Loper · Editors & assistant editors
Open .kdenlive files on your Mac.
.kdenlive .mlt
Open-source editors save projects as MLT XML: profiles, producers, playlists and tracks.
Loper is a free, minimal editor for macOS that opens Kdenlive / Shotcut project (MLT) instantly and colors every part of the file, so you find the value you need at a glance and can fix it right there. No IDE, no project to load, no gray wall of text.
