Bug ID: 497724
Summary: [Feature Request] Add text type of object (different
from title clips)
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: 24.12.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface & Miscellaneous
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
QUICK SUMMARY
Title clips are too verbose, slows workflow and creates really big project bins
when there's a lots of dynamic text (overlaid subtitles) with changing
contents, effects, positions.
Add a text object, which similar to other editors, allow you to copy/paste text
objects and changing them, without affecting other instances of it.
Example of having a text object with effects and can copy/paste:

SUMMARY
I've tried editing a clip a little bit ago and found one part of kdenlive which
is a pretty big problem for me regarding text in-clips.
Essentially the only way to add text to a clip is to create a title clip which
is a unique object in the whole project.
When I do edit clips I generally add text/titles over the videos and have to
change it a LOT (sometimes I even highlight words/parts of words).
This would then force me to create a title clip in the project bin, copy it who
knows how many times, paste it in the timeline and then edit one at a time. If
I by any chance I copy one and paste it a little bit later (as in to the right)
in the timeline and edit the text, it affects the initial element.
In other editors I did have the experience of just creating a `text object`,
editing the text and putting effects. I could then copy/paste it how many times
without an issue. I could also transform it without any worries of affecting
other instances.
