How to get the stabilization function working in Kdenlive?

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!

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.

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
