Well, I have one device (a CAVS SpaceShuttle), and if the permissions are set up correctly (you need read access on it), you can seek in timeline and play / pause with it. The configuration options in Kdenlive could also be much improved to make it really useful. I have no other reports about similar devices, so I guess it's better to say it is still an "initial support level"... > 4.

(after blacklisting) Some of the video effects are listed on the kdenlive web site: http://www.kdenlive.org/effects A few frei0r effects were blacklisted because they were duplicates of MLT core effects. Only one is completely disabled because of a crash. In my Kdenlive install, I have about 35 video effects and 19 audio effects I have 30 transitions listed, but I think only about 10 of them are usable (the other one - taken from frei0r - would need some extra work on MLT and Kdenlive to be usable) > 5.

If some people want to help coding, the best is to have a look at our roadmap: http://www.kdenlive.org:80/mantis/roadmap_page.php They can pick up a feature or bug and try to work on it. Questions on the code can always be sent to this list. Regards jb
