How to Install KDEnlive

Hello, everyone!
I'd like to share about how to install KDEnlive.
What is KDEnlive?

KDEnlive is a freeware and open source video editor. It is non-linear.

What is non-linear?

Non-linear is similar to cut and paste method. It accesses directly to any frames in a video clip without needing to play to reach it.

Now, I'll tell you about things to do.
Step 1
Download KDEnlive at here and unpack to wherever you want to as your installation path.

Step 2
Download ffmpeg at here. Make sure you download the right version. I mean if KDEnlive version is for 64-bit, then you need to choose ffmpeg for 64-bit version, too.
For Linking.
If you choose Static, it means you just use the default built by KDEnlive team without the executables that depends on dll or dylib files.
If you choose Shared, it means you use the executables that depends dll or dylib files which are created by KDEnlive.
If you choose Dev, it means contain the header and def files that you need to build it by yourself. Yes, because it means development state.
What is dll or dylib?

dll is a library that contain code to be able to be used by many programs. If the program use it as a dependency, it can cause the program not to run when another program breaks the dependency, but in another case, it'll be useful because code reuse makes the memory more efficient and reduce disk space.

So, I recommend you choose Shared one.

After you've done, open and go to "bin" folder.

Select all of the files inside the "bin" folder.

Drag to your KDEnlive installation path, then replace or overwrite all of the files.

Step 3
Go to "preset" folder

Select all of the files inside the "preset" folder.

Drag to your KDEnlive installation path.

Step 4
Run KDEnlive.

If you got problem at first, then just click "OK". Close it, then re-run KDEnlive. Voila.
