OBSERVED RESULT No option for motion tracking EXPECTED RESULT Expected a motion tracking option SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS X11 Gnome kdenlive Version 21.12.0 I hope that helps.
Thanks for your report! How have you installed Kdenlive? Via Appimage, Flatpak, PPA or through the packages of your system? The motion tracker effect requires OpenCV and if you use the system packages you have to install this separately on some distros…

I installed via the POP OS store. I was amazed they had the latest in their store the day I read about the new build. Good on them. OpenCV was not installed. So I did so just now via `sudo apt install libopencv-dev python3-opencv`. Verified it worked via `python3 -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"`. Loaded kdenlive and still no entry for motion tracking anywhere in the effects area. Searching for `motion` only comes up with `motion-compensation deinterlacing`. I hope that helps.
Hmm. The problem is that mlt (the media backend Kdenlive uses) needs to be build with OpenCV. I guess either you have to build mlt yourself or you use one of the official packages (Appimage and Flatpak are recommended) from https://kdenlive.org/downloads2/ The Kdenlive team does not have control about distro packages.

OK I removed the popos repo version and tried the flatpak. It's there! Thank you for your help. Appreciated.
