SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch Kdenlive 2. Click, add clip, Crashes 3. OBSERVED RESULT Pauses, then crashes EXPECTED RESULT Open folders for selection of clip/s SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 Pro Ver. 1809 OS Build 17763.504 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Let us know the path where the clip is like: "c:\video\clip name.mts" incl. clip name and from which path do you have started Kdenlive.
Issue also repeatable on Windows 10 Home 10.0.17763. The path to the clip is not relevant since kdenlive crashes before the windows appears to allow a clip to be selected. (Project Bin -> "Add Clip or Folder"->Crash) Issue is repeated in 19.12.3, launched from "C:\Program Files\kdenlive\bin\kdenlive.exe". Issue is repeated in 20.07.70, launched from "D:\Users\markp\Downloads\kdenlive-master-362-windows-mingw_64-gcc\bin\kdenlive.exe"
Please delete kdenliverc and try again. See here https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Windows_Issues#Cannot_open_projects_made_with_previous_version.2C_timeline_snaps_back.2C_cannot_import_clip

Retested with 20.12.2 and the problem does not recur. Bug can be closed.
