Bug ID: 514838
Summary: Having a .srt file in the project folder burns
subtitles despite having hidden the subtitle track
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED

what it looks like while editing in kdenlive where only styled subtitles are
visible, vs what it look after video is rendered while having a srt file in the
project folder
SUMMARY
If a .srt is kept in the project folder, even when subtitles are not embedded
or the subtitle track is hidden, the subtitles are burnt into the rendered
file. The kdenlive project monitor doesn't show them, so it can only be seen
after rendering the video.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new project.
2. Add subtitles (you can use speech recognition).
3. Export subtitles to a .srt file > save the file to project folder.
4. Mark subtitle track as hidden.
5. Render video.
OBSERVED RESULT
Subtitles are embedded into the rendered video (with the default style) even
when the subtitle track is hidden. The default subtitles are not visible while
editing in kdenlive, only after rendering they are visible.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only the subtitles visible while editing are embedded in the rendered video.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 22H2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was reproduced on the standalone 25.08.0 version and the installed 25.12.0
version.
For speech recognition the Turbo Whisper model has been used.
If the subtitle track is not hidden, and let's say subtitle styles are edited
so they don't look just like the default subtitles (manage subtitles > styles
tab > edit > change position, color, font, etc.) then both subtitles will show
in the rendered video (styled from the .ass file, plus the default style from
the .srt file).
Workaround:
Remove .srt file from the project folder before rendering.
