Hi List, Dan fixed the problem mentioned below for me in the beginning of the year. Now I have a new computer, I got Ubuntu 14.04 on it and installed the recent kdenlive version from the ppa. And now the initial problem returned. Didn't the fix make it into the new kdenlive version?
Any help on how to fix the blinking is appreciated.
