Great video.

Have you tried using the subtitle feature in kdenlive?
I've done a test as a benchmark.
Material used for said test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZwow_u9xlE

Downloaded with:
Code: [Select]
yt-dlp --write-subs --sub-langs en -o documentary.webm 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZwow_u9xlE'

It's unusable when the subtitle is imported.
Moving through the timeline (when the subtitle is imported) without even clicking (just hovering the mouse on it) the timeline freezes kdenlive. It does not crash but heavily loads for a very long time.

Converting the video to x264 and then using the proxy clips feature doesn't seem to help.

Conversion method:
Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -i documentary.webm -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 17 -x264opts fast_pskip=0 -c:a copy documentary-x264.mkv

Moving through the timeline without the subtitles imported even when done really fast works fine even without enabling the proxy clips feature.

Is this app limited? Sure.
But for those of us that want something simple and easy to use without all the bits to fuss with, this one is a nice option.
I use it mostly but must admit, I am moving towards kden

It has an advantage of not being a KDE product which is good for me.
