Issue with transition file not loading (luma01.pgm in the case of bar horizontal) now occurs with composition wipe transitions as well. In the list of project files luma01.pgm appears with no path. kdenlive unable to find file on project reload. Requires either a manual search (file doesn't exist so this fails) or deleting the clip as options. Deleting the clip results in the transition in question reverting to a wipe with dissolve.

Using Tumbleweed updated to today, kdenlive 23.08.04
@Gerry: I guess you have enough frames at the beginning of in the clips to create the mix ? Could you please test with the latest development Appimage (only for testing this bug), open the project file and see if the issue is fixed ? 24.02.0 RC Appimage available here: https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/unstable/kdenlive-24.02.0-RC-x86_64.AppImage.mirrorlist If the bug is still there, sharing your project file would help Created attachment 165515 [details]
using appImage
Thank you for responding so quickly. The AppImage was a bit unhappy with my project so I took the two basic files I am trying to transition and created a new project with no better success. FWIW the header (beginning) has been used many times before. Occasionally the problem has arisen and one random fix was to trim a tiny bit off the new file and "close all gaps (which of course might be cargo culture).
The new piece of information that might or might not be relevant is the new version didn't like the header file (intro.mp4)

about intro.mp4
this message came up with the new version of kdenlive - which I have not see before
and finally if you want the entire project file that is OK, I can whack it on to Google drive I cannot reproduce, so would help if you could share the simplest possible project file (just the .kdenlive project file should be enough) You should have received an email link So I had a quick look at your project file and it seems that Kdenlive behaves correctly. To create a Mix transition between 2 clips, you need to have at least a few cropped frames in one of the clips to create the transition... so you should resize the end of your intro clip to make it a bit shorter (or resize the start of the second clip to crop a few frames), then the mix should work... that works, thank you I reproduce this in Kdenlive 25.08.0 from Flatpak, on Linux. Sample project: https://dl.illwieckz.net/b/kdenlive/bugs/mix-bug/20250919.kdenlive-mix-bug.tar.xz Each clip is 40s long, in fact two copies of the same clip is used. Kdenlive refuses to mix them with the said error message. |
