Hope this helps.

It is good, and I sometimes drink it myself, but remember to be careful if drinking hot water outside in autumn or early winter.

If a leaf falls from a tree and lands in your cup, you'll have discovered Tea - and last time that happened, some folk from a tiny island ended up with an empire covering half the planet.

If you love to drink coffee, but don't like to eat coffee beans directly as a food, you actually like hot water more than you like coffee.

Though Brexit is definitely part of it, this is the whole Tory austerity programme from the Tory/Libdem coalition onwards.

Tory means Tory.

Their repeated claim that their party is good for the economy, unlike "magic money tree looney lefty liberals", is about as believable as the scrawny kid who used to come in the pub and tell everyone "he could kill a tiger with one punch, and he'd got SAS training off of his dad, who was also a ninja".

Make the car cost £400 more, once, when it's bought first hand. That will cover any costs for the lifetime of the vehicle. There you go, chuck the subscription in the sea.

You can fix both of those problems in the same evening :)

I was initially wondering what a random jungle (I don't know the specific subgenre) track had to do with Star Trek, until I realised the main sample (and song title) was Spock from Amok Time, before his "wedding fight".

Before everyone gets in a panic from reading the headline, the bug is from ~2014 - 2015ish, so it's almost 10 years ago now.

I wondered about that - I sort of assumed it was either a cat hater who'd accidentally subscribed "why do these things keep popping up in my feed?", or someone with impossibly high standards for what a cat is "No, that's just not quite cat enough. That's a down vote from me".

A bot is probably a more likely explanation.

I can't see them from Jerboa.

[Edit] Though I can long-press on the broken image and "Open Link" and then see it.

The other reason for not liking Snaps is badly implemented sandboxing. Unless they've fixed it more recently, the Snap version of a program cannot see your USB stick, your printer, your scanner, ½ of your fonts, your 2nd internal hard drive, your custom plugins etc and it can't connect to other software also installed on the computer.

There's (to my knowledge) not currently an easy system to grant access to these things - whereas Flatpak, for instance, has Flatseal, which let's you alter the permissions of all your Flatpak programs.

Perhaps if they'd launched Snaps with an android-like "would you like to give this program access to..." sort of thing, there'd be less of a problem.

There is of course a chance this has all been fixed since - but I've certainly not heard of it happening.

You're probably aware already, but others reading this might be interested that you can access the same format conversion with Handbrake and WinFF if you prefer GUI tools. Remember your settings once and save them as a preset.

Nicely done :)

Not the easiest thing to find, but there is a site for templates and stuff here: kdenlive templates.

There's not loads on it, and quality may vary. Note that quite a few of these are more like snippets of a project to copy and paste in, so might take a bit of fiddling to get running, compared to just picking "swooshy title #3" and putting your own text in it - but in some form it exists at least :)

I get what you mean - it's quite "roll your own" rather than "pre-made" - and the same for quite a few of the effects and motion settings.

Note that you can save template versions of effects or motion settings if you need, so after you've used it a while, you might have a reasonable library of things you need - but you're right, there's a bit of a lack of "drop in, ready to go", particularly for quick titles.

Something like a "jiggly funky colourful text shaking about" effect can be a day's work, rather than a 2 minute "write your own text with this pre-made sequence".

Just in case they're useful, there are a set of downloadable templates Kdenlive downloadable titles here, but I'm not sure it's quite going to cover what you're after - but worth a browse in case.

Very interested to hear about Glaxnimate - I'd not heard of that one and will definitely have a look - thanks for bringing it to our attention :)

It might be quite hard to give full tutorials - I suppose it depends a little on what you're trying to do - and are your titles intro sequences or other onscreen graphics etc?

The titler within Kdenlive is perfectly functional for static text/shape work, but you may find it easier to produce things externally - I certainly found myself producing the majority of titles in Inkscape - both onscreen graphics and intro pages etc. Basic stuff, i just put the full page in, faded in and out as appropriate. Kdenlive will take SVG and PNG, so you've got transparency for different layers of title component.

For bits with moving/sliding/fading components (like in an interview, a coloured bar slides onto the screen in the bottom left, then the person's name fades in, then their position/workplace fades in, then it all fades out together) - I'd do those with individual components in Inkscape, imported as separate svg files and layered up in Kdenlive, then individually positioned, cut and faded in/out as separate clips (My timelines are normally 8-10 tracks high).

More complex motion graphic work I used to render out in Blender, but I think these days I'd probably use Natron for some of it.

Also, copy and paste as much as possible - work with reusable templates where you can.

If you've got a better idea of what sort of thing you're aiming for (maybe an example of what you want to (re)create?) - I might be able to offer a few pointers at least :)

Hahaha! That's brilliant. I honestly never would have found it - I think I'm so conditioned to just see that map as "Europe and the continents next to it" (or "Crusader Kings II Background"), that my brain wouldn't allow me to abstract the image :)

Haha, yes, circling Europe, Asia and Africa isn't helping much - I already knew that bit :)

Which way is the face facing? Where's the eyes and mouth etc?

For your first time, either is definitely good enough. They're both pretty full featured, and they both follow "normal" editing conventions - so if you want/need to use a different program in future, you already know how to use 90% of it, you're just looking for where the buttons are. It's all very transferable learning.

As mentioned by another reply, there's currently a lack of hardware acceleration for timeline playback in Kdenlive which means if you're really stacking the effects up, you won't be able to play back in the timeline at full frame rate until you pre-render. It won't make any difference in simple edits.
