Hi Bernd, thank for the info. 

I didn't know that you can do individual/group effects, that's nice but I don't
think that does resolve the issue.

The issue wasn't specifically only about the effects you can add to the title
clip but rather being able to change the textual content inside of it easily
without unexpected behaviour (at least for me).

Let's say I have this sentence: `Lorem ipsum odor amet` in a video. And I want
to display each word, word-by-word in the video.

I would, in kdenlive, have to create one title clip in the project bin, add the
effects to it (everything's fine up until now) and then copy/paste it 4 times
and modify the content like so:

* First one would be `Lorem`
* Second would be `ipsum`
...
* Fifth one would be `amet`

And I would then have to import all of them to the video as a group or one by
one. If I, let's say, copy the last title clip in the timeline and paste it in
the timeline (so now the 6th title clip) and change the textual content, it
would change the content for 5 *and* 6.

This is an insane time sink when there's 1000+ words and not to mention how
easy it is to mess up the content of another referenced title clip.

Now let's say I'm using premiere. I would right-click the video and press add
text, or whatever, the entry-point doesn't matter.

Afterwards I would write `Lorem`, press enter to finalize the object creation,
add effects and I'd be done for the first instance. After that I would
copy/paste it from the timeline directly into the timeline 4 more times and
just double click the timeline and change the textual content. If I want to add
a 6th word, I would just copy/paste the 5th word in the timeline and modify the
textual content. The 5th word won't change in the end video.

The project bin would be clean as I don't have to add 1000+ words in it. Also I
would also save time by not having to open a new window, select the title clip
element, change the text there and press save.

If you need more info, there's a link I've posted in the opening comment which
shows how fast (and easy) it is in premiere to achieve this.
