Clips Not Imported Properly and Cannot Be Viewed

Help
1

Hello everyone,

I am using Bazzite and have been using Kdenlive for a while and it’s been working great. I have always used the flatpak version. Yesterday, out of curiosity decided to try the appimage version and it couldn’t utilize hardware acceleration so I uninstalled it and continued with flatpak version.

Today I wanted to work on my project, opened it and none of the clips are being viewed. Sound plays but videos are not there. So I created another project and tried importing a clip and for some reason Kdenlive is asking me if I want to convert clip resolution to 4x2560. If I click yes, program crashes, if I click no, video doesn’t play. Please see image below. Tried reinstalling Kdenlive but didn’t make a difference.

Funny thing is, appimage version works and plays videos correctly, which strengthens my suspicions that appimage version is messing with some of the settings for the flatpak version. But I don’t know how to remove any files related to appimage version of Kdenlive.

I have tried setting all project and general settings to default but nothing worked so far. I’m not sure if it is related to my trying the appimage version of Kdenlive but that’s the only culprit that comes to mind. My system specs are as follows:

Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600

GPU: AMD RX 7600

Ram: 2x16gb DDR4 3200mhz

Samsung 970 Evo Plus nvme drive

Thanks for any answer in advance and let me know if I need to provide any other information.

Okay issue seems to be yesterday’s Kdenlive update. Seems like something is broken. Appimage version still works so I will keep using that until flatpak is fixed. Another user posted about the same issue and they fixed it by reverting to previous commit. So the issue is definitely the latest update.

Hi,

You noticed already, that it’s not appimage related problem, but has to do with the latest update. I can confirm this, since I haven’t used appimage or changed anything in the application settings, but after the update only audio is visible in the application. It shows resolutions and everything wrong and when trying to edit, change settings or pretty much anything, the app crashes immediately.

Looks like the Flathub people pushed a Kdenlive update using new dependencies that broke something. I recommend to stay away from the latest update available from Flathub.

In case you want/need to downgrade …
