If this forum allows posting files, I'll post both the file that looks good in Inkscape but bad in OpenShot (bug.svg) and the file that looks bad in Inkscape but actually works in OpenShot (cur.svg). I understand that Inkscape is quirky, so I won't be upset if no one can help. I met my deadline, so as I relaxed I thought I'd post a problem report here. Since I have a hard deadline tomorrow, I simply iterated moving the text way to the right until OpenShot shows it approximately correct. I have no idea what to do to fix this problem. So I changed it back to left then checked it in OpenShot again and it was still too far to the left.

The only different operation I did today that I remember was to change the text alignment from left to center. I do not have access to any other program that can display SVG files correctly (Firefox always shows them wrong). The title page looked perfect in Inkscape, but horrible in OpenShot. All the background stuff is in a locked layer so I can't mess it up when I add text on top.įor a few days I had no problems I could edit text into the pane, then whenever I added the resulting SVG title page to OpenShot (a video editor), it all worked perfectly (once I had created a default Inkscape profile that specified using pixels in about 4 places so I wouldn't have a mixture of units-one of Inkscape's quirks).īut now, today, suddenly, I must have done something wrong without noticing, and when I created a perfect looking title page, the text I added was displayed way to the left of where it should be.

I have a base SVG file that has a pane for text that I change to create individual title pages. I currently use Inkscape to create title pages for videos.
