We just released the first bugfix version for the 20.04 Kdenlive version. Despite our continued work, many issues were still affecting the 20.04.0 version. A lot of work has been done to fix crashes and other annoying issues, so the 20.04.1 version should be much more reliable and stable. We have a long list of fixed issues.

Windows: Motion Tracking effect integrated.

AppImage: Fix crash on older systems (remove OpenCV sse4 dependency)

Most notably, we have now fixed:

Crash fixes:

  • Disable loading of .mlt playlists with profile not equal to project profile (caused crash)
  • Fix possible crash on subclip thumbnail creation
  • Fix crash trying to move timeline clip to another track when bin clip had some effects
  • Fix crash creating DVD chapters
  • Fix playlist profile incorrectly detected, leading to crashes when seeking in timeline

  • Fix timeline preview not invalidated on hide track
  • Proxy clips: fix vaapi_h264 profile and ensure we keep the stream order
  • Use safer QSaveFile class to ensure our document is not corrupted on disk full
  • Fix rubber selection moving with scolling
  • Fix image rendering (add %05d suffix)
  • Fix timeline preview was incorrectly disabled
  • Fix MLT 6.20 avformat slideshows not recognized on onpening (convert to standard qimage)
  • Fix template title clips in timeline resetting duration on project re-open
  • Fix paste clips/compositions sometimes not working or pasting on wrong track/position
