I have two clips and I click right on the first one. Then on Add a transition and then I chose a transition. The transition appears in the timeline. But in the video nothing is changing. The clips look like before. This happens for every transition.

Why?

By the way: I'm using kdenlive 0.5 from the Ubuntu repositories on my Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10).

Thanks.

I hav exactly the same problem.

i add the transition, but nothing "transitiony" happens-

there is an abrupt change from one clip to the other.

I use KDEnlive 0.5 (Using KDE 3.5.5-0.2.fc6)

Any suggestions?

Kdenlive 0.5 and 0.6 are deprecated and unmaintained. Kdenlive 0.7 is a complete rewrite. Please contact your package maintainer and ask for an upgrade. Or install from sources. We provide all needed information.

Upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 and install Kdenlive 0.7.1 from our recommended repositories.

I have ubuntu 8.04 and I compiled 0.7.1 from source using the instructions provided.  The transitions are not working.  I can add them, but the project monitor does not show them at all.  I had to disable libdirac in the ffmpeg compile due to a compilation issue with the version included in the 8.04 repos.

Transitions work. You probably are not using it correctly. Try harder.

I was having the same issue. I believe this is the fix, I'll try this next time I have Kden up. Well done, this was much more helpfull than try harder...lol.
