Review and clean up effects & composition list
Summary
Here some points:
-
I like the effect list on 18.12.. At least I'm used to that -
Also the favorite system for my workflow is confusing at the moment -
prefer an all A and V effects separated by categories, and a favorites that could be separated or combined with categories -
The favorite drop down that removes the effects from the main list is confusing -
remove favorite category: Maybe adding a star behind the name would be sufficient because favorites are at the top -
The categories could change to a folder based system, so we don't have to maintain the list on the rc file -
Blacklist effect: Maybe we could have a whitelist of curated effects, with an option to display all (non crashing) effects for users wanting it... -
Some effects don't crash ,but don't seem to do anything useful too, those should be hidden if nothing can be done on our side to make them work (gui wise) -
Rename back "compositions" to "transitions" (as in other video editors) -
Please fix the audio the GVerb filter -
Re-Implement 18.12 behevior to change transition type via properties tab. See #395
