Description candide 2020-08-12 22:08:51 UTC

SUMMARY
When I add an effect to a clip, the Create Region effect doesn't seem to work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
See this video for a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysMTH1_hI6w

1. Create a .png with some transparency, like in the video.
2. Add a clip to the timeline.
3. Add an effect.
4. Click on the three horizontal bars in the effect stack and select "Create Region".

OBSERVED RESULT
No region is for the effect is created.

EXPECTED RESULT
The effect should only be applied in zones of the png that are transparent.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

Confirmed. See https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/issues/82

The "create region" is going to be removed in MLT 7, but there is a replacement that maybe needs another workflow and that we need to implement. I am going to close this as MOVED because we track the progress on the issue mentioned above.

Hi Julius, will the replacement be in the next release?
