I have a shaky video that I would like to stabilize with Kdenlive. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I right-click a clip in the project bin and select Clip Jobs -> Stabilize, but nothing happens.

enter image description here

I am using Kdenlive 15.12.3 on Ubuntu 16.04. What am I doing wrong?

    I think I found the bug and I submitted a patch upstream. We'll see where that goes. – Nathan Osman May 30 '16 at 07:07

    What should happen when you do that? I'm using Ubuntu Studio 16.10, Kdenlive 16.04.3. When I perform this Clip Job, nothing happens. – Csaba Toth Jun 17 '17 at 02:51

This is a bug in Kdenlive 15.12.3. However, there is a newer version of Kdenlive out: version 16.04.1. This is the latest version of Kdenlive and the developers of the application have patched this bug in this version.

This should solve your problem. Good luck!

  • How is that possible? This problem was still present in the Git repository three days ago... – Nathan Osman Jun 01 '16 at 19:19
  • That's weird, I just googled around and a few websites have said that the bug was fixed in the latest version. –  Jun 01 '16 at 22:54

You have to update your kdenlive version. To check your current version type in terminal:

kdenlive --version

To update your version

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt-get install kdenlive -y

I had the same problem with 15.12.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. After reading here what TheChosenOne99 said, I made an update in Terminal (look here: https://kdenlive.org/download/) and the stabilization works now.
