I confirm this issue on Windows. I think that should not happen. The proposal Kdenlive offers is to convert to mov file which is failing with an error.

Comment 3 Arno Rog 2021-01-28 21:56:39 UTC 
Should it not be treated as a picture, say a png picture?
Comment 4 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2021-01-29 16:59:36 UTC 
In MLT, files are opened using plugins using a hierarchy depending on the file extension.
For TIFF files, it first tries the QImage plugin (using Qt's QImage formats). If this fails, it will then use the default generic avformat plugin (ffmpeg). When defaulting to this avformat module, no duration is provided, which leads to the problem described.

Your file and other TIFF images work correctly on linux - loaded by the qimage plugin.For some reason, our Windows Qt version must be missing TIFF support... this will need some investigation...
