Hello everyone. First of all, I uploaded a screenshot of the latest kdenlive's cvs on Kdenlive's web site, so that interested people can have a look at the progress going on: http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
Also, I would like to have your opinion as to how we should implement the transition stuff. From what I read, MLT is trying to reduce the difference between filters and transitions (see: http://www.dennedy.org/mlt/twiki/bin/view/MLT/FxCut ) Current implementation: Actually, I changed the "effect stack" dialog, so that the effect parameters are displayed and can be changed from there (you can see it on the screenshot). The keyframes can be adjusted from the keyframe track that is just under the clip on the timeline. Selecting an effect from the stack would display the keyframes for that effect under the clip. That way, I would like to get rid of the "Effect Setup" dialog, and make all keyframe adjusments directly from the timeline. Transitions: It seems to me that we could just rename the Effect Stack dialog to Transition & Effects Stack, and just have transitions added to the listbox. It means transition would be used exactly in the same way as filters. At some point, we could also allow users to create "effect" or "transition" clips, that could be placed on the timeline like any clip, since MLT seems to make this easily possible. Let me know what you think about it... PS: It would also be nice to have some updates on the web site to show the current developpement effort, since it was not updated since more than one year. We could also give some instructions to compile & install kdenlive & mlt. I sent an email to Danny Allen, the current maintainer, but got no answer... If no one volunteers, I can try write a small news about the current situation.
