SUMMARY When I try to add a certain large file to the bin, Kdenlive completely crashes. Not 100% sure what the cause is, so I'm hoping the logs and ffprobe will help. I'm readily available to provide additional information on this issue. If required, I can send one of the files that causes the problem privately. As they are protected by copyright, I don't think it's a good idea to attach/link it here. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch Kdenlive and have a new or existing project open. 2. Import a video to the bin. (I've tried this via the "Add Clip or Folder", and by dragging a video into the bin from Nautilus.) 3. Observe crash. OBSERVED RESULT Kdenlive crashes. EXPECTED RESULT Kdenlive should ideally be able to open it as normal, as it can open in other programs. However, if there is indeed a problem, users should be able to get a dialog that reports why the video failed to import.

I see that you have movit enabled. Please disable it as it is not working stable. If nothing helps try with the AppImage from the Kdenlive download page.
I am no longer able to reproduce this issue. Since creating this, I have reinstalled my operating system for other reasons. Kdenlive is now able to read both examples perfectly fine now. Differences: Operating System Version: Ubuntu 18.04 -> Ubuntu 20.04 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 -> 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 -> 5.14.1 Package Manager: flatpak -> snap Logs on launching via snap: https://gist.github.com/SethFalco/1478119e8716ead9b34eddab118b3b7d I also tried the flatpak version with the following differences: Operating System Version: Ubuntu 18.04 -> Ubuntu 20.04 But Kdenlive was still capable of loading both files without error. Logs on launching via flatpak: https://gist.github.com/SethFalco/13b78cbfca1b6e4890d44be2d85cbe8d This issue can probably be closed if there isn't enough information to diagnose an actual problem. I didn't get the chance to test your suggestions either.
Thank you for the feedback and contribution. Glad to hear it works. We close this bug. If it still appears in the latest version, please feel free to re-open it and update the affected version number.
