This is a simple bash script to convert ".srt" files to ".kdenlivetitle" files for use in Kdenlive.

How it works:

The script uses a ".kdenlivetitle" template file to create multiple title files containing the subtitle text from an ".srt" file.

The resulting title files will have the same parameters as the template (Font, Size, Color, Position ...).

Some titles have "_" in the name. these are blanks used for padding in the timeline so that the titles align with the subtitles, but can be removed later.

Features:

Change font color

You can input hex colors to change font color without modifing your template file.

• Empty: use template color
• Color 1: (#RRGGBB) changes font to color 1
• Color 2: (#RRGGBB) uses both colors for a gradient

Max characters per line

You can set the maximum number of characters per line for long subtitles.

• Empty: no limit

How to use:

• Download kdensubs.sh
• Add execute permission with chmod +x
• Put the subtitle and template files in the same directory as the script
• Run the script
• Drag and drop the resulting folder to Kdenlive bin
• Sort by name
• drag and drop titles into the timeline

you can optionally remove blank titles by sorting by date and removing titles with "_" in the name.
