<p>I had this issue with moving files outside of Kdenlive. It did find them using a recursive search, but the video was white. I have deleted them from the project and added them again. This fixed it in my case.</p>

I  believe this was my issue. It's obviously confusing to the App if clips 'disappear'

<p>I use 21.08.0 sometimes when the render is still there. I've found that if restarting the program and opening the project file, Kdenlive will display a file search screen after searching for the file. The image returned to normal.</p>

<p>I also had a similar issue. A quick solution is to 'enable proxy clips'. It worked for me, at least.</p>

<p>I'm doing some editing and I'm trying to render my video but regardless of the output format what gets rendered is just a white screen, still video with the length of my project.</p>

# Kdenlive rendering problem - white video

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-22)

I'm doing some editing and I'm trying to render my video but regardless of the output format what gets rendered is just a white screen, still video with the length of my project.

I'm using
Kdenlive
Version 19.08.2
on Ubuntu 18.04

Perhaps there is already a solution to this problem but I'm having a really hard time finding the correct wording to look up..
