I managed to do this (finally) by: - adding the ppa https://launchpad.net/~kdenlive/+archive/ubuntu/kdenlive-stable - reinstalling melt

i like White chocolate with almonds from ALDI, vangelis, hong kong Pop Music from the 80s and early 90s, star trek the classic series, blue led lights at night. I dislike social pressure, being not as intelligent and good looking as i wished to be, the headache and Tinnitus i suffer from 24/7. I am a White male from Germany, suffering from agoraphobia, bound to a Limit of locomotion within a radius of about 1 km , but it depends on specific environmental Features. i am a single, i have a few friends, but i am alone most of the time.

my system:
- intel cpu
- gtx 1050 ti
- ubuntu suite 16.04
- kdenlive 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 (got this with dpkg -l, think it is the version)
The GPU option in Kdenlive is greyed out, I read I have to have the movit-library (libmovit4) installed in order to enable the GPU option. Strangely, the movit library is already installed.

  Possible duplicate of How to install the moveit library ?

  @AndroidDev I'd suggest closing the other one (which seems to be the Y in this particular XY-problem )

  Do you have dual video cards? Are you using effects in your project?

  I just have one GPU, I use different effects like BLUR,VERTIGO,CURVES,VIGNETTE...the effects work, but they would not work so slowly with a GPU enabled.

  I don't have enough rep to comment this but I am also having the exact same problem, kdenlive has the GPU Processing greyed out when using a GTX1050Ti, even with libmovit installed and configured perfectly. It's super odd. I have used kdenlive before on a Laptop with HD4000 (not dedicated) graphics and it still wasn't greyed out for that computer so why is it greyed out with an actual dedicated GPU?

  I activated GPU rendering in Kdenlive 17.08.2 (Ubuntu 17.10, i7 laptop with dual GPU - intel/nvidia GeForce GTX 950M; only open source drivers are installed). On my system, it takes 3-4-6 times longer to render a HD 1.3 minutes clip with GPU rendering. So, for me it makes no sense to do that as it is much slower. Hope it helps others.
