SUMMARY
Since the update to KDE Gear 24.08.1, Kdenlive has been crashing on startup. It presents an option to clear config files if it crashed last time, but this doesn't fix anything.

Downgrading to 24.08.0 also does not fix anything, as it still crashes. Downgrading to 24.07.90 doesn't work at all because it mentions something about requiring Qt 6.8 despite Qt 6.7.2 being the latest available in the Arch repositories.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kdenlive, either alone or by opening a project

OBSERVED RESULT
Kdenlive crashes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kdenlive doesn't crash.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS (Linux kernel 6.10.9-arch1-2)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I get these logs when running kdenlive in the terminal.
