The Record Control in version 15.08.3 only allows to select "Webcam" or "Screen Grab" as a capture source. In earlier versions it was possible to caputre from a Blackmagic device. When clicking on "Configure Recording" there is still a tab with the title "Blackmagic" and I selected "Blackmagic card" as the default capture card, but the new Record Control only allows to select from "Webcam" or "Screen Grab". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kdenlive 2. In Clip Monitor click on the "+"-Symbol with the tooltip "Show Record Control" 3. Open capture device drop-down and see only "Webcam" and "Screen Grab" 4. Click on "Configure Recording" and select "Blackmagic card" as the default capture device 5. Click on the "Blackmagic" tab and confirm capture settings 6. Realize that "Webcam" and "Screen Grab" are still the only options for recording Actual Results: Record Control only allows to select from "Webcam" or "Screen Grab". Expected Results: Record Control should allow to select other input devices as Blackmagic card or DV device and respect the default capture device setting. $ pacman -Qi kdenlive Name : kdenlive Version : 15.08.3-1 About Dialog: Kdenlive Version 15.08.3 KDE Frameworks 5.16.0 Qt 5.5.1 (compiled against 5.5.1) Kernel 4.2.5-1-ARCH lshw output: *-multimedia description: Multimedia video controller product: Intensity Pro vendor: Blackmagic Design physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 version: 00 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=blackmagic_driver latency=0 resources: irq:18 memory:f6900000-f69fffff memory:f6800000-f68ff Using driver from Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_Linux_10.5.2.tar.gz compiled locally.
