I started up KDENlive 22.04.3 and promptly received an error message about two missing dependencies. The first said "Missing app: mediainfo, optional for technical clip information". The second said "Missing filter: avfilter.subtitles, required for subtitle feature. Install recommended". The first dependency was pretty easy to figure out. I installed media-video/mediainfo. The second dependency was much less obvious. I eventually figured the dependency for subtitle support is media-video/ffmpeg[libass]. It seems that the KDEnlive ebuild should include these dependencies, at least as USE flags, or that the ebuild should at least emit a message informing the user what packages are needed to enable this functionality -- especially since the one needed for subtitle support is so inconspicuous.
I also discovered that, while there was no error message emitted by KDEnlive upon starting, the ability to render a project to WebM-VP8 is disabled unless media-video/ffmpeg[vpx] is enabled.
I imagine that will be true for other codec support flags in ffmpeg as well?
