Goal of the working group
There is currently a great deal of effects, of different quality and relevance. The goal is to clean up the effect list, to get better visibility and usability, and also to evolve the effect management.
The list of Effect related issues on Gitlab
Effect management
Current paradigm
Effect categories
There is currently 5 top categories for effects :
- Main effects
- Video effects
- Audio effects
- Custom effects
- Favorite effects
These categories don't share the same status, though.
The first three are divided into subcategories :
One main idea would be to create a "Legacy" category and place in it non-working, or redundant effects
Table of effects
The full list of effects available from your mlt installation can be retrieved by:
melt -query filters
Kdenlive will blacklist some of these effects, as listed in ./data/blacklisted_effects.txt
The effects are categorized in ./data/kdenliveeffectscategory.rc
The structure of XML files for effect description is detailed in ./data/effects/README
