Kdenlive 25.12.0 releasedThe Kdenlive team is happy to announce the release of version 25.12.0, just in time for the holiday season. For this release, we concentrated on improving the user experience. Many of these changes were discussed during our very productive Berlin sprint last September, where the team met for three days of brainstorming.
Interface and Usability Docking SystemWe introduced a new, more flexible docking system, allowing you to group the widgets you want together or easily show/hide them on demand. Each layout is now saved in its own file, opening the possibility for sharing. It is also now saved inside the project file, so when reopening a project the layout used when saving it is loaded and you are immediately ready to continue where you left off editing! The downside is that existing layouts are not compatible, so that you will need to recreate your custom layouts.
Welcome ScreenWe introduced a Welcome Screen to improve the experience for new users, and add some handy shortcuts for everyone. With your feedback this will evolve in the future. Along with the Welcome Screen, we introduced a vertical layout and optional safe areas to improve editing of 9:16 videos.
Menu RestructuringPart of a long running discussion in the team, the menus were re-organized to make them more intuitive. Our long-time users may be confused initially (hopefully not for long, though), but we tried to follow some of the conventions in the professional editing world. For example, we regrouped all file related actions like
MonitorRenderand theProject Settingsin theFilemenu. There might be a few adjustments in the upcoming releases, but the most important changes are in. Thanks to users and translators feedback, we were able to fix several parts of the user interface that were not picked up properly for translation, making Kdenlive easier to use in your native language.We revamped the monitor view of audio, with a minimap on top allowing to intuitively zoom parts of the audio.

MarkersFor consistency and to avoid confusion, we renamed timeline
Major Bug Fixesguidestomarkers, since the termguidewas used interchangeably and therefore confusing, and they were in fact markers for a sequence clip. Markers can now have a duration that is shown in the timeline, and can be dragged in the timeline from the Markers list.Packaging
- We fixed more than 15 crash reports
- Windows: Fix render failure when user name contains special characters
- Fix project corruption when copy-pasting a sequence or project file between projects
Last Minute Fixes
- We fixed the VAAPI support in AppImage, allowing for faster decoding and render time
- Several updates made it into our binaries, like Qt 6.10.1 and FFmpeg 8.0
Several fixes that will be in the next release have already been included in the 25.12.0 binaries available on kdenlive.org. If you installed Kdenlive from your Linux distro, you will get those fixes with version 25.12.1 (release scheduled for January 2026).
