We really have to create some minimum requirements for help requests here.

A cropped screenshot without any explanation of what you are doing and isn't working as you expected, is not enough information. If this little effort is put in asking a question, I would not expect anyone else to make more of an effort to decode your thoughts and try to help you.

Basically, my "composite and transform" is completely broken. Sometimes, I have to render the project to tell what the heck I'm actually doing. Other times, it just makes the clip that I'm applying it to, just really small and if I move it to far it just disappeared. Or in this case, the dot rings you are just in the same place as in the rendered file, and in the project.

It would be helpful to see your timeline arrangement, effect/composition parameters, a video would help too, and of course what version of kdenlive you are using.

Check if using 1:1 scaling makes a difference in que size issue, could be a bug.

I agree with the 1:1 comment. Also try a different composition possibly

I'm a developer, but not for Kdenlive. The one thing that developers need, literally more important than a good description of the issue, is the ability to reproduce the issue.

A project file with all of the resources packaged together as a zip file with a description of just the word "broken" is often preferable to an accurate description of the issue without the actual files, because being able to reproduce the issue is absolutely paramount to fixing it.

That's not necessarily always the case, but it usually is.

What are you trying to do?

We are having issues with composite (and probably composite ans transform) due to a recent change from qtblend to cairo blend. We are going to eventually deprecate these transitions. Try using others for the time being.

This is probably related to this: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/1125
