SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Drag a video from your desktop to Kdenlive's editing timeline with a different video profile (Resolution and framerate) 2. Do any simple editing 3. Accept Kdenlive's message to change the profile to adapt to the video you're now editing OBSERVED RESULT The video's order changes completely and you lose hours of editing if you don't click on the message before dragging the video to the timeline EXPECTED RESULT Change the resolution and framerate to adapt to the new video, without altering anything i've edited SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Tried on Version 20.11.70, it still changes the video's order
I see the point. It's mainly a FPS issue. Steps to reproduce: - new project with 720p25 - - add 1 clip with 1080p50 - - ignore "switch to clip profile" - adjust in/out point of the clip in the timeline - now click "switch to clip profile". Kdenlive play now with 50fps. The clip in the timeline is still as long as for 25fps. Consequently you see only the first 50% the length of the clip now. To solve this you have to move each end of the clip and make all clips double as long. We should better guide the user what it means "switch to clip profile". Do you mean that with "change the video order"?

By "changing the video's order" i was referring to the problem it causes.
I have this same problem, too, and really came here to ask if immediate profile-switching could be automatically done by default, to solve this issue.

Maybe it would be better if it switched automatically and the message would be asking to go back to the default that was before the clip was put in the timeline.
Created attachment 149948 [details] Glitch still present in version 22.04.2 Since my explanation wasn't great, here's a video showing the glitch in version 22.04.2

This glitch wasn't fixed.

Great idea!! I am not sure, honestly. I find it very dangerous to change project settings, in particular fps. This messes with keyframes or speed change or time remap settings. It is ok to have Kdenlive ask to change the settings when the first video file is added to the bin and has differing settings. But only then should a switch be possible. Any asset added later must conform to the settings in order to avoid messing up the project. I could see that a warning message could be displayed that informs the user that accepting the changes to the project settings can cause issues. Still, I would recommend against it.
