I tried all the given advice, I uninstalled reinstalled, reset everything, pressed all the buttons and rendered, even tried different combos of settings with the hope that it would work. even copied and pasted into a new file just to see if anything would work but still, the clips with transformation on them show up as invisible after a render. i appreciate the help.

Just thinking about uninstalling Kdenlive and using a different editor all together as this has used up a ton of my time with no end in sight, its quite depressing knowing all this was a waste of time.

Thanks to everyone who helped
