Oh, I see.

Hmm.. I see that I misunderstood a little bit what you mean. 

Actually, speaking of gimp, I am thinking about how to make the text generator 
a little more exciting. The problem is, generating text with fancy effects is 
not an easy thing to do and what I did in the beginning was generating 
effects with gimp and then overlay the images renderd by gimp onto the video.
That was not very fast, but looked very good.
Can you controll gimp from within kdenlive, or is there an equivalent in KDE 
world?

Cheers, Rolf
