What is Kdenlive?
Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor for assembling footage, audio, titles and subtitles into a finished video. Its multitrack timeline supports layered edits and nested sequences, while effects, transitions and keyframes let you adjust clips over time. Proxy editing offers a lower-resolution workflow for demanding footage without replacing the original media.
The editor also includes audio mixing, voiceover recording and color tools such as LUTs and video scopes. Configurable layouts and keyboard shortcuts let you arrange the workspace around editing, sound or color work.
The linked 26.08.2 package is for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 Ventura or newer. Intel Macs need the separate Intel package listed on the publisher download page. The publisher screenshot illustrates Kdenlive’s desktop editing interface; it is not a verified capture of this Mac build.
What it offers
- Arrange video and audio across multiple timeline tracks and nested sequences.
- Apply effects, transitions and keyframed adjustments to clips.
- Use proxy editing for high-resolution footage.
- Create titles and subtitles, mix audio and record voiceovers.
- Adjust color with LUTs and scopes, and customize workspace layouts and shortcuts.
Good to know
- Requires macOS 13 Ventura or newer; this package does not target older macOS releases.
- This download is Apple Silicon (ARM64) only. Intel Macs require the separate Intel DMG from the publisher.
