SUMMARY
Cannot add a title screen

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Kdenlive, start a new project
2.  Open Project. See "Add Title Clip" grayed out
3.  Also selecting from templates gives invalid tests

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a message saying "Cannot open <filepath to title>".

This works with 24.05 under Windows 11 but under Slackware Linux does not.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kdenlive should be able to create and write titles, and put them in projects and render them as part of the video file.

Comment 1 sombragris 2024-06-05 15:24:28 UTC
I got a workaround.

In Slackware, my Kdenlive depends on mlt (currently using 7.24). Now, stock Slackware mlt is not built against qt6 since they still ship Plasma 5.

Therefore after rebuilding mlt with these Cmake parameters added:

-DMOD_GLXANIMATE_QT6=ON \
-DMOD_QT6=ON \

instantly solved the issue. So maybe it should be mentioned that mlt would need to be compiled against Qt6?

I request therefore to change the bug status as appropriate by the assignee.
Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2024-06-06 07:11:35 UTC
Thanks for the feedback. I updated our docs to mention that MLT's Qt major version mus match Kdenlive's one.
