SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Editing videos of a speaker, with slides, nearly an hour, many cuts, using transform and alpha mask effects.
2. When I go away to do other things and come back, quite often the preview won't play. (The play icon changes to the pause icon, but the video preview doesn't play.)
3. Open the Kdenlive menu and select Quit Kdenlive.

OBSERVED RESULT
Program doesn't quit, and after a short time the cursor changes to Waiting circle going round and round.
I can open Application Manager, select kdenlive (which is shown as Not Responding) and Force Quit. I'll attach a file of the report that goes to Apple

EXPECTED RESULT
The video should play in the Preview window pane, and when I try to quit the application it should quit.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Ventura 13.4.1

Difficult to say what leads to the crash. Maybe the graphic card. Please update the driver for your AMDRadeonX6000 graphic card and try with latest Kdenlive version 23.08.4 from https://kdenlive.org/en/download/

I don't know if I can update the driver for the video card, as this is a Macbook Pro.
Sorry I left this sitting for so long -- I don't think it has been a problem lately.
Since then I have ugraded the operating system to Sonoma 14.2.1.
If it happens again, I'll report again. I'll close the issue now.
