You're probably missing the required GStreamer elements. On Ubuntu, installing gstreamer1.0-libav is probably enough.

The first error was gone installing libav
Now the error is:
Loading project from : presentation.xges ERROR from element imagefreeze25: Internal data stream error. Debugging info: gstimagefreeze.c(924): gst_image_freeze_src_loop (): /GESPipeline:gespipeline0/GESTimeline:gestimeline0/GESVideoTrack:gesvideotrack0/NleComposition:video_nlecomposition0/GstBin:current-bin/NleSource:GESImageSource:nlesource30/GstBin:videosrcbin/GstBin:still-image-bin/GstImageFreeze:imagefreeze25: streaming stopped, reason not-negotiated (-4)Some other package to install?

I've got the gstreamer1.0-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} plugin sets installed, plus gstreamer1.0-vaapi (although I've been able to encode videos on a system that doesn't provide VA-API encoders).
It's hard to provide any more specific suggestions without knowing what distro you are running.
