Summary: [Freature Request] Support freehand drawing
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version First unspecified

Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
This feature request may be related to issue #401980.
I would like to use Kdenlive as an open-source alternative to Kinovea, which is
currently only available on Windows. For this use case, annotation and drawing
tools directly inside the video editor would be extremely valuable.
FEATURE REQUEST: Drawing / Annotation Tools
I propose adding support for a Drawing (Annotation) Toolbar in Kdenlive that
allows users to draw and annotate directly on video content.
In addition, Kdenlive could provide a Drawing / Annotation Clip (or Effect)
that can be dragged and dropped onto the timeline, similar to images or
generators. This clip would essentially be a transparent picture.
FUNCTIONALITY
Drawing / Annotation Clip:
- A transparent picture that can be placed within the timeline
- Duration can be adjusted in the timeline like any other clip (by trimming the
clip edges)
- Can be animated or transitioned using existing effects (fade-in, fade-out,
opacity, etc.)
- Can be stacked above video clips to act as an overlay
Drawing / Annotation Toolbar:
- new toolbar to access tools, e.g. Freehand Pencil / Brush, Line, Arrow,
Rectangle, Square, Circle, Ellipse, Text tool, ...
- some default values for element properties (see below)
- allows users to draw within any picture or video
Configurable Properties:
For each drawing element properties should be configurable:
- color
- fill color
- Font settings (for text)
- Default sizes and styles
Use Case
Such functionality would make Kdenlive a strong cross-platform alternative to
Kinovea and similar annotation-focused tool. So this feature would enable:
- Sports analysis
- Technical demonstrations
- Educational videos
- Tutorials and explanations requiring visual annotations
