Before I start: I have a small example attached, so somebody might check my observation.
Now to begin: In my movies I frequently insert subtitles that slide in from the right side and fade out after some seconds. If I render the movie with shotcut, everything looks as expected.
No I want to be able to generate a movie from the commandline. So I examined and stored the XML file and started
Beside an error with some libmltsox library (BTW: this is also missing when you work with shotcut) my video file is created, but the subtitle does not slide in but instead appears instantaneously at its final position.
Maybe I have to add some additional params to the “melt” command, but unfortunately I don’t know what these might be.
Try melt-7 -verbose -progress2 project.mlt !
I also did have problems creating videos with melt-7 project.mlt because it did not accept all input files.
Maybe these two arguments provide the file opening process more needed time!
My taskmanager showed me these arguments used by Shotcut!
I think that these arguments only produce statistical output (verbose, progress). Of course I tried these as well before, but - as expected - with no success. LC_ALL=C or LC_NUMERIC=C is the solution.
