I don’t have the same problem on Windows 11, 1080p 30 fps. I have Kdenlive Version 25.08.2, and I think it was the first I installed, so I have no “project conversion” happening.
You marked this as solved, and a workaround is good, but if there’s a bug I think it should be kept in mind/reported.
I’ll comment on your post to perhaps clarify what differs here.
This is the title clip I’ve created:
It says W 0 on the top, and so does min if I didn’t select the text. It would be interesting if you actually selected the text in this screen shot, to show the actual parameters used, color blur etc. Especially, what is the zoom (above rotation)?
You have an image in the screen shot, but I assume that’s the “background” option activated at the bottom. Otherwise I was thinking of z-layering.
What about the template tab, did you happen to get any corrupt template as your default?
the text is visible in the little box inside the timeline, but neither in timeline view or clip view window.
If I set title zoom to 0%, I won’t see text in neither timeline, clip preview nor render preview. I also have black background in the clip preview, even with 0% zoom, so not sure how you got the “see through” checkerboard.
The Font you used is also something I don’t have, so also a consideration, but you got that working with the workaround?
Apparently, any title clip created has its properties incorrectly set. It’s size is set to (0, 0) instead of the resolution it should be.
You show the “transform effect”, did you have that originally, or was it just a way to get the size?
I don’t see any “garbage can” on the effect, so I assume it’s the “built in effects” (which I think is a preview feature, not mature, specially activated in settings). Even using that, I’m not able to get 0% hw 0,0, the closest I get is 1% or the numbers just reset back.
I can set opacity 0%, which will hide text in render, but not in clip view. Also, even if I set incorrect transform size, it doesn’t affect the clip view, so I’m surprised that you could actually
Now here’s the issue with current, stable version (25.08.2). Created title clips show the correct size, but it’s a fake value.
The layers might depend on lower layers. I don’t have any .mkv in my test. But you had the same problem with blank project or static background?
It shows 2560, 1440 but they are still 0, 0 in reality.
That seems extra strange. What about the zoom and opacity in that case?
To fix, you need to simply resize the title clip again which corrects the value and title clip becomes visible again.
Was the fix persistent, or you have to resize each clip?
I’m sure they’ll fix it with upcoming versions.
Would be interesting to know if it’s a general problem, or some error occurring in your install specifically.
I also think it sounds like a better closure.
