Extract text from Kdenlive projects (KDENLIVE)
To convert KDENLIVE projects to another format, you need Kdenlive or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Video Project File" file type, you need software like Kdenlive or a similar tool.
A .kdenlive file is an XML-based project file used by the open-source video editor Kdenlive. It stores the timeline layout, track arrangements, transitions, audio levels, and applied effects for a specific video project. It is primarily managed by Kdenlive and relies on the underlying MLT framework to interpret the edits.
The major disadvantage of this format is that it does not contain the actual video or audio data. It only holds absolute or relative file paths pointing to the media assets on your local drive. If you move the media files or share the .kdenlive file without the source videos, the project breaks. Furthermore, it is tied to Kdenlive's specific effect syntax, making it incompatible with industry-standard editors like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Users typically want to convert a .kdenlive file into playable video formats like MP4, WebM, or MKV. However, standard online converters fail to process this format because they expect a media file with video streams, not a text-based map. Rendering a video requires the original source files and the MLT editing engine.
Because this is a proprietary, non-rendered project format, it is difficult to convert online. If our analysis detects a supported embedded text format, viewing or extracting the project data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KDENLIVE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ASS, MP4, PRPROJ and AUP3 files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our KDENLIVE converter.
