Description J Regenold 2025-07-18 12:39:04 UTC
SUMMARY - When video is moved into a sequence and edited a blank tail remains at the end of the edited sequence. The blank tail can't be removed as 'space' and it DOES render when the sequence is rendered. The tail needs to be able to be removed with 'remove space in all tracks function'


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  After editing a sequence blank space remains at end of sequence displayed in timeline (it appeared to me to be the length of the sequence when first clips were added and length wasn't reduced during editing resulting in a shorter sequence of video with a blank tail at the end.
2. Pressing 'Go to project end' takes you to the end of that blank space instead of end of the last clip in the sequence.  When rendering the sequence the full length of the sequence renders (as black) including the aforementioned blank tail at the end.
3. I have tried all the blank space removal methods per docs and none have worked. I just get an error at the bottom of timeline that says 'Cannot remove space at given position'. 

OBSERVED RESULT - When trying to remove blank space at end of sequence an error message ''Cannot remove space at given position' is shown below the timeline and trailing blank space isn't removed.



EXPECTED RESULT - The blank trailing space following the sequences video clips should be removed using the remove space in all tracks function and timeline pointer should be positioned at the end of the video

Can you please tell us which Kdenlive version ? Is it reproducible in the 25.08 beta AppImage that can be downloaded here:
https://origin.cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/multimedia/kdenlive/release-25.08/linux/

If it still happens, please give more details as how you edit the video to create that trailing space as I cannot reproduce.
Is it by resizing, cut and delete, ...
