[Kdenlive-devel] Some news

[jb]

Hi everyone.

There has been a LOT of activity these days in Kdenlive, so here is a quick 
mail to inform you about the recent changes / features added in svn by the 
developers (non exhaustive):

* Work on the titler (better alignment, unicode support, bug fixes)
* Several stability fixes, mostly related to clip move, delete,...
* Vertical timeline zoom (small buttons above the track numbers)
* Non real time playing in monitor (plays all frames so that you can see your 
effects properly)
* Template based title clips (1)
* and of course the usual bugfixes...

(1) Template clips:

Currently, to try template clips, you have to create a title clip with a text 
block containing the "%s" string. Save your title as a .kdenlivetitle file.
Then, from the Add Clip menu, do: "Add Template Title" and select your 
previously created title.

The interesting part is that now, the "description" field for the created clip 
will automatically be inserted in place of the "%s" string. That means you can 
have several title clips with the same template and just change the text from 
the "Description" column in 2 clicks.

You can of course modify the base template (.kdenlivetitle file) then do a 
"Reload Clip" on the template clips to have them all automatically updated!

Feedback welcome.

Regards
