This needs much more testing, as well as valgrind or something similar during unit testing. In my several decades of experience that is a typical sign of arbitrary memory corruption. Kdenlive crashes often, without being reproducible. V5 is especially prone, but some effects also simply disappear from V4, typically the first few ones, while others stay. Loading a saved project causes lots of fade in/fade out effects to simply disappear, regardless of sequence. What about unit testing such things, or is this not considered to be core functionality? And the sequence still doesn’t work properly in the other sequence. Saving and … loading, only to have parts of the project missing again. Deleting in one sequence and adding the sequence again gives the proper length, but now the newly added range is simply black.

When the length of a sequence changes, such as adding more content, any sequence placed in another sequence behaves odd: the additional content is missing, even when increasing its duration. Moving sequences to higher video tracks seem to work – while crossing fingers. When adding sequences with multiple video tracks to the “main” sequence, they don’t render correctly with tracks simply missing or not correctly overlaid while the sequence is placed on the bottom-most video track.

Pressing “home” immediately crashes kdenlive. Kdenlive appimage (the flatpak doesn’t even correctly seem to integrate with the desktop)Īfter loading the project with multiple sequences, all but the last used sequence have their timeline cursors (for lack of a better word) “somewhere” way beyond the last clip. It is still in the same dire need of unit testing as before and the timeline refactoring has not improved it a iota. On the positive side, nothing has changed in the past 18 months or so where I kept my fingers off of kdenlive. That’s especially bad in combination with loading not working correctly. And the nightlies are even worse, they on top lack the rendering binary, so no rendering possible. This is a really bad release, crashing on me all the time and neither correctly loading its own properly saved projects, nor recovering its own projects correctly.
