I want to do a quick edit to a video, swap one audio file for another one. I want to minimize transcoding. I was sad to see I have to specify a lot of settings that I don't know before importing the video that I want to just transfer without reencoding. I don't know if it is 24fps, 29.98, 30, I don't know the resolution, and I don't actually care other than it stays the same. I was expecting to be able to open an mp4 file in kdenlive and have the project details populate automatically.
Kdenlive should automatically check for the first added clip's profile and proposes to automaticall adjust the project profile to the clip, unless you disabled the option in Kdenlive Settings > Misc > Check if first added clip matches profile. If you have added clips to the bin before, you can adjust the project profile to a specific clip by doing this: * Select your clip in Project Bin * Project > Adjust Profile to Current Clip
