Description George 2017-10-16 14:45:55 UTC

Very similar to bug 354940.  If I edit a video, then save the project and change the video profile (example: from 30 FPS to 60 FPS) the timing in the video is completely wrong.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to reproduce:
* import any video file
* Add the video to the timeline, changing the start and end times, splitting the clip in the middle, (normal editing operations)
* Change video profile from 30 FPS to 60 FPS or vice versa
* Video timings are now wrong

Also, sometimes while attempting to re-edit the clips in the project the clips disappear, jump to the wrong location, or become "ghost clips" which exist but cannot be selected.

I can confirm the bug, has happened to me since always. Perhaps the option to switch a project profile should be disabled, right now it's very easy to corrupt a full project just by switching profile.

It seems that this report is related to very old unmaintained version. A lot changed since then, especially the timeline got a complete rewrite and it is likely that this has been fixed.
Feel free to reopen this bug or create a new report if this is still happening with the latest version (https://kdenlive.org/en/download/)
