Detailed Description
Incorporate kdenlive into the Fedora mainstream, thereby getting it better integrated into Fedora so that it uses the same versions of libraries, and the same installation methods. See [http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/fedora-packages] for the current packaging status.

Benefit to Fedora
Fedora currently has kino, which is a nice simple video editor. Kdenlive would provide an improvement to kino in both usability and sophistication.

Scope
Unknown.

Test Plan
Create a set of packages for Fedora that do not depend upon any incompatible libraries or non-free code. Test and integrate with F12. Release in F12?

User Experience
Users will have a more intuitive video editor with more, and better supported, functionality.

Dependencies
