kdenlive is VERY finicky especially if using an older or newer version it can cause crashes, menus not to work, features not to work, things not to work properly.

A good example is that I could NOT get automask to work, there would be no box to control it until I did this full reset.

One caution is that your backup project files will be erased when doing this:

How to Reset kdenlive entirely

rm ~/.config/kdenlive-layoutsrc
rm -rf ~/.cache/kdenlive
rm -rf ~/.config/session/kdenlive_*
rm ~/.config/kdenlive-appimagerc
rm -rf ~/.kdenlive/
rm -rf ~/.local/share/kdenlive/profiles/*

After this a lot of problems went away.  You should do this if features aren't working or if changing your version of kdenlive.  Eg running different appimages or changing your version.
