Screencast of the bug

Hello. I am trying to create a timelapse.

To do this I add a slideshow clip based on ~1500 pictures.

After adding the clip to the timeline, I am trying to speed it up.

Whenever I select a speed different from 100% the clip shrinks to 0. I still tried rendering the video but the speed effect is not applied.

I can reproduce this, however please note that the speed effect in its current state is very buggy. we are doing a timeline refactoring that will solve all the problems caused by this effect.

Perhaps you could as a workaround reduce the speed duration to 1 frame that way you'll get the desired result?

Thank you farid for acknowledging the issue.

I am already creating the Slideshow clip with each frames 00:00:00:01 long. However, that is the limit and I need to use the speed effect if I want to go lower.

In the meantime I'll just Render the Slideshow clip and then re-encode the video and apply the speed effect (which works on a simple video clip).

Looking forward to the new update you mention.

Cheers

Maybe for something simple it works but careful using that effect since it causes problems like this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369585
