*** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Please remove this comment after reading and before submitting - thanks! *** SUMMARY When trying to motion-track a sequence, clicking "analyze to apply effect" freezes the program and it crashes shortly after. My current work-around is to render the section I need into an mp4 and replace the sequence section with that and then apply tracking. STEPS TO REPRODUCE (I tested in brand new project) 1. Add 2 video clips on 2 video tracks 2. Select these 2 clips, right click and click "create sequence" 3. Click the newly created sequence clip and add a motion tracking effect (I tested with algorithm MOSSE and every 1 frame) OBSERVED RESULT Kdenlive freezes and crashes in 5-10 seconds. EXPECTED RESULT Extracting keyframes with motion tracking should work with sequences as if it was analyzing a normal mp4 clip.

Ok, so this is now fixed in git, and will be in the 25.08.2 release, to be announced around the 13th of october. The crash is solved in Kdenlive, but to have the Tracker work, you will also need the latest MLT fix: https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/commit/d1850cfd6a5f2e3babaf809053102b9d5930ab75
With the latest master of Kdenlive and MLT the crash is fixed.
