For anyone who’s curious, I went ahead and created a “default” project with the title I normally use already setup on the timeline. That way when I start a new project I can just copy the default template and my title with animations is already there ready to go. Just need to modify the text and it’s good. It’s not a perfect solution, and certainly wouldn’t work for someone who desires to use different or multiple titles per project, but it’s good enough for me. Here’s what it looks like: https://youtu.be/dlGUT0c46Ts

Appreciate the link, thanks!

Yeah, the Kdenlive titler is perfectly workable, and I’ve already created a template or two for quick re-usability. I was being a bit nit-picky ecause everything else has honestly been great. I guess I’m just more used to Resolve where you can have premade title templates that have their own animations already built-in and dynamically adjust to the size of the content. This makes adding titles a snap as opposed to Kdenlive where I have to add my template, then add the content, then manually resize the elements to fit the content then add to the timeline and finally apply animations. What takes maybe 30 seconds in Resolve can be a 3-5 min job in Kdenlive. This could probably be cut-down a lot as I become more efficient though. My title needs aren’t really that complicated.

Correct. I was disappointed to find this out as well. Supposedly it’s due to these codecs requiring a paid license to use. With windows the license cost is baked into the cost of the windows license itself, but of course that doesn’t exist with Linux. It CAN work on Linux if you purchase the studio version of Resolve, but I wasn’t ready to shell out $300 for a video editor when I’m only producing content for Youtube as a hobby and for the fun of it.

LMAO! Racist? I didn’t know “dictator” was a race! Please, enlighten me.

Gee, I wonder which group of users would do something like that…
