Screenshots of attempting to import videos, the error on render, and render window.

SUMMARY
As of flatpak commit 947d20d935101b6f5287133451417a177ca76c1a3439fb7bf0c0d509ecf7cf08, all video import and export fails.

Attempting to import a video (attempted both mp4 and webm) just imports audio, the video shows a transparent checkerboard. Dragging it into the timeline often crashes the program.

For rendering, the h264 export options are disabled with the message "Unsupported video codec: libx264," and other exports fail with the following message:

[libvpx @ 0x7fce300019c0] [IMGUTILS @ 0x7fce36e68a70] Picture size 0x1 is invalid [libvpx @ 0x7fce300019c0] [IMGUTILS @ 0x7fce36e68a40] Picture size 0x0 is invalid [libvpx @ 0x7fce300019c0] Invalid video pixel format: -1
[webm @ 0x7fce30000f40] dimensions not set [consumer avformat] Could not write header '/home/julian/Videos/untitled.webm'

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE flatpak
2. Import any video, or import an image/audio and attempt to export to any format.

OBSERVED RESULT
The software fails or crashes.

EXPECTED RESULT
The software succeeds without crashing.
