Kdenlive graphic acceleration

#1 Post by nlyric »

Hey everyone, kind of new to posting here. Been away from linux and a computer for so long that I feel painfully ignorant. In another life I was a regular on Mepis lovers forum. I recognize some users from back then.
Anyway what i'm trying to do is get graphics acceleration working in kdenlive. It is usable now but previews can be choppy at times. Even audio in preview sometimes. I have an old dell laptop that my nephew sent me. When I go to Setting/configure kdenlive/playback and check the box "use GPU processing (movit library) and restart kdenlive I get a warning.
So I started kdenlive from terminal to see whats up. I'm not even sure I'm on the right path here to solve what I'm trying to solve.

In GUI I get "Cannot initialize Movit's GLSL manager, please disable Movit"

In terminal I believe this might be the relevant part " Movit system requirements: OpenGL version 2.1 is too old (OpenGL 3.0 needed)"

Questions How do I fix this? Will fixing this even help? All my rendering does fine audio and video so like I said the program is usable as is but would be nice if previews were smoother. I feel like I've forgotten everything I ever knew about Linux so go easy. Thanks in advance.

It could be that the hardware just doesn't support openGL 3.0, especially if it's old.

Older intel core processors do not support OpenGL 3.0. My ironlake era laptop has similar issues with obs-studio.

Sandybridge and later should support OpenGL 3.0
