I see that crashing bug was removed in 15.04.1 . Please take that code and implement it to 16.xx hi i want to vote here.. +1 vote Some progress so far? Will it be ported? When? thx to all programmers :) (In reply to Eckard Gerlach from comment #3) > Some progress so far? Will it be ported? When? > > thx to all programmers :) In case you don't know currently all efforts are focused on the refactoring process[1], and having only two part-time active devs is not helping to make this faster. [1] https://kdenlive.org/2017/06/kdenlive-refactoring-preview-and-news/ Hello, Sorry for replying so late, it took me several trials to figure out what was going wrong… Actually the effect disappeared from MLT since ca0fc8d7b7d93cfde005d4cc76fbf0c5a913084a (March 2016) to fix a long standing crash with titles in Qt5 with multithreading: effects haven't been ported to the new drawing routine. (Note: it then should be available in 15.08 and 15.12?!) But it appears that the old code was kept, and is still accessible if you add a "compatibility" property to your text XML element. So before any change occurs (I'm quite slow to code anything), a temporary workaround to get the typewriter effect is to: - open your .kdenlive file with a text editor - find your title text string; it is contained in an encoded XML tag: <content [many properties]>Your text…</content> - anywhere in the properties (eg just before ">Your text") add the following properties: compatibility="1" typewriter="0;25" with 0 being the start frame of the typewriter effect, and 25 the interval (1 sec per character on a 25fps project) - note that 'compatibility' titles use the old rendering code, that crashes all the time with multithreading: set MLT threads to 1 in Kdenlive preference Good luck :) Thx a lot. Sorry for my late reaction, but I didn't know that you answered. I need the functionality within kdenlive, so I prefer installing last version with typwriter, eg. 15.04.2. I now try to get that "old" version. Perhaps you can tell me where and how to get it. (In reply to Eckard Gerlach from comment #6) > Thx a lot.

The typewriter effect is coming back: https://kdenlive.org/2017/09/randa-news-release-update/ When will be there a first linux version with typwriter? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 351168 *** |
