Created attachment 136192 [details] the most recent project file causing the crash SUMMARY When trying to open a previously saved project file kdenlive crashes immediately STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start kdenlive-20.12.2-x86_64.appimage 2. File/Open projectfile.kdenlive or 3. File/Recent/projectfile.kdenlive OBSERVED RESULT kdenlive crashes without warning or message EXPECTED RESULT the project file is opened for editing SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: leap 15.2 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7 Kernel Version: 5.3.18-lp152.63-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can open the project file from the command line, but it also crashes when pressing Ctrl-End While previously I could render the project by generating a render script and executing the render script from the command line that now also crashes with 'segmentation fault'. I also tried to repeat the procedure above with older backup files. That also didn't work any more.
Thanks for the report! I can confirm the crash with your project file, if I try to use placeholder clips
Hmm. It seems that my crash had a different cause that was not related to your file. Do you remember what you changed the last time it worked? Any action that maybe corrupted the project (like change of the profile, import of a new clip,…)?
The first time the crash in launching a project happened after I had saved and closed kdenlive. All that went without any problems. But I just can't recall what I specifically changed before I saved the project. There is, however, a strange thing happening now. The crash occurs consistently when I start kdenlive and then try to open the project file. I manage to open it when I start kdenlive from a command line with the project file as a parameter.
We fixed some project file opening crashes lately. Please test with the actual daily build to check if the crash still happens: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kdenlive_Nightly_Appimage_Build/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/
