Basic Subtitling Support in Kdenlive

Videos in Kdenlive are edited by applying filters or effects, however, the application is largely limited in its ability to customize and edit subtitles. At present, subtitles are added as an effect, namely using the Subtitle effect. The effect uses an FFmpeg filter to burn the subtitle file onto the respective video.

Basic Subtitling Support in Kdenlive can be achieved by extending the functionality of the existing “Subtitle” filter thereby giving users more choices over subtitle customization.
