Thanks for your report!
Can you please tell us how you installed Kdenlive (eg. Appimage, PPA, Flatpak, Snap)? 
(In case you don't know this info, you can go to kdenlive menu Help > Copy Debug Information and paste the text here)
Also please try whether this is happening with the offical Appimage too (Download the latest version here https://kdenlive.org/download/)?

Remember set the status of this report back to REPORTED ones you provided the requested information.
Comment 2 r4jk3 2022-12-18 23:50:06 UTC
Hi Julius 

I'm glad i can contribute somehow, specially for my favorite software :)

I have updated it via PPA.
A side note: i have access to effects when i try to add them from the "Timeline Context Menu" ( that's what i'm currently using as a workaround ).

Also as you suggested I have just downloaded latest AppImage, and i can confirm that that one works just fine without problems > effects are visible. So now seems like only PPA version has this issue.

Here is copied debug log:

I just now realized that its not only effects tab having blank screen problem, but also composition has the same issue as well.

Please checkout this video footage (PPA version):

Hello,

I also have this same problem. I've installed from the Debian Testing repo via apt get.
Comment 6 daring.bieber 2022-12-29 09:01:23 UTC
Hello, same issue on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Kdenlive installed via ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable.

Same by me
Comment 8 Alan Canon 2023-01-28 18:07:33 UTC
In Ubuntu 22.10, this is caused by a missing dependency:

sudo apt install qml-module-org-kde-kcm

This worked for me. Thanks for sharing this. Hope this will be included in future PPA releases.

You're welcome. I filed a bug with the ubuntu package maintainers:

Same bug,
Comment 13 Oswaldo Rivera Ramírez 2023-02-02 01:39:56 UTC
I have the same problem:
The Effects list appears empty, as is the Transitions list. However, it is possible to apply the effects through the Timeline menu.

Greetings, same issue on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Kdenlive installed via ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable.
Found "white squares" after updating to version 22.12.2 (before that, everything was in order in the effects and compositions panel).

Debug information:

Comment 16 Alan Canon 2023-02-08 10:35:17 UTC
I filed a report against the debian package for kdenlive:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030782

The maintainers of the PPA are aware of the missing dependency and say they've fixed it (in the PPA):

<vpinon[m]> Thanks to your report I updated the ppa

Thank you!

The problem was solved by installing packet for missing dependency by
"sudo apt install qml-module-org-kde-kcm".

PPA modification performed by maintainers, did not help me, because.
judging by the listing, the changes were made to kinetic-updates but I
have the version of jammy. The ppa for it  remains the same.

It's fixed in the development version  23.03.70 but still hasn't percolated into the stable release PPA version.
Comment 19 Ahmed Shubbar 2023-02-25 09:25:50 UTC
Same  problem also on Fedora 37, with Kdenlive 22.12.2 installed from RPMFusion.
However, I could not find a package "qml-module-org-kde-kcm" on either repos to fix this.

You can fix this by installing the package named 'kf5-kirigami2'
I'm also using Fedora 37. After installing this, the effects page can display normally
