Description Dan Thompson 2021-10-23 16:57:06 UTC
SUMMARY
The "time remap" feature appears to work in the project monitor, but when the time-remapped video is rendered, I just get blackness.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start kdenlive.exe, standalone 21.08.2 version.
2. Project -> Generators -> Counter; save the clip somewhere.
3. Drag clip to timeline; verify it works in project monitor.
4. Right-click on the clip in the timeline, select "time remap".
5. Add a few keyframes, speeding the clip up, and then back down to 100%.
6. Verify the playback is altered as expected in the project monitor.
7. Click "render", choose MP4-H264/AAC, choose the path, click "render to file".
8. View the rendered video.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should see the counter clip play, with speed altered by step 5.

OBSERVED RESULT
The rendered video appears to be the correct length (shorter than the original, un-time-remapped clip), but it's just a black square.

"About" says using MLT version 7.1.0. Libraries tab says KDE Frameworks 5.86.0; Qt 5.15.2; the *windows* windowing system.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have two monitors; one is high-DPI (4k, set to 150%).

Same here, but in Ubuntu Linux. 

Tried to export in several codecs h264, webm, mpeg2, with same result.

Thank you for reporting. I can confirm the issue, following your steps. After rendering the clip show "invalid" and it's only 122kB in size.

I cannot reproduce the issue anymore. Using version 24.12.0

Please try with the current Kdenlive version 24.12.0 to see if the issue is fixed https://kdenlive.org/en/download/
