Bug 450789

Hey...
I came here between 6-12 months ago ranting about Kdenlive its stability - it was impossible to me to start Kdenlive on several fresh installed distributions.... .

Now I gave it another try...a complete fresh installed Mint Cinnamon with latest Kdenlive... 🤗

The good point at first:
Kdenlive is starting now!!! Hoooray 👍🥳

But:
Its unusable. Its crashing so unbelieveable often.....really, its completely unbelieveable.
It crashes randomly when adding images or audio to my project, it crashes randomly when trying to move my added pieces to timeline, it crashes when playing with simpliest effects....(for sure with gpu accel playback turned on - we have 2022).

It crashes in every goddamn (im)possible situation!!!

WHY? Can you explain me please what exactly you are doing here? This should be no trolling, I just want to understand why you are not able to bring out a stable release people can work with over years? 

I watch this for a long time and...sorry, but its so strange what is going on here to me - you are working on one of the optical best videoeditors for Linux - but its completely unusable due to crashes?!I just want to understand why you are working on something, that is impossible to be used for productivity for such a long time?

And please dont say me now "but it works for a hand full of people" - watch this desaster on the web and look around how many people complain of exactly this - the complete lack of stability in Kdenlive. Have you never read all these comments on Yt under several Kdenlive-videos complaining about crashes and stability? Are you not interested what people are writing about their experience with Kdenlive?

I'd really like to help somehow by report specific bugs - but I assume there is a big, fat problem in general somewhere in Kdenlive or its development.

Cant you put ALL your efforts in making Kdenlive stable? Otherwise everything youre doing here is complete nonsense and waste of time in my opinion. You created such a nice tool - but its unusable due to tons of crashes and stability issues.

Test it. Test it better. Find testers. Find more testers. Hear what they say. Please. Please make Kdenlive MUCH MUCH more stable and fix all these annoying crashes! TEST IT BETTER, test it al all please.
