Create impressive presentations with Kdenlive

Conclusions

Imagination, which I mentioned at the beginning, is fine for simple slideshows, but Kdenlive is in a different league. You can really control all the effects precisely with Kdenlive and rework the finest details. It might make sense to combine the two programs. In this case, you first create smaller clips with Imagination, which you then connect in Kdenlive. For really complex effects and transitions, Kdenlive offers far more possibilities than other programs. It is definitely worth taking a closer look at the Wipe transition and the Transformation effect.
