See summary and steps to reproduce. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start kdenlive. 2. In the empty default project (in my case HD 1080p 29.97 fps), right click any video or audio track and select delete. 3. Confirm in the popup. 4. kdenlive crashes. Using version 4:15.12.0-0ubuntu0~sunab~vivid1 from sunab's PPA. OS is Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit. Attaching stacktrace from gdb. The segfault is at 0x00007ffff561ab6c in mlt_service_connect_producer () from /usr/lib/libmlt.so.6
Created attachment 96297 [details] stack trace
Also tested in an empty DV/DVD PAL project with the same result. Desktop environment is Unity. Until I installed kdenlive I didn't have many KDE packages installed, so I could possibly be missing some.

Thanks for your report. The crash happens because an item from the frei0r package is missing. I just fixed the crash in git. As a workaround, try installing the "frei0r-plugins" package, it should solve your problem.
That was quick! I already had frei0r-plugins installed, version 1.4.0+git20151222.2bef628f-0ubuntu0~sunab~vivid1 from the PPA. I found that it lacks the cairoblend transition (/usr/lib/frei0r-1/cairoblend.so). Downgrading to version 1.4-3 from vivid/universe made the crash go away. I'll talk to sunab about why it is missing from his package.
According to sunab frei0r-plugins was built without libcairo and libopencv as they had previously caused problems. New version 1.4.0+git20151226.cea68c2b-0ubuntu0~sunab~vivid2 builds with those packages and so avoids this bug.
