I get a little aggravated with Kdenlive's interface sometimes, but functionally it is a real heavy hitter.
Is there an easy way to add text in Kdenlive? I've been using it for like a year and still can't really figure it out. ๐ฉ
Or a better tool for the job?
Title frames are pretty inadequate for anything other than a home movie, in my opinion; though they're the in-software topmost solution. I don't think I'm alone in that notion.
Personally, I usually just work up an image overlay in other software, like Krita if you want something from the KDE set, or Blender, or some other tool, and export it in a transparent-background format that Kdenlive can treat as a clip, like EXR or PNG; then I overlay it in the timeline. It works fine for videos and gives you a lot more stylization options.
If I remember correctly text is an effect in kdenlive. It can be overlayed over any video.
Yes, but sadly only one line at a time. No multiline support (yet)
Huh, wierd. I remember I somehow did two lines in GOST Type A font.
Olive is really good now that you can edit text on top of the video preview
Thanks, I'll check it out!
