video and audio formats that are out today and which hosts effects libraries like Freyor and Moveit for video and Ladspot and Sox for audio. By following the official documents that we can find on the internet, the project was launched by Jason Wood, who released version 0.2.3 in October 2003. Soon, KDE Live 0.2.4 followed, but the community did not yet exist and the group was very small. The project stopped for two years. Before the end of 2005, Jean-Baptiste Mardel, who heard that the project would be reactivated, offered his help, and in 2006 he signed the post of the new release 0.3 of the program. From this moment on, he became the main reference point for the project. Version 0.4 and 0.5 are soon distributed, but there is an issue. A refactoring of the code is needed to go forward. The program has to be moved from KDE3, which is not compatible with MLT, to KDE4. The rewriting ends in 2008 followed by several new releases, but in 2011, a further migration from KDE4 to KDE5 was needed to allow the program to grow. In 2012, a crowdfunding campaign is launched to fund the operation and before the end of 2014, the goal is reached. Then finally, in 2015, KDE Live becomes an official KDE application. Jean-Baptiste was invited to Academy to present 10 years of activity. The new perspective is to make the project even bigger. Before the end of the year, the first KDE Live cafe is announced with the aim of getting more people involved. During this virtual meeting, it immediately became clear that in order to grow, KDE and Live needed to be cross-platform. The Windows version was announced and 2016 began with a sprint meeting followed by the new logo and the new site. But as soon as the development of new features started, it was evident that the code for the timeline had to be rewritten because it was too old and no longer fit. Everybody knew that the refactoring could take several months or years, but the community did not lose enthusiasm. In 2018, a new roadmap was written and in 2019, the refactored code was distributed, although some fine-tuning was still needed. To overcome this, the focus of the community in 2020 has revolved around fixing and improving the program. The result of this is the latest version 20.08 which delivers stability, several new features and a new interface with five workspaces. And that was the video. Now, I want to share immediately this Windows. This Windows actually is the Windows, the KDE and Live that is also in my background, is the project. It's the project that to produce in the video, you just watch. I open it to show you that it's not very difficult. There is a lot of situations that answer a lot of clips and different arrangements together to watch what we see. All these audio tracks are crazy because I did some tests with different music, but I don't enter them. I start from this interface to show you, for example, some improvements. So we stop with interfaces that we speak about in this last year, this different layout that, for example, I'm moving now from logging to effects, to audio, et cetera. But we didn't stop here. We make some small improvement, bigger improvement, for example, to the interface. About the interface, for example, we can tell that we created this zoom bar that are all over the interface, not just in the timeline. For example, if I load this audio, you can see that I can navigate the audio in very fine details. So this is improvement also. This is connected also. Sorry, with the... Oh. I don't... I'm not... to launch a scroll bar here, I don't know why. So this is just when you are live. Okay, sorry, it was me. So when you want to navigate more in detail, also the step of the tunnel, you have the scroll bar. So all the windows now are... I have this commodity. This stuff we can show about the improvement of the UI. For example, we can change the color of the clip. For example, if I want to add light to this clip, I want that is a different color in background to... to C, to marker, I can select the clip. And I can, for example, change the color to red. For example, if we want another color to be highlighted in our workspace. We are here, I can show you that we can also have the way to manage the tumbling, the audio tumbling in different ways. So we can normalize the audio to have the maximum size of the audio or just take the audio as the volume, represented volume is the tumbling now. The volume will maximize because when you have very tiny volume, you don't see anything to maximize the volume. So normalize the tumbling could be convenient, et cetera. Another thing I can show you that sounds very normal, but we have not before, was that now we can remove simultaneously all the tracks we want. That is something normal, but actually we miss it, and now we have it, it's very important. Before to close this project, because I don't want to change anything here because it's a complex project, I would like to show you that we have also another new feature important. This one is archival project. Archival project means that now we can create an archive, a zip archive or a target archive with all the assets or some of the assets we want that to archiving proposal, of course, or to move, for example, when we have to move to another machine and to have another address to all the other situations. So we can move just the archive and at this point we can open back in any machine so without any troubles. Now I open a new project so I can show you for further thing that happened. So I start going this login space where in this moment we already have the media browser that I show you better later because I will import more clip and I show you now, for example, we have all the resources like pixels, internet, archive, et cetera. If they want to, I need some trees, I can just run trees and we find the resources, the related trees with all the credit about the person that shared with us so without the license, et cetera. In the browser we have the preview of the clip and we show you later we can just drag and drop our clip from the position they are to our bin and we can find it in our bin here too. I chose this clip because actually this clip is an interview to this guy that I was a project for a broadcaster so I use it because I want to show you that we had... My name is David Danskitski We created just 20 seconds for this. I want to show you that now we had two features linked to text. What I mean, I mean that we have a subtitle, automatic subtitle, subtitle track that we can use to create subtitles, we have here subtitle creator, et cetera. But we can also create subtitle automatically, so for example I highlighted by putting an in and out point on the timeline to select a zone I click on the one that we have all the way to reach this point we select which kind of parsing of the text we want the language we can a lot different language from the BOSC BOSC is the planning we are using we have to thank them to produce this open software too. This is our clip While we are processing I will show you that we have another tool this is text edit that actually we can load inside the clip monitor a clip, select the zone we want and then extract the text from the audio the same as we are doing with episode tasks. When we have the list of the audio we can edit the text or export the text to a text file, et cetera. We can anyway edit the text and then export a playlist, a timeline that actually contain the footage related to the edited text so I show you the interface now in the meantime as you can see we are producing our subtitles and now we show how much are precise or not in terms of timing and transcription so as you can see we have our subtitles here so we can open it and edit it physically and time, et cetera and show you what happened here My name is David Danski and I'm a professional cycling instructor working in London As you can see to become a cycling instructor in the UK it is a national accreditation so my job title is officially a standard cycling instructor and it's so it works pretty well in my opinion I didn't know how it's parsing now the text if I select the correct libraries actually because before when I take the test it was pretty precise the text we can do the same here by using the models by parsing the zone for example all the zone and then extracting here is the button creating a timeline and the end of the job you can see the playlist that is contained just in the text we can I don't know if we have time to parse again the same text and we'll see that we have also the space for the empty where there is no dialogue so it's very useful for YouTubers when they want to remove for example an empty space nothing to make it automatically no speech you can see here for example this is a first line of text then we know that we have a pose here so probably again no speech in the following lines and so on if we edit this text so we copy paste and move it no speech or remove no speech and then we extract the playlist we have the playlist edited following our criteria now other stuff I want to show you that are interesting for example very basic very interesting is that we finally have a single track transition here everybody write me so I'm scared that something is not working or I don't know I hope that everything because I don't see what I'm broadcasting so anyway here I have to close this telegram please could you mute the audio from your screen share it's making it impossible to hear what you're saying thanks I have problem with the audio still I have to recognize the audio even if I need a feedback for the audio please the issue was that we can hear you fine but the sounds from your PC like notification sounds and from KDN live are a bit too loud so if you can lower or mute the every other volume other than your voice it would be perfect and I you need to unmute yourself again sorry you're still muted unfortunately on pick the button if you can unmute yourself I cannot do it okay okay I remove the application I have the phone that is not here that was ringing before I hope it's not bothering me again even if I will go to I hope that we didn't break any good moment for anybody with this issue I go back I was speaking about this single transition we apply it I I show you before we click this and the bottom but there is other way to install it we can trim it we have an interface to change parameters about the effect parameters we do a good job a big job by rearranging all the effect in categories first we had some effect I have a list I don't know we have some video quality inside we have all the VR 360 effect for reality cameras and other interesting field that comes recently about the filters we make an improvement also regarding the keyframes management second keyframe management so we now can use this button to create automatically keyframes by managing the footage and we can for example select for example now I am clicking I am taking press shift key on the keyboard and I click and drag for example we can select more keyframe this way we can do it by clicking press control and click on the keyframes for example like multiple frames we can even move multiple frames at time we can duplicate so for example if I select one and two sorry one and then scroll here I can duplicate the two keyframes I start from the second one etc we can I show you move more keyframe I show you before we can duplicate more keyframe and we can even select more keyframe for example ok and then change a parameter and apply this new parameter to all the other selected keyframe we can select which kind of parameter we want to apply to all the other keyframes another thing that we improve in term of effect we create a zone for effect that are applied single track on the master for example if I it's very visible if I apply a sepia effect on the master this is the master effect means that all the output is affected by if I want just to apply this effect on the part of the time and I click here and I can extend for example the area I want to just not all the time this can be can be done also also also on the track because I can apply the feature on a single track and you can see we have the area also just on sorry now it's off the filter as you can see we have also a single area in the track or on the master now I would like to change again I do something I show that someone complain about the title that is nobody's working on it it's not true I show you some improvement also on the title we create a title now we have the background we have new shapes for example classic round shape we have again I show you here if I can go down the type writer effect so if I the type writer effect so we now finally can use it again so we can show we can make appear the text character by character by word and by line and we can customize the kind of animation with the chance when we create the title to duplicate it by opening editing and we can update the old title or create a new one could be the copy or edit copy so different from the original one and by using the patterns and the template we can of course store for example preset and different titles so the title start to be pretty complete at this point also new stuff but I don't want to say too much in the title so I close now this before to close I want to open these are two beta version of KDN live the first one is that one and we have to think you use for this new feature we have to wait that it's opening so I can switch sharing the new window is open second please okay it's finally on so I can share it give me one second okay Allah also here and I can close this one sorry that I have too much space okay this is the space of the beta version of KDN live it looks like the same actually I can use the media browser as I told before for example now I change completed a folder here let me look okay as I told you we can for example the preview of our footage we are selecting now we can for example start from selecting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and we can drag the clip sorry the clip inside the project straight away from the media okay okay okay now I'm here to show you for example we have a long clip here we can use this one 5 seconds for example this one that is long we take a section here we put it under it after it and then we use another some second of that one we create a small project now we are in this situation we create these three objects but when we are working we are not overpicking about the in and out point of this midsection for example because it's not okay for example there is the zoom there's after the zoom we cut immediately so we want to trim it by using the slip system so I click on the slip will be have your label with a keyboard on it so now we can change the in and the out point of the clip without moving it let's see if you watch in the timeline we have a blue area that show us the maximum range of the frames of the clips that is the blue the pale blue area and the darker blue area is the part we are using this moment in the project monitor we can watch the in out point the new in out point of the clip following what I'm doing moving and the previous out point the following in point clip what to do for example I want to start with red avoid the zoom at the end this is my new in out point while we are doing performing this operation we have all the reference type of key frames numbers and these 1 plus 1 plus 5 for the future when will be buttons we can click to add and remove frame in this quantity next step of the demonstration and then I finish is to run another copy ok then live always beta running it ok now I share it close this one and in time I can really terminate that one so I share the new one can do the same here too ok I did it now I show you that we can this is a feature that will be in the version probably so in this summer the trimming will be complete probably at the end of the year not in the next release we can add one playlist more than one sequence more than one timeline if I had the playlist and I click it as you can see we have two tabs now they are the two different if I for example create a color clip for example cyan another color clip that could be yellow for example and I use one two and three just to make an example I take the playlist we create in the other time and we have exactly 15 seconds between five seconds yellow five seconds of cyan and five seconds of yellow again but if I change this sequence of object and I reverse it what happened we have still a dark area at the beginning we remove it we go here and the editing is changed here too now we have cyan yellow and cyan so this shows they are going in the direction of creating the multiple timeline I hope that is visible I don't see anymore the sharing during the moment we have a problem in my I don't know what's happening so if someone can give me a feedback about if you were able to see or not the screen could be nice like you did with the microphone I'm very sorry for this we could see the application so far not now I don't know why I try to share it again with the moment but anyway you were able to understand what no it's not more visible in the list of no it's not more visible in the list okay I run it again I start again the beta version this one could be problematic so I run again a normal version of KDN Live to have it as a background the risky beta version but I hope that you were able to follow the demonstration anyway I'm trying to fix up everything here bottom we are back so if there are questions I'm very happy to I hope that I didn't forget anything it's possible because the list of things we did we did so many stuff that I really I try to be very synthetic in half an hour I would like to answer with pleasure with questions if there are okay thank you very much Massimo so far there are no questions in the widget although there is one comment which I guess I can read waiting for questions to come this is from a user that says I would just like to thank everyone KDN Live for their hard work the potential of the project is limitless thanks to all of your efforts and I completely agree with that comment okay I speak for the group because I'm not alone we are a community and we are a strong group on the base so I can thank for everybody I hope that with the technical issue we had the explanation was clear anyway we have an idea of the new stuff that are coming mostly the training tools and the multiple timeline and all the job we did starting from the point we dropped in the video before so means we have just the multiple workflow the workspace for different workflow and now today we have a bunch of improvements in terms of effects and feature and all the stuff that we insert from doing this last 8 months okay we have questions coming in so the first one is from Jonathan Krita has had success working on Windows Store and Steam and others and selling it and hiring developers KDN Live is another flagship app could it follow the same model there are discussion about what's next in more how we arrange the way to deliver the way to interact we have very few and that is not convenient so we are trying to collect more people possible by telegram by all the channel we are running they need to be we are already in Windows you everybody of you know that we would like we we took in consideration the Windows stores but I am not the person that is focused on that we received from one of our support Mac OS Mac computer to try to finish to develop and deliver a version for Mac because Mac users are very interested in so we are happy with that and we would like to deliver too and we will see how to try in the future maybe to collect directly donation if people want to do for the moment we asked people to donate to KDN that actually found us some operation like the sprint and other important stuff that anyway comes to us in any case so yes we are reorganizing and try to do it better and to be more people possible okay thank you no further questions so I guess thank you very much Massimo for the presentation I was clear because with these technical problems I really didn't understood a certain but what's what happening because here I'm alone and just playing with the computer I don't know what's happening on the other side well virtual conferencing has its pros and cons it's true okay I hope to be was good enough and then we see next time probably thank you very much see you next time bye
