We have the pleasure to announce the 0.2.4 releases of both Kdenlive and 
PIAVE. This primarily a bug-fix release over the previous 0.2.3 release, 
although several new features have been added.

Kdenlive is a video editing GUI for KDE. It provides dual video monitors, a 
multi-track timeline and clip list. Other features include customizable 
layout support, preliminary support for effects and translation into French.

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 against libpiave and use 
the provided features. PIAVE also provides a server application which can 
receive commands from Kdenlive.

Editing in Kdenlive is possible with various tools via the timeline and video 
monitors, allowing you to move and resize one or more clips, and razor clips 
into two. All timeline tools can snap to clip start/ends and the current seek 
position. Kdenlive communicates via an XML based protocol to a render engine 
which handles the actual video data.

New Features Include:
================
* Italian Translation by Daniele Medri <madrid@linuxmeeting.net>
* Initial support for importing Kino project files. (Seems complete, but not 
fully tested)
* Preliminary support for snap markers
* Play selected button on clip monitor.

Some important features are still missing, but Kdenlive is now useable for 
small projects. We would like people to test what we have and tell us which 
features they miss the most. 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, development of plugins, or simply reporting bugs.

What you can already do :

- Open files in raw DV and AVI 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 (supported by piave but not available via 
kdenlive)
- import or export other fileformats
- handle sound and video separately
- effects and transitions are not yet configurable via the GUI which means 
they are practically not available.
