Allow me to make a few comments. > 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. A Title Clip is already a text object. Any effect you add to a title clip **in the timeline** only applies to that instance; any effect applied to the title clip **in the project bin** affects all instances of that title clip in the timeline > 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.

I don't understand how this is any different from the way Title Clips work in Kdenlive: You create a Title Clip (your `text object`), edit the text, add effects to it in the project bin, and then copy and paste it how many times you want it. The Transform effect is applied to each instance of the title clip in the timeline without affecting other instances (except for the effects applied to it in the bin). You could also use Title Templates and Template Titles (two different concepts!). Please refer to the Kdenlive Manual (docs.kdenlive.org) for more information (the manual is searchable but also has a chapter about Title Clips). I am putting this report on hold for the time being. Please come back here with additional information or corrections if I misunderstood what you are trying to achieve. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
