The program crashes when you are watching the video. When the player reaches the transition between to clips in the same track.

System Details

Hello there,
Just joining the feed to see if any progress has been made on this topic? I am experiencing the exact same crash in the exact same circumstances...
Thank you !

I experience the same issue, with 2.4.2 on Windows. Some transitions work, others crash reproducible.
I also tried it out with the daily build OpenShot-v2.4.2-dev1-1532898209-53c400da-554d9f2f-x86_64.exe from July 29, 2018, 11:09 a.m.

@guerda - Can you list some transitions that produce a crash?

[guerda]

@DylanC I only used transitions/common/fade. Interestingly, most of the transitions work, one repeatedly crashed, during playback and during export.

The transition crashing is a longer one. You can see the culprit here:

@guerda - Thanks, I'll have a look at this later.

@guerda - The normal way that transitions are supposed to used is to overlap both videos, not extend beyond them. If you wish the transition to be twice as long as the overlap of the videos, try not using a transition at all and add a fade to the start/end of the clip(s) using the Right Click -> Fade menu.

I find it's easier to avoid the automatic transitions if I put the clips on different tracks. You'd only need two tracks for a simple project like this, alternating between the two.

i can't work anymore with openshot video, it just crashes over and over every 2-3 transitions. can't find a real reason. did just have a crash on an automatic fade transitions, the one when you collide two videos. as soon as you review it it just crash when reaching the second portion of the video.

2.4.2 \ win10

I'm having this problem too. Crashes every time it hits a transition. Has a solution been found? It looks like this problem is months old...

Im having this problem as well, makes me want to use a new program which is sad cause other than the transitions crashing its a great program

I am also having this issue even with small clips and transitions.

@srmeijer95 @MarcBooster @guerda @N3WWN @Cicoz @BabyCharmander @NimmNimm @KK029302 - Can everyone try the latest daily build? I've been told a fix has been put in for the automatic transitions. However, we need feedback to know if this fix works for everyone. 👍

[KK029302]

@DylanC I installed the latest daily build (OpenShot-v2.4.3-release-candidate-1537166623-x86_64.exe) and I am still having the same issue.

@srmeijer95 - This transitions bug has been fixed. See #2125.
