16.08.2 is extremely slowly in compare to 16.08.1. [1] Very slow project video playback in project monitor. [2] After playback in project, clicking on the timeline doesn't do anything. Very lagy :( Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start any project 2. Do anything in the project 3. Expected Results: Normal workflow like in 16.08.1 No other packages were changed in compare to 16.08.1 version.
After downgrading to 16.08.1 I realised the same happens for old version for some reason. After spending few hours, I found a workaround: Goto [Settings] >> [Configure Kdenlive] and then click [Defaults] button. Then close kdenlive, open again, and should be fine for both 16.08.1 and 16.08.2 versions. You could close this bug.
