Prepare the editable handover
Kdenlive 26.08 documentation describes Archive Project as copying required project files and media into a folder or compressed archive, with clip references updated to the archived versions. This supports moving an editable production between computers. Copying only the project instructions can leave references pointing at media which remains on the first computer. Decide which revision capability the receiving editor needs before preparing the archive.
Choose whether unused alternatives belong in it
For an original example, a permitted interview project contains the current timeline and several unused alternative answers in its bin. A colleague may need those alternatives for the next edit. Review the Archive only timeline clips choice against that requirement instead of selecting it solely to reduce transfer size. The documentation explains that reopening an archive made with that choice can require a decision about clips which were not included. Keep the original production until the receiving copy has been reviewed.
Open the archive as the receiving editor
The documented opening workflow selects Archived Project and extracts the archive to a chosen location. On the receiving computer, open that copy and check representative source clips, titles and the timeline, including an unused alternative if it was meant to be transferred. Confirm that the edit no longer depends on the first computer source folders. Retain a readable description of application and effect requirements as well: a media archive is not an installation of the editing application or every external tool used in production.
