Created attachment 134535 [details] Error message "no audio track" SUMMARY I've created a playlist with 3 video tracks and no audio tracks. Each video track contains 1 title clip. I want to reuse the playlist in other projects When importing the playlist into another project with no audio tracks, an error message is displayed: "Your project needs more audio tracks to handle all streams. Add 1 audio tracks ?", and I cannot use the playlist. When I create an additional audio track the playlist can be used (and creates an empty audio stream in the timeline) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new project (without audio tracks) 2. Import attached playlist (also without audio tracks) OBSERVED RESULT Error message shown (see screenshot) EXPECTED RESULT The playlist can be used without an audio track being available.

Created attachment 134536 [details] The playlist without audio that I am trying to reuse
Confirmed. You import a project as a clip into another project. The project file which you import has no audio tracks. So Kdenlive should check that and should not ask for an additional audio track to create (and vice versa).
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/merge_requests/546
Kdenlive uses the test_audio property to identify if a playlist has any audio tracks. Looking through the playlist contents as a text file, the playlist contains a 'black_track' with the test_audio property. Assuming the black_track is only meant to be a black background with no audio, I believe this merge request may resolve the issue. This removes the code that added the test_audio property to black_track. https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/merge_requests/546
