Ya we advance it last Thursday: "the first application to be updated via Discover (or Flathub) will be Kdenlive and then the rest will follow«. So it has always been and so it has been this time. KDE released last Thursday Kdenlive 19.08 along with the rest of the new KDE applications and during the weekend it began to be available, starting on its official website and following it on Flathub, where we can download its Flatpak version.
Kdenlive 19.08 is the second major update of 2019, after the one they released in April introducing some changes that were not liked by everyone. As a major update that does not focus on maintenance, v19.08 of the famous KDE video editor introduces new highlights, such as thumbnails that now move when we hover over it by pressing the Shift key. Below you have the most outstanding news that comes with Kdenlive 19.08.

Truth be told, this new version has surprised me a lot, but a lot and for the better, it already corrects many critical errors that somewhat obfuscated the release of version 19.04 and introduces improvements that, for example, I was very critical of the version. elimination of the speed effect believe that now with the new and stable assistant and this magnificent possibility of stretching the clip by pressing control I think that we will quickly forget about that effect, thanks for your contribution.
