Differences from Kdenlive#

Wunjo Make is a fork of Kdenlive, the KDE video editor. The timeline, monitors, effects, compositing, titles and rendering work the way Kdenlive’s do, which is why most of this manual comes from the Kdenlive Manual. This page lists what Wunjo adds or changes.

What Wunjo adds#

AI tools as plugins

Face swap, face animation, lip sync, voice cloning and voice separation come as Python plugins (.wmplugin files) instead of being built into the editor. Install only what you need, each in its own environment. See AI features.

An assistant that edits for you

The Chat panel talks to an AI assistant that drives the editor with the same tools a person uses. The assistant can be a local model plugin such as Qwen 3.5, or an agent you already use (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) connected through the built-in MCP server. See Assistant.

Face and voice regions

Some plugins add their own effects: Face Region follows a face through the clip, and Lip Region marks the face that lip sync should make speak. You keyframe and adjust them like any other effect.

Your own plugins

Anyone can write a plugin: a folder with a manifest and a Python script. See Wunjo Plugins.

What is named differently#

Kdenlive

Wunjo Make

Settings file wunjorc

Data folder ~/.local/share/kdenlive

Data folder ~/.local/share/wunjo

Title clips still use the .kdenlivetitle format, so titles made in Kdenlive open in Wunjo Make.

Where to get help#

Wunjo Make has its own issue tracker. Please report Wunjo problems there rather than to the Kdenlive team, even when the feature also exists in Kdenlive: the code has diverged and they cannot reproduce problems in Wunjo.
