Crash log

SUMMARY
Rendering in Kdenlive 25.08.2 is being crashed when the 'Export with Metadata'  box is checked. It is happening both in the installed version (using the package manager or 'pacman' in EndeavourOS)  and in the Appimage version. I think this a bug because I tried repeatedly and the render job crashed everytime but not Kdenlive itself.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Import a video clip in Kdenlive and place it in the timeline.
2. Go to Project > Render
3. Select any preset
4. Check 'More options'
5. On the right pane check 'Export Metadata'
6. Click on 'Render to file'

OBSERVED RESULT
Rendering crashed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Render normally.

I cannot reproduce this on Pop!_OS. Please try with different sources or simple color clips.
