I have recently changed to kdenlive because I was not happy with my commercial product. It works fine so far (although system ressource management is the biggest issue in my view).
One thing confuses me: I use quite a lot of captions for descriptions in my videos.
This workflow worked best by just creating one caption (title and a semi-transparent image underneath) and copying them. In kdenlive I tried the same thing, but copying titles only sometimes creates a new instance of that object while in most cases it just creates a pointer to the original title object, with one change affecting all other copied titles.
I did not find any option how to create a new instance of the title every time.
Can someone help me there?
Do you copy the title in the project bin or in the timeline? If you copy in the timeline it indeed is a copy of (or better: pointer to) the same clip from the project bin; if you copy in the project bin it creates a true copy which you can change and rename independently from the original.
Of course I use templates, and I can copy the clip in the project bin.
BUT I want to copy two objects at the same time, plus fade-in and fade-out for both:
1 track the subtitle text
1 track the underlying graphics.
So I keep everything together with the effects and the proper length aligned.
Everything else does not save me time, I do it that way anyway.
