Comment 4 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2025-09-03 17:23:36 UTC
I think I fixed the issue. Would be great if you could install the fixed version available here:
https://origin.cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/multimedia/kdenlive/release-25.08/windows/

Install it and try opening the crashing project. Can you confirm it works ? Does everything seem to be in place, no missing effect ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for this, the file opens!

A comparison of the previous rendered output and a render with this version shows hints of differences, likely compression artifacts or noise. From that check everything seems to be in order.

Thanks again for looking into this, and getting a version with a fix so quickly!
Comment 6 alex.haesche 2025-09-03 17:50:34 UTC
The comparison took this form:

ffmpeg -i mostRecentRender.mp4 -i freshRenderNewKdenlive.mp4 -filter_complex "blend=all_mode=difference128" output_diff.mp4
Comment 7 alex.haesche 2025-09-03 21:15:43 UTC
What's interesting is that this new build of kdenlive is able to open the shared save file, save it, and the latest release can open that no problem.

steps
* download new build
* open shared save that crashes
* save
* launch public release
* open the file that was just saved
* see no crash

And I appreciate this, because the build linked here is super slow to interact with. Not sure if it was something I did in unpacking and launching or what.
