Bug 351715

A few categories in the Effect List module had me wondering if there wasn't a way to improve recognizability and improve the polish of this area:

1 The "Fun" category - while I absolutely don't want to take away from the fun part of filmmaking and editing, I almost feel that the impression from the category title "fun" takes away from the professionalism and polish that Kdenlive deserves and could potentially be recognized for in the Industry or more professional users. Most of the effects included seem to artistically change the video in some way. Possibly consider changing the category name to "Artistic" or something more prestigious?

2. The "Misc" category - While I don't have a direct solution for this, I might encourage the effects included therein to be moved or placed in an area where the user could see them practically applied to their project? For example: move the "Audio Wave" effect into one of the audio categories? Or the "Cartoon" effect into the "Fun" or a new "Artistic" category?

3. Even possibly consider renaming the "Effect List" and "Effect Stack" modules themselves to something less techy or programmer-esque and more Industry or Film-inclined? Maybe "Effects" and "Effect Properties", or "Effects" and "Effect Details"?

Reproducible: Always
