==Τίτλοι==

ΟΙ τίτλοι είναι στοιχεία κειμένου που μπορούν να προστεθούν στη γραμμή του χρόνου και που εμφανίζονται επάνω από τα υπόλοιπα κλιπ. Οι τίτλοι δημιουργούνται [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Projects and Files/Project Tree|Καλάθι έργου]] κι ύστερα τραβιούνται στη γραμμή του χρόνου όπως κάθε κλιπ εικόνας.

If you want titles to overlay other footage, you put title clips on video track 1 and have the other footage on video track 2.  You also need to retain the affine transition that is automatically added to the title clips if you want the footage visible underneath.

To create a title, choose <menuchoice>Add Title Clip</menuchoice> from the [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Project_Menu|Project Menu]] or from the Right-Click menu in the [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Projects_and_Files/Project_Tree|Project Bin]]

=== How to Save a Title ===

Open the title in the [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Projects_and_Files/Project_Tree|Project Bin]] by double-clicking it or right-click then choose <menuchoice>Clip Properties</menuchoice>.

Choose a save location within your project.

The titles are saved as <tt>.kdenlivetitle</tt> type documents.

=== How to Load a Title ===

Choose <menuchoice>Add Title Clip</menuchoice> from the '''Add Clip''' drop down (see picture)

[[File:Add clip drop down.png|center|100px]]

Click the '''Open Document''' button on the Title Clip editor toolbar or choose '''Open document''' from the <menuchoice>>></menuchoice> menu and load up a title saved earlier.

=== How to edit an existing title ===

Right-click the title clip in the Project Tree and select <menuchoice>Clip properties</menuchoice>.

=== Template Titles - User-Defined ===

''Template Titles'' allow you to create a template for other titles in your project. You create the template title with the settings that all the titles in the project should have and then base subsequent titles on the template. If you decide to change the look of your titles, you only need change the template title and the titles based on this template will automatically update to reflect any formatting changes you made to the template title.

'''To create a template title'''

Choose <menuchoice>Add Title Clip</menuchoice> from the <menuchoice>Add Clip</menuchoice> drop down and create a title with the text ''%s'' in it and formatted how you desire it. Save this title as described above.

[[File:Template_title1.png|center|250px]]

'''To use the template title'''

Choose <menuchoice>Add Template Title</menuchoice> from the <menuchoice>Add Clip</menuchoice> drop down and choose the title with the ''%s'' in it that you just saved.

Right-click this clip in the Project Tree and select <menuchoice>Clip Properties</menuchoice>,

[[File:Title_clip_properties.png|center|200px]]

Enter the text that this title should display into the text field in the dialog that appears.

[[File:Title_template2.png|center|250px]]

Drag the title to the timeline.

The ''%s'' in the template will be replaced with the text that you enter in the <menuchoice>Clip Properties -> Text</menuchoice>.

[[File:Title_template3.png|400px]]

A known issue with template titles is that text centering does not work correctly for text replacing the %s -  see [http://kdenlive.org/forum/title-template-aligning-doesnt-work this] forum post.

=== Template Titles - Built In ===

'''Kdenlive''' has some built-in title templates that can be accessed from the <menuchoice>Template</menuchoice> drop-down list found on the bottom of the '''Title Clip''' window - see below.

[[File:Kdenlive_Template_Title1.png|700px]]

To install more built-in title templates choose [[Kdenlive/Manual/Settings_Menu/Download_New_Title_Templates|Download New Title Templates]] from the <menuchoice>Settings</menuchoice> menu.

The .kdenlivetitle files that supply these templates are installed to /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdenlive/titles/

=== Import an Image into the title ===

On the Toolbar overflow menu ('''>>''') shown in the picture below, the second menu item - (labeled only with <keycap>Alt + I</keycap> in ver 0.9.2 - fixed in ver 0.9.4) - is the '''Add Image''' Button. Selecting this brings up a file chooser where you can choose an image to be inserted into your title.

=== Draw Rectangle Toolbar Item ===

The 1st menu item shown in the picture above - (labeled only with <keycap>Alt + R</keycap> in ver 0.9.2 - fixed in ver 0.9.4) - is the '''Add Rectangle''' button. After selecting this, drag the mouse to draw a rectangle. Use the rectangle toolbar (shown below) to change the fill color, border color and border width of the rectangle.

[[File:Kdenlive_Alt-R_title_menu.png]]

The rectangles can be placed behind text by selecting them and the changing the Z-index (top right corner) to a lower value.

=== To make the title scroll vertically ===

Put a long title onto the title window. Zoom out so you can see it all. The text should run off the top (or bottom) of the viewable area.

Select the <menuchoice>Animation</menuchoice> tab and click <menuchoice>Edit start</menuchoice>. Now drag the start rectangle to above the viewable area.

Select <menuchoice>Edit end</menuchoice> and drag the end rectangle to below the viewable area.

Click <menuchoice>OK</menuchoice> and preview the scrolling title.

[[File:Scrolling titles.png]]

The  text in the above title scrolls up the screen. It is as if the camera starts on the "start rectangle" and then pans down to the "end rectangle"

To make the text scroll faster, change the duration field highlighted in red in the image above to a smaller value. To make the text scroll slower, change the duration to a larger value.

Note: changing the length of the title clip on the timeline does not change the scrolling speed. If the length of the clip on the timeline is longer than the duration specified in the title editor, the titles will pause on the screen between the time the title's duration expires until the end of the clip.

If the length of the clip on the timeline is shorter than the duration specified in the title editor, the scrolling will not complete before the title clip finishes.

Note: the above description of title behaviour with respect to duration only applies to titles that don't get edited after they have been placed on the timeline. If you expand the length of a title clip on the timeline and then edit the title (by double-clicking it in the Project Tree), its apparent duration will become the length that it currently has on the timeline (i.e., the scrolling will not pause at the end anymore) but the duration displayed in the title editor will not have changed.

=== To make the title scroll Horizontally ===

Use the instructions for vertical scrolling - just put the start and stop rectangles off to the sides of the screen rather than the top and bottom

=== How to fade titles in and/or out ===

To make titles fade in and out, you modify the transition which gets automatically added between the title and the track below.  The modifications consist of adding keyframes into the transition and adjusting the opacity of the transitions at these keyframes. In version 0.9.3 it is an [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Transitions/Affine|affine]] transition that is automatically added between the title and the track below. In ver 0.9.2 it is  a [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Transitions/Composite|composite]] transition.

In the image below we have four keyframes (labeled 1 to 4). The first keyframe is the one currently displayed and we can see that the opacity on this keyframe is zero. The opacity at keyframes 2 and 3 is 100%. The opacity at the 4th keyframe is zero percent. The overall effect is that the title fades in between keyframe 1 and keyframe 2. And then it fades out between keyframe 3 and keyframe 4 .

=== How to fade in more than one title sequentially ===

To create a title sequence like this ...

you put three titles on three different tracks but you make all three affine transitions go to the same empty video track (instead of the tracks directly below them, which is the default). See timeline screenshot below.

=== FAQ ===

Q: How to duplicate a title clip to modify it slightly.

A:  You can save a copy of the title (see [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Titles#How_to_Save_a_Title|How to Save a Title]]) and then create a new title based on that saved version as described  [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Titles#How_to_Load_a_Title|above]], Or you could use the  [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Titles#Template_Titles_-_User_Defined|template titles]] functionality to base the two slightly different titles on the one template.
