Hello there,

I have a project that included some title elements. I managed this task with Gimp-created images at first. But the after-rendering-output Images showed some serious loss of quality. So i tried with Title-clips but with the same result. So here's (hopefully) all necessary information:

System:
- Ubuntu Studio 16.04


Kdenlive:
- Version 15.12.3
- KDE Framework 5.18.0
- Qt 5.5.1
-!!! Latest (04.08.2018) Windowsversion on Windows10 brought the same Issue.


Project:
- 1080p 25 frames (matching the source video)
- Gimp-image: 1920-1080


Render option:
- i tried many different options from the menu. lossless/high quality h.264/You name it.
-Exporting as png sequence looked as expected.


Result:
shown here. This examples are done with title-clips. Clips with my Gimp-Images make no difference to the problem. You see a fair amount of qualityloss especially with the red text in the rendered example. The png Export looks as it should be.

renderes lossless h.264 (then screencapped) https://www.eighty-music.com/verteiler/testtext-screencap.png


Because of the working export as png files i assume an issue with the video codec. But sadly i'm too much of a newbie to work out a proper solution. Any help is deeply appreciated.

cheers

Try with Kdenlive AppImage 17.12: https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/release/ ... 4.AppImage

I think you have a mismatch of KDE Framework and Qt versions related to the Kdenlive version.

Version 18.04 have some MLT issues.

I tried with the AppImage but had the same results.

Anyway, i had the chance to test the rendered video on a different machine (put the video on a USB and that into a TV) and there everything looks pretty. So it seems that not the export is the problem but my media-player (VLC)? Could that be? Don't the player use the same codec for playing as KDEnlive for exporting!?

What player or VLC codec adjustment is recommended to get a proper view?
