Improving effects workflow in Kdenlive

Sunday, 1 April 2012 | Jean-Baptiste Mardelle

First, I should say a big thank you to all the people that helped make our Fundraising campaign so successful, but more infos about that will come in the next days. It is anyways really motivating to see that you are supporting us!

On my side, I have been working on a rewrite of the Kdenlive's effect stack. This work has just been merged into master git, so users of sunab's experimental PPA will get it in the next update, probably in 1-2 days.

The highlights are:

Adjust parameters for several effects without switching between effects
Drag & drop effects from the effect stack to another clip or track
Create effect groups that can be saved or dropped to easily pass effects to another clip or track

I tested the new features for some time now, there are probably a few bugs, but it is really worth it in my opinion, So I am waiting for your feedback & bug reports. And here is a small video demonstrating the new effect stack (video link):
