Kdenlive is not portable- it writes to AppData (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\kdenlive and C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\kdenlive). I experienced several problems- for example I failed to browser "C:\" partition, playback and searching was a bit bumpy, the program crashed once but managed to recover saved data, it also failed to exit clearly and I had to terminate it via a task manager, it does not remember window size and position on desktop, program icon is not embedded into the executable (kdenlive.exe), etc.

Great news! Looks like a capable video editor. I wonder if John will consider PAF'ing it when the issues are ironed out?

Thanks for checking. I'm pleased to see some good free video editors and amazed to see them coming from the open source community.

Evidently the PA project is watching OpenShot and seems to be waiting for it to get out of beta. Maybe they'll have similar feelings about Kdenlive.
