SUMMARY
I am trying to use some custom effects I paid for when using DaVinci Resolve/Primiere Pro in KdenLive and can't figure out how to add them. I couldn't find anything in the UI that would allow me to do this.

Adding it to  `/usr/share/kdenlive/effect-templates` did not work

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download effect from FXFactory
2. Try to add to Kdenlive
3. Close/open kdenlive
4. They are not available when searched

OBSERVED RESULT

Effects show up in Effects tab. 

EXPECTED RESULT

I can add them to timeline

Thank you for your report.

Kdenlive does not support third-party plugins. There are plans to support OpenFX in the future, though, but no dates have been set for that yet.
All effects in Kdenlive are handled by the MLT Framework which in turns supports only effects available from the avfilter and frei0r libraries.
