Unsupported video codec: libwebp

Help
1

Hi. I want render my video to webp, but when i choose Images sequence/webp, kdenlive tells me “Unsupported video codec: libwebp”.

I tried to replace ffmpeg in \kdenlive\bin with

ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl.zip (github BtbN)

or

ffmpeg-2024-03-14-git-2129d66a66-essentials_build (gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)

But it didn’t change anything.
I tried config wizard.
If i use ffmeg in terminal (.\ffmpeg.exe -i .\1.mp4 -vcodec libwebp -lossless 0 -q:v 70 -loop 1 test2.webp) it’s work.
If i create new present render - kdenlive just not showing in codec list libwebp or something like.

Windows 10 Home 22H2
Kdenlive 24.02

I suggest you create a bug report (@candidexmedia, @Nikolay can add comments and confirm that this is not an isolated issue). Go to bugs.kde.org or use the Kdenlive Menu > Help > Report Bug feature

Are you the sentient, @renamed_kdenlive? AI seems to be further along than I though …

I have the same question for you

Kdenlive became self-aware and is already posting in forums …

@renamed_kdenlive : could you please choose another user name, as this one might let people believe that you are part of the kdenlive team (which you are not). Thank you.

apparently this issue still exists in 2026.

It’s being addressed as this is typed: Add webp support for image sequences (!882) · Merge requests · Multimedia / Kdenlive · GitLab

Edit: Since that’s the case it would be sweet if someone added https://bugs.kde.org/508117 as well

Sweet, someone opened MR Add loop count support for WebP Animation render preset (!891) · Merge requests · Multimedia / Kdenlive · GitLab to address https://bugs.kde.org/508117

Still pending is Add webp support in ffmpeg (!1542) · Merge requests · Packaging / KDE Craft Blueprints · GitLab to get webp into Craft

MR was Merged !
