Kdenlive 25.08.1 Released with Stability Fixes and UI Improvements

The first maintenance update of Kdenlive 25.08 video editor improves usability and stability with key fixes for rendering, effects, and project handling.

Kdenlive 25.08.1 has been released as the first maintenance update in the 25.08 series, part of the wider KDE Gear 25.08 application bundle.

Among the fixes, users will notice improvements in rendering, where problems with multi-audio file output and two-pass encoding have been resolved.

Additionally, playlist clips now reload properly when modified, and project handling is steadier due to fixes for crashes on opening, clip deletion, and failed sequence creation.

The update also tackles a series of annoying UI glitches, including issues with icons, fonts in the effect stack, and curve editors not using the full width of the panel.

MacOS users benefit from corrected project file icons and higher-resolution app icons, while Flatpak packaging has been refined to address installation problems and crashes linked to protobuf and the MLT movit module.

Lastly, the release also smooths out workflow problems in the monitor and effects timeline, fixing freezes and unexpected playback behaviors when working with clips and keyframes.
