Description Paul Lutus 2021-10-10 17:43:24 UTC

SUMMARY

Still image clips cannot be extended beyond their default durations. If I choose a default duration, the clip cannot be made longer in the timeline. If I deliberately choose a much longer default duration and start over, in many cases the clip cannot be inserted into the timeline.

This problem applies to Kdenlive version 21.08 as well as the most recent nightly at the time of this report (version 21.11.70).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Choose a duration in the Kdenlive setup dialog.
2. Load a still image clip.
3. Try to extend the clip beyond the default value automatically assigned.

OBSERVED RESULT

The clip cannot be extended past the system-defined default duration. It can be given a shorter duration but not longer.


EXPECTED RESULT

In prior versions, an inserted clip could be given a longer or shorter duration (independent of the default duration) in the timeline editor.

When I shorten inserted image it compared to the default length of the inserted clip, everything is OK. When I extend this image clip, after closing Kdenlive and reopening kdenlive file, the length of image clip is shorter than I set. It is in default length. Reinstalling Kdenlive did not resolve the issue, and after reinstall some image clips scroll along the timeline. Kdenlive 21.08.3, MLT 7.1.0, Linux Mint 19.2, Xfce

Comment 2 kirkkis 2021-12-01 00:38:24 UTC

Unable to reproduce on 21.08.3 or 22.03.70 Nightly, is "still image clip" just an image? If I drag an image into my Project Bin and then on the timeline, I'm able to drag and lengthen or shorten it without problems, also opening and closing the project doesn't break anything.

What does "Choose a duration in the Kdenlive setup dialog" mean?

Please try with the current Kdenlive AppImage version 21.08.3a to see if there are any packaging issues:

or with the Kdenlive_Nightly_Appimage

I've been trying kdenlive-21.08.2-x86_64.appimage for a few days now and everything seems to be OK. Saved changes are reloaded OK when the application starts again. I will try the version 21.08.3a listed in the link.
