Hi,

we have the pleasure to announce the first beta release of KdenLive and PIAVE. 

KdenLive is a generic video editor GUI. It provides a monitor window with 
     controls, an overview of clips used in the current project, and most 
     important, a timeline where you can arange clips to build a project. 
     Clips can be trimmed, cut, and moved in the timeline. KdenLive can 
     communicate via a XML based protokoll to a render engine which handles 
     the actual video data.

PIAVE is a render engine and effect library. It can read DV video files, 
     render effects and transitions between input streams. Streams can be
     displayed or piped to a file. Any project can link agains libpiave and 
     use the provided features. PIAVE also provides a server application which 
     can receive commands from KdenLive.

Release version: 0.2.0
Release focus: Initial beta release, i.e. not for core developers only.


Project status / features:
--------------------------

   Many important features are still missing. But as the project matures and 
gets to a state where you can actually do something usefull, we want to get 
people testing what is already there and suggest features, we want to find 
out what is most important to people, and last not least we want to attract 
developers. There are many small and not so small things where people could 
help. Be it GUI development, XML/network development, or development of 
input, output, or effect plugins.
   What you can already do:
- Open files in raw DV format (e.g. from dvgrab)
- trim / cut / arange the clips in the timeline
- scroll / step through the project
- play the project
- load / save projects
- export the project to a raw DV file

What you cannot yet do:
- control your DV cam and grab clips
- import or export other fileformats than raw DV
- handle sound and video separately
- effects and transitions are not yet configurable via the GUI which
  means they are practically not available.
