--- Comment #2 from Alan Hagge <nospam...@gmail.com> --- Hello, I'd like to respectfully request that this bug report be reopened, as it was in fact filed against the current stable release (16.12.1). The bug concerns the ability to open a project originally created in a prior version. I would hope that you would agree that maintaining the ability to open projects from prior versions of kdenlive is an important functionality, as it would render the software much less useful to have to recreate a project from scratch every time kdenlive was upgraded to a new version. By way of incentive, I've been able to narrow down the part of old project that's causing the crash. If I remove the XML code for one of the titles, it allows the old project to open successfully (although the other titles in the project are not being displayed properly, but we'll ignore that for now). Specifically, this is the offending XML code (lines 1177-1205 in the project file attached): <producer in="0" out="14999" id="17"> <property name="length">15000</property> <property name="eof">pause</property> <property name="resource"/> <property name="progressive">1</property> <property name="aspect_ratio">1</property> <property name="seekable">1</property> <property name="mlt_service">kdenlivetitle</property> <property name="xmldata"><kdenlivetitle width="1920" duration="450" height="1080" out="450" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"> <item z-index="1" type="QGraphicsTextItem"> <position x="485" y="214"> <transform>1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1</transform> </position> <content font-color="255,0,0,255" font-outline-color="0,0,0,255" font-pixel-size="75" font-italic="0" alignment="4" font-underline="0" font-weight="50" font="Impact" font-outline="4">SG Elite 17 Roshambo SCVA Qualifier #2 01/30/2016 American Sports Center, Anaheim</content> </item> <startviewport rect="0,-1019.91,1920,1080"/> <endviewport rect="-0.0128341,978.372,1920,1080"/> <background color="0,0,0,0"/> </kdenlivetitle> </property> <property name="force_reload">0</property> <property name="meta.media.width">1920</property> <property name="meta.media.height">1080</property> </producer> If these lines are removed from the project file, the project import and opens successfully.
