Created attachment 186011 [details] project file SUMMARY On Windows I like to put emojis in my title clips because it's a faster way to get graphics than making images in GIMP and then adding the images to Kdenlive. I noticed the emojis are invisible on Linux. I tried both creating the project file in Windows and then opening in Linux, and starting a new project in Linux and adding the emojis there, but it didn't work either way. I've tried a few different fonts. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create title clip 2. add emojis OBSERVED RESULT Emojis are invisible EXPECTED RESULT Emojis would hopefully be visible like they are on Windows SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Operating System: Kubuntu 25.10 (Technically this is Ubuntu and I ran apt install kubuntu-desktop^ on it) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.17.0-5-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.0 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
I also tried adding different background colors behind the text, but the emojis were still invisible
(In reply to Die4Ever from comment #1) > I also tried adding different background colors behind the text, but the > emojis were still invisible I am afraid this is a limitation of the title editor. It was developed independently from the rest of Kdenlive (like an add-on) and hasn't received a lot of TLC over the years.
Created attachment 186237 [details] Windows_emojis-in-title-clip This is interesting. When I load the project file “emojistest” on Windows 10 I see the emojis but only in black/white. But in the project bin the title clip title shows color emojis. To see the emojis in color in the title clip, I think this is only a render setting in the titler.
I can confirm that in 25.08.2 appimage on Pop!_OS, emojis are not being displayed in the title editor nor in the clip or project monitor. The clip title, however, does have emojis, and copying the text from the title editor into a Libre Office Writer shows the emojis.
