Description Unknown 2016-03-05 20:39:37 UTC

When you insert a title clip into the timeline, the affine transition is automatically put below it. With the composite tracks now working properly (and I don't see any issues anymore in quality between the title clips with composite tracks vs title clips with affine transition) do the title clips need to have the Affine transition added by default?

Consider removing automatic insertion of Affine transition when inserting a title clip. Main reason being it doesn't seem to behave normally with other clips. Might be a little confusing to the user.

Reproducible: Always




Suggested while using Kdenlive latest git master build, Kubuntu 15.10 x64, KDE Frameworks 15.18.0 via kubuntu backports ppa.

I beg to differ: several distributions still distribute the unfixed frei0r package, the one with the ugly alpha bug. Until this is resolved I strongly recommend against disabling this existing and known-to-work feature in Kdenlive.

Anyway, I would suggest to not remove this feature, but instead let it default to off when the frei0r alpha bug fix has finally been delivered to users.

Wegerf, thanks for the info. In that case, I agree. I guess I'll bring this up again at a later time. Closing this big for now.
