--- Comment #5 from Zastrix Arundell <zastrixarund...@gmail.com> --- Thanks for the answer. I probably won't open anything additional as AFAIK this is the proper channel. There is a reddit post which does ask for basically the same thing I'm describing here and there was no answers from devs afaik: https://www.reddit.com/r/kdenlive/comments/1akbii2/kdenlive_is_great_but_im_not_using_it_all_because/ > This is indeed a problem but only if you copy a clip from the timeline and > paste it to the timeline. > You need to *duplicate* the clip in the Project Bin, and then drag the new > copy to the timeline. > Then you can change the content (by double-clicking on the title clip in the > timeline or in the bin). Let me just quote this from a previous comment: > This is an insane time sink when there's 1000+ words And the typewriter effect isn't what I need. I gave a random example of single-word text. What if I only partially want to put down a sentence? Or even wanted to partially put down lots and lots of sentences for a video of 1+ hours? > This is indeed a problem but only if you copy a clip from the timeline and > paste it to the timeline. > You need to *duplicate* the clip in the Project Bin, and then drag the new > copy to the timeline. Huge timesink and bad UX. Just because it is currently the way of doing that, doesn't mean that it should be the only way of doing that. > I understand that this is a learning curve... There shouldn't be a learning curve for putting down text. I understand I can achieve whatever I want with text using titleclips, but it's just a bad implementation forcing me to use other editors whenever I slightly need to do anything with text because kdenlive is just vastly inferior for this use-case. Again, this isn't a report where I'm asking for support to learn to use something, it's a feature request for a really missing (and basic) feature. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
