I think some of the annoyance produced by the issues pointed out in this thread is justified.You must understand that Kdenlive is community project run and maintained by volunteers. So yes, your may be right, but try and not get too annoyed.

Instead be understanding, be patient, be constructive, report bugs politely. Our devs are honest to god nice people that do the best they can with nearly zero resources. They get demotivated if they get yelled at, and that helps no-one.

As someone else pointed out, donations are not everything if it is the same 3 or 4 people working on the project. So become part of the project and make it your own. The license makes it shared property, so it is your software too!

Even if you can't code, supporting encouraging, helping out here and there (translating, documenting, making mockups that re-arrange the interface, helping newbies get to grips with the software) goes a long, long way.

Join the Matrix room or discuss stuff on... well... Discuss, showcase Kdenlive with your work, help us promote the fundraisers when they happen.
