SUMMARY Using "Normalize (2 pass)" on any audio track causes kdenlive to "freeze," i.e. it is unrespoinsive. The close button doesn't work. I have to do a "kill -9" on the process to kill the program. Nothing seems to be lost after restarting, but Normalize (2 pass) always causes kdenlive to freeze. Initially, it looks like it is working as the progress bar goes all the way across. But it then continues to say, "Abort processing." When clicking on "Abort processing," kdenlive does not respond to anything. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Put Normalize (2 pass) in an audio clip on the timeline 2. Click on Analyze 3. After the progress bar is full, and nothing happens for over a minute, press "Abort Processing." OBSERVED RESULT * kdenlive is now unresponsive and can't be killed with the GUI or window manager. * kill -9 needs to be used to kill the application. * When restarting, nothing is lost, but Normalize (2 pass) always fails when trying again. EXPECTED RESULT * Expected normalize to finish and for the application to not freeze. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Kdenlive: 24.08.0 Package Type: Flatpak MLT: 7.27.0 Qt: 6.7.2 (built against 6.7.2 x86_64-little_endian-lp64) Frameworks: 6.5.0 System: KDE Flatpak runtime Kernel: linux 5.3.0-7648-generic CPU: x86_64 Windowing System: xcb GPU: NVIDIA Corporation/GeForce GTX 670MX/PCIe/SSE2 Movit (GPU): disabled Track Compositing: qtblend ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Using appimage Kdenlive: 23.04.3, Normalize (2 pass) works as expected. This version works: Kdenlive: 23.04.3 Package Type: appimage MLT: 7.17.0 Qt: 5.15.10 (built against 5.15.10 x86_64-little_endian-lp64) Frameworks: 5.108.0 System: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS Kernel: linux 5.3.0-7648-generic CPU: x86_64 Windowing System: xcb Movit (GPU): disabled Track Compositing: frei0r.cairoblend
The Status hasn't changed for a couple of months. Are there any plans to look at or fix this? Currently version 24.x is unusable for me. Until this is fixed, I'll continue using kdenlive 23.04.3.
If you like to run Kdenlive with Qt6 (Kdenlive version 24.x) then you have to update Ubuntu to version 22.04. Otherwise, you have to stay with Kdenlive version 23.08.5 (the last Qt5 version)
Yes, I understand Appimage 24.x Kdenlive will not work on Ubuntu 18.x. It fails on startup. However, Kdenlive 24.x FLATPAK does start and seems to work for everything I've tried so far, but Normalize crashes it. Oh well, thanks for responding.
I just tested the latest stable FlatPak (24.08.3) and I can add the Normalize (2 pass) effect to an audio clip, click "Analyse", everything works. Can you confirm your flatpak version ?
I updated to Kdenlive: 24.08.3 flatpak. Same problem. The application freezes.

(In reply to turtle.engr from comment #3) > Kdenlive will not work on Ubuntu 18.x. ... Ubuntu 18.04 went EOL mid 2023 ... is there some compelling reason you can't upgrade that? I do recall Normalize (2 pass) was flaky in the very early years of me using Kdenlive, but I've been using it in nearly every project for many years now without any trouble from the appimage releases. I'm not sure offhand what code that effect is using - but when kill -9 is the only way out it's usually something system level ...
