Don’t worry too much about the default settings because you can change them anytime. If you’re installing Kdenlive for the first time you’ll get a configuration wizard at first run. I have Kdenlive 0.9.4, and it does not need RecordMyDesktop. The Kdenlive documention is outdated and tells you that you need RecordMyDesktop to make screencasts. I prefer a good-quality headset for making narrations because you don’t have to worry about microphone placement, and you can listen to yourself over and over without driving bystanders insane. Keep it clean and simple, and keep the rambling digressions, verbal tics, and distracting background noises to a minimum. Please, I beg you, pay attention to your audio. Your soundtrack is just as important as your video track. In short, it should handle pretty much anything you throw at it. It supports image files such as GIF, PNG, SVG, and TIFF, and audio file formats including uncompressed PCM, Vorbis, WAV, MP3 and AC3. Kdenlive supports most popular digital video formats, including AVI, MP4, H.264, and MOV.
