Thank you for reporting. Crash confirmed.

Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2023-04-25 17:44:57 UTC

Probably fixed by MLT's latest commit:
https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/commit/67d5efd034c3cb746468dc37d8885aeacdf7f07c

I just included this fix to Craft's packaging so next builds should fix the issue

Comment 3 emohr 2023-04-26 15:38:40 UTC

Updating MLT to latest master or with Windows daily build #1469, the issue is solved.

Comment 4 superdude344 2023-04-26 16:43:13 UTC

I uninstalled, redownloaded, and reinstalled KDen but I still can't cleanly open the program without running as admin and eliminating previous setup, but if I try to load my project it crashes again. I am unsure where to go from here.

Comment 5 superdude344 2023-04-26 16:48:03 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open project after clean install, after clean reinstall and requiring run as administrator and to clear profile settings every launch attempt
2. get file path errors for clips in projects
3. search recursively, and have clips found.
4. hit ok
5. starts loading clips

OBSERVED RESULT
Instant crash

EXPECTED RESULT
load project

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
started happening while trying to troubleshoot mlt issue.

Does the timer is working for you? If yes, we should close this bug. 
If you still experience issues/crash, please open a new bug.

Comment 7 superdude344 2023-04-27 01:25:13 UTC

Ok, sorry, no that did not work. It still crashes on my end if I start with just importing timer or just creating a timer with the mlt.
