SUMMARY *.kdenlive files store the location of transitions as absolute path. This disrupts interop between different operating systems. For example, my current project saves the location of the transition as following: <property name="resource">/usr/share/kdenlive/lumas/HD/linear_x.pgm</property> As this is located in the Kdenlive shared folder, it should be stored as following: <property name="resource">linear_x.pgm</property> STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a simple project with a wipe transition on Linux 2. Copy the project to a Windows computer 3. Try to open it in Kdenlive OBSERVED RESULT Kdenlive (Windows) does not find the transition(*.pgm) file. EXPECTED RESULT Kdenlive opens the project without complaining about missing files. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 macOS: - Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.8 / 5.19.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thanks for your report! I don't think this is something we are going to change (or we can change because it's the way how mlt works). The shared folder is not the only place were lumas can be saved (they can be save everywhere) and > <property name="resource">linear_x.pgm</property> would mean the luma is in the same folder than the project file. If you want to use a kdenlive project on a different setup you should use Project > Archive Project Please test this and tell us if it solves your problem.
