Hello,
New here on this forum, my very first post, so please forgive me for not posting in the appropriate section.

I am currently subtitling a personal movie using Kdenlive (19.04.2) on Linux Mint 19.1.
The only way I managed to add a title clip was using the Project Bin from left side, right click in it and chose Add Title Clip.
Imagine when the Project Bin is full of 500+ title clips, it is very difficult to be efficient, even if the title clips are arranged in alphabetical order.

Is the a way to add a title clip exactly where my mouse position is on the movie? (I mean without right clicking the Project Bin over and over).

Hi and welcome,
You can use "Project -> Add title clip", and/or set up a shortcup, in "Settings -> Configure shortcuts" (i don't remember if there's one by default).
And the title clip will always be added to the project bin, and then you have to put it on the timeline.

Yeah, thanks for suggesting a shortcut.
In fact I thought there is a way to insert a new title clip right in the mouse position.
It is annoying to scroll in the Project Bin where are hundreds of title clips.
Where can I make this a request for further versions? I am amazed nobody saw this lack of feature in Kdenlive.

@ovisergiu: It is indeed tedious! Someone is actually working on re-working the Titler. It was announced this week and I believe they're taking new ideas.

Here's the blog post explaining the project: https://kdenlive.org/en/2019/06/revampi ... l-gsoc-19/

Here's the thread to provide new ideas to the developer for this specific project: https://phabricator.kde.org/T10747

I hope this helps!

Hello,
We have been discussing subtitling several times during our café (monthly chat for 3 years): kdenlive targets at being a good video editor, not a complete video studio. For subtitling, there are very good free software SRT editors, no need to reinvent the wheel
(same philosophy hold for animation tools, node composition, ...)
Cheers!

That is great news, thank you for your kind answer.

I understand.
You should also understand that there are users (like me) who want to add a title clip every time an important idea it is mentioned/said in a long video tutorial (English is not my mother tongue so in the first post I expressed that I want to add subtitles. Well no, I do not wanna do that with Kdenlive, cause there are very good software for that as you mentioned).
