Description Darxus 2019-09-18 20:07:31 UTC
SUMMARY
I'm trying to use it to obscure a license plate in a video, using kdenlive-19.08.1-x86_64.appimage on ubuntu.  The red rectangle that's supposed to surround the obscured area often doesn't - it's around some other random spot on the video.  Several times parts of the video I've already done have become unaligned, and I've had to do them over again.  I just tried to add a second auto mask to a section of the video, and dragging that one around caused the other one to move to a randomly different position.  It has crashed on me a couple times.  I'll go to the beginning of a clip, click auto mask's analyze, it won't get the alignment quite right, I'll do exactly the same thing again, and it'll get it right.  I don't know for certain that that part's a bug, but if that randomness is intentional it would surprise me.  

The motion tracking is pretty disappointing.  I wonder if that could be related to the misalignment of the red box with the obscured area - maybe it's doing tracking based on the position of the red box?

(Not really related, but I'd much rather have a single solid color than pixelation, since with enough frames, pixelation can be reversed.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to use auto mask

OBSERVED RESULT
Sadness.

It's tough to tell what of the console output might be useful from my last crash, but here's the end of it:

Please update Ubuntu to 19.04 (Kdenlive uses more updated libraries then in Ubuntu 18.04). 

Automask should work. But there is still a bu with importing keyframes: https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdenlive/issues/23
Comment 3 Darxus 2019-09-24 18:48:54 UTC
I thought the appimage was supposed to contain all the needed updated libraries?

If anybody else is finding themselves in a similar situation, I ended up using blender, which is also free / open source, but has a steep learning curve:  https://blenderartists.org/t/how-do-i-use-a-single-motion-tracking-marker-to-obscure-a-section-of-the-image/1181115/4
Comment 4 Darxus 2019-09-30 14:22:49 UTC
Also, if it needs newer versions of libraries than it is seeing (to be stable), and not throwing an error clearly indicating that, I'd call that a bug as well.

Will be solved with 19.08.2.
