Did you consider to make a filter_kdenlivetitle that would do keyword substitution on text within kdenlivetitle XML? That way one could do all the formatting and positioning visually using the Kdenlive titler. Then, save title to a file and pass the filename to the filter. Perhaps Kdenlive can also be enhanced to let you drag-n-drop a title in its Project tree to a special widget in the Effect panel (there are other uses for this capability). -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of agility.
