PiTiVi, alternative Linux à Kdenlive

Mis à jour le 3 novembre 2026

Notre avis

PiTiVi can serve as a replacement for Kdenlive for users who need a straightforward, GNOME‑integrated editor and are comfortable with a more modest feature set. It handles multi‑track editing, keyframes, and common formats, making it suitable for hobbyists, educators, or anyone whose workflow doesn’t rely on the deeper effects library and advanced color tools that Kdenlive provides. Power users who depend on extensive codec options, complex audio mixing, or professional‑grade color grading will likely find PiTiVi lacking, but for basic to intermediate projects it is a solid, stable choice.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

Non‑linear multi‑track editing
Keyframe animation for effects and filters
Support for any format GStreamer can decode (covers MP4, MKV, MOV, etc.)
Crossfades and SMPTE‑style transitions
Detachable UI panels for multi‑monitor setups

Ce qui change

PiTiVi lacks the extensive built‑in effects library and advanced color correction tools found in Kdenlive
Audio mixing in PiTiVi is simpler; no multi‑track audio ducking or advanced waveform editing
Export presets are fewer and less granular than Kdenlive’s codec‑specific profiles
Kdenlive offers proxy editing and timeline rendering optimizations that PiTiVi does not provide
Kdenlive’s community provides more third‑party effect packs and tutorials

Ouvrir vos fichiers Kdenlive

PiTiVi cannot directly open Kdenlive project files (.kdenlive) because the two editors use different project formats. You can import the same source media into PiTiVi and rebuild the timeline manually, but there is no built‑in conversion tool. Exporting a finished video from Kdenlive in a common container (e.g., MP4) and then reopening that file in PiTiVi works without issue.

Passer de Kdenlive à PiTiVi, étape par étape

Install PiTiVi from your distribution’s repository or Flathub.
Gather all source clips used in your Kdenlive project and place them in a single folder.
Open PiTiVi and create a new project with the desired resolution and frame rate.
Import the media files, then recreate the track layout and cuts using PiTiVi’s ripple/roll editing.
Re‑apply effects and transitions using PiTiVi’s keyframe‑able filters.
Export the final video using the appropriate preset.

Questions fréquentes

Can I use Kdenlive’s proxy files in PiTiVi?

No. PiTiVi does not understand Kdenlive’s proxy file system, so you must work with the original media or generate new proxies within PiTiVi.

Does PiTiVi support hardware‑accelerated encoding?

PiTiVi relies on GStreamer plugins; hardware acceleration is available only if the underlying GStreamer elements and drivers are installed and configured.

Is PiTiVi suitable for 4K video editing?

It can handle 4K clips, but without proxy editing the performance may be slower than Kdenlive on the same hardware.
