kdenlive

[joskezelensky]

Is it possible to convert/ open a kdenlive video editor (xml) file in losslesscut and apply the edits losslessly that way?
For example: the kdenlive file includes some cuts and audio fades in / out.

Kdenslive xml is not currently supported, but support could be added if the format is relatively compatible with losslesscut's operation.

I've added your suggestion here: #1340

audio fade in / out will not be able to be supported, see #372

That's completely normal, but that will also be able to be done losslessly in kdenlive, so no problem
and i'm amazed by how fast your answer was given!

this is a python script to convert kdenlive to fcpxml, which should be a temporary solution for me...

if you can provide simple kdenlive xml file that covers everything that needs to be supported, then maybe someone (or an AI) can implement a parser

openai created this code:

export function parseKdenlive(xmlStr: string) {
  const parser = new XMLParser();
  const jsonObj = parser.parse(xmlStr);

  // Assuming the structure of the Kdenlive project XML
  const project = jsonObj.kdenlive;
  const tracks = project.tracks.track.map((track: any) => ({
    id: track['@_id'],
    name: track['@_name'],
    clips: track.clip.map((clip: any) => ({
      id: clip['@_id'],
      name: clip['@_name'],
      start: clip['@_start'],
      end: clip['@_end'],
    })),
  }));

  return {
    projectName: project['@_name'],
    tracks,
  };
}

      end: clip['@_end'],
    })),
  }));

  return {
    projectName: project['@_name'],
    tracks,
  };
}

It might be time to implement multi-input support
