===== [1] Project Bin, Library: =====
The project bin is your media library. It stores all your video clips, audio files, and images for your project. You can import media from your computer and organize them with folders. The bin acts as a bridge, letting you drag and drop clips to the timeline for editing in the next step.

after dragging into your timeline it should look something like this.
If you want titles to overlay other footage, you put title clips on ''video track 1'' and have the other footage on ''video track 2''. You also need to retain the affine transition that is automatically added to the title clips if you want the footage visible underneath.

==== Save project files ====
'''Adding fade in fade out effect'''
Kdenlive needs a project file to save the information that makes up a video project. Information such as the name and location of your project, video and audio files, timeline information, which clips have been trimmed, arranged, etc. This project file you can use it later if you need to do any change in your file. Click on "File --> Save Project", enter your ''file name'' and select location for save in that location.
By adding fade-in and fade-out for the clips, it will smoothly change the slides from one to next.
'''Adding fade in/out for clip'''
The most basic type of fade-in and fade-out are the fade from black and fade to black effects. The easiest way to add these to your media files is to move the mouse pointer close to the corner of a clip on the timeline, then click and drag until your fade reaches the desired length.
==== Adding transition effect ====
A transition effect in video editing smoothly bridges the gap between two separate clips. It creates a visual connection, adding flow and style to your video by:
'''*Animating the change:''' using fades,wipes,dissolves, or other visual effects to avoid an abrupt jump between clips.
'''*Enhancing the narrative:''' Emphasizing the passage of time, introducing new scenses, or creating a specific mood
==== How to add transition effect ====
<gallery mode="packed" heights="300">

To add a transition effect, first 2 clips need to be placed next to each other without any void space. Double-click between the clips, and a basic wipe transition effect will be added. For another transition, click on the transition effect, which is in between the clips. A dilouge window opens next to the display window or project monitor. (Note: Place can be varied according to the customized workspace.In that dilouge box, there will be an option called wipe method. In that option, you can find different types of transition effects as per your requirements.
