One thing I always do is *always* run Kdenlive with GDB, that way I'll manage to catch those nasty crashes if they appear. For me I can say that it has been ages that I don't get a crash. But I am also always saving by habit. - I would have used the master branch for this project, but I noticed the > packages for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS were no longer in the master branch -- though > they used to be.
