Could not generate title (even with newer Vidiot releases)
I must report the following bug I faced using Vidiot v.0.3.37 32bit on MS Windows, here's the step to reproduce it: Add a Sequence, use "Add title" command (label not translated yet, btw) put something on "Title text" and... You get the following error: Could not generate title. Details: DrawError (460) NonconformingDrawingPrimitiveDefinition `,' @ error/draw.c/RenderMVGContent/4474 (The bug is still there in v.0.3.38 64bit as well) UPDATE: The bug still persist in v.1.1.0 and in v.2.1.0 (64bit)...

Sadly, I have to inform you the problem still persist on v. (1.1.0 and) 2.1.0. The only difference I noted is the final number on error advice details (was 4474) now is 4550. I tested the last Vidiot release(s) in 3 different PC (two laptops and a desktop) getting the same error all the times, so... I'm sorry but I have to ask you to re-open the bug I reported
Even audio editors seem to favor arrowheads,
Do not activate Menu Bar when pressing Alt
Values entered in the Speed/Volume/Balance Text Field are not applied after pressing Enter/Return
I noticed playback stops when restoring or maximizing the window. And after restore I noticed a graphical glitch in the timeline: But I guess this is a new issue and not related.
Home/End Hotkeys do not work during playback
Add arrowhead at the top of the playhead pointing downwards | make playhead bolder
Improved vertical scrolling speed when using the mouse wheel to scroll the timeline.
timeline pan feature using hotkey Alt + MMB up/down
[r3216]
Fixed [#384]: Both Alt and Shift can be used in combination with the mouse wheel to trigger horizontal scrolling in the timeline.
Next version of Vidiot, both Shift and Alt can be used for the horizontal scrolling.
Yes, I'd like to be able to use the mouse wheel to use the horizontal scrolling as well. I see it seems to work with shift and mouse wheel but as I mentioned this is not standard. (alt + mouse wheel is used by most/all video editors)
previewing effects has high cpu usage [crash]
[r3215]
Fixed [#383]: Crash when clicking 'preview transition' button for transition at begin of timeline.
timeline pan feature using hotkey Alt + MMB up/down
Ah, now I (think I) understand. You'd like to be able to use the mouse wheel to use the horizontal scrolling as well? Is this correct? That actually should work, using Shift (using the Alt key was difficult, I remember, because when I made this the Alt key was default-mapped onto showing the Menu bar options highlights). Anyway, the use of Shift also doesn't work, so I'll look into it anyway :-)
Thanks for reporting this! I can't fix the CPU usage, the transitions are - I'm afraid - rather CPU hungry. However, the crash I can fix. So, thanks for reporting this. Problem was the previewing of a transition that is at time '0' in the timeline. Similarly, the preview of a transition at the end of the timeline had issues as well. Both of these will be solved in the next release.
Sorry Eric, for my messy feature request / bug report. I think pan is not the correct term. What I want is to move the horizontal bar in the time line to the right when holding down alt-key and scrolling down and move the horizontal bar to the left when when holding down alt-key and scrolling up. This is the standard behavior in all other video editors I have tested.
I think I'm misunderstanding the question. You can zoom in/out (horizontally) via CTRL+Mouse wheel. You can pan horizontally via pressing and holding the right mouse button, then moving left/right. Do you mean a different type of panning? Or do you mean 'I prefer this to be done via a different mouse/key binding'?
this is how it works in other apps: https://i.postimg.cc/VstTcZYD/2025-08-16-11h10-08.gif https://i.postimg.cc/KzK3kg9D/2025-08-16-11h45-55.gif in vidiot this is not the case: https://i.postimg.cc/kGhDsMBv/2025-08-16-11h18-32.gif

Have you tried using the RIght mouse button already. Pressing that and then moving the mouse should allow timeline navigation.
I hope you understand what I am asking for, I noticed Alt+MMB up/down already does what I want but only for the vertical bar instead of the horizontal bar what I am used to and what other programs use.
I hope you understand what I am asking for, I noticed Alt+MMB up/down already does what I want but only for the vertical bar instead of the horizontal bar like in other programs.
I hope you understand what I am asking for, I noticed there is a function called Scroll Left / Right to move the horizontal bar. I would like to have Scroll Left mapped to Alt + MMB Up and Scroll Right to Alt + MMB Down.

Video thumbnail/audio peaks disappear when moving editing sliders too fast
Make delete (and shift) also work during playback.
Thumbnail not updated after 'begin trim'.

Add option to set modified date/time of generated output
After selecting 'freeze video' there's no option to undo this anymore.

Could not generate title
Added logging [r3212] so that I have more information next time. Made some fixes to title handling, but unsure if this resolves the issue.
